Dear John,

Recent News

I hope everyone had a restful Thanksgiving with family and friends! As I reflect on this past year and all that I’m thankful for, I keep coming back to how grateful I am to have been born in the great state of Texas. We all live in the greatest country in the world, but to live with my family in Texas, surrounded by these wonderful communities, is the greatest blessing. As you begin your holiday shopping, be sure to support these amazing local communities by visiting local businesses and participating in local activities!
