Interview with Tera

Tera discusses a few of her favorite topics such as family, friends, and daily activities.

One Month Later

It's hard to believe that it has already been more than one month. It is even harder to believe that it actually happened. Things here in Blacksburg feel like normal ... until you pass Norris Hall, or see people still mourning at the memorial on the Drill Field, or go in to Squires Student Center and see the display of the of signs, banners, and mementos that have been sent to Virginia Tech from around the world. I regularly spend time at the coffee shop in Squires and I'm never prepared for the emotions that I feel when I walk in and see the countless thousands of signatures and notes that decorate every inch of each wall. It makes me feel what I felt on that very day. But maybe that's a good thing.

I know that it feels like there is nothing that you can do from where you are, but there is. You can help. If you would like to help us in the process of recovery, please visit our Campus Outreach Virginia website.

Waiting for Ava

Tera is on the lookout for her little sister. Not really. She does know that there is something called "baby Ava" and that it has something to do with her mommy's rather round tummy, but she has no idea that she is about to start doing battle with a newborn for Mommy and Daddy's attention.

But we think Tera will be a wonderful big sister and hopefully they will one day be best friends. We'll let you know when Ava shows up!
