Yesterday, I did something millions of moms are doing this time of year… I packed up my youngest son, drove him to college, helped him get settled…and then somehow drove home without him.
Beckett is officially a student at Temple University, where he’ll be pursuing Film Arts with dreams of becoming a screen director and writer. 🎬
And while I couldn’t be more excited for him and the life he’s beginning to build, any parent who has made that drive home knows there’s a whole lot wrapped up in it.
Pride. Excitement. Worry. Memories. And that strange realization that another chapter of your family’s life just ended while a brand-new one began.
Before I was the owner of Tuscarora Custom, I was a mom.
And I still am.
That’s part of why the words “woman owned, family fueled” mean so much to me. They aren’t just something we put on our website.
Tuscarora is our family.
It’s Brandon leading our work in the field. It’s our son Trevor learning a trade and working alongside his dad. It’s conversations about jobs around the dinner table. It’s early mornings, long days, big decisions, celebrations, frustrations, and building something together that we hope lasts long beyond us.
Yes, we build with stone, brick, concrete and mortar.
But I think we understand better than most that a home is so much more than what it’s built from.
It’s where you raised the kids who are suddenly leaving for college.
It’s the patio where everyone gathers when they come back.
It’s the fireplace they’ll sit around at the holidays.
It’s the backyard where someday there may be grandchildren running around.
And sometimes, when one chapter of life changes, you start looking at your home a little differently too.
Maybe the play area becomes the outdoor kitchen you’ve always wanted. Maybe it’s finally time for that patio, fireplace, garden wall or outdoor living space you’ve talked about for years. Maybe you’re simply ready to create a home that fits this next chapter of your life.
Whatever that next chapter looks like, we’d be honored to help you build a little piece of it.
Because at the heart of Tuscarora Custom, we’re not just a woman-owned masonry construction company.
We’re a family building for other families.
And yesterday, this mom officially entered her next chapter, too. ❤️
Congratulations, Beckett. Go tell some incredible stories. 🎬
