A New Blog

Not a new blog for us...but a funny new blog for you to read. Mark has been a friend since elementary school. He is a free lance writer in Atlanta and has a new blog that makes us laugh out loud. The blog can be a little off color but is well worth the read! Check out the things WHITE CHICKS CHERISH...

Thoughts and Prayers

Almost two weeks ago one of our equestrian athletes was injured in a horse accident. She was not riding, but bathing a horse when it spooked and the rail broke away and knocked her down on the cement. Our Gamecock family appreciate your thoughts and prayers. You can read Victoria's story and keep up with her progress at the caringbridge site.

Happy Birthday

Today we have two birthdays to celebrate...Grandpa Strub & Caroline. We hope you both have a wonderful birthday!

New Friends

Tripp and Carter had a chance to play together twice on Saturday. We went to visit the newest addition to the Bowie family and the boys hit it off. The Bowie's came over to Kimberly & Tillman's house for dinner Saturday night and the boys got to play together again. They might have to get together more often...

Raley Hawthorne Bowie

The newest member of the Bowie family arrived last Tuesday...we hope Kerry and Hunter anre getting some sleep. It appears big brother already likes his little sister Raley!

New Friends, and Old Ones Too

We stayed with our friends in Murray, Kentucky last night, it was our half way point. Trice joined us on our road trip to Iowa and made a new friend, Miss E. It was good to see Ryan, Crystal and Simmons again. It was hard for us all believe it was 10 years ago that I did my internship at Murray State University. It was such a great experience for me and I made great friends! Thanks for letting us visit and your hospitality Ryan and Crystal!!

Where Are They Now?

Tonight I was digging under the guest bed looking for wrapping paper - Yes, I've already started Christmas shopping and was starting to wrap gifts - and came across a box of old photos. I looked through all the old photos in the box - some where childhood pictures with family but most were from high school and college. There are lot of people I have lost touch with over the years and I wonder where they are and what they are doing... I have done a better job of keeping in touch with people since I've graduated but I could always do better. Where are they now - LJ, Rico, Saffer, Mastin, Brune, Blundy, Jen, Liz...

Welcome to the World

Our friends had their baby yesterday. What an exciting time for them... We went to visit them today in the hospital and took a few pictures. What a tiny little miracle - he weighed 5 lbs 10 oz. We wish them the best in the coming weeks and hope they manage to get a little sleep!
