I don’t think I’m ever moving back to my hometown. First of all, there are no jobs – but even if there were, there’s no church close enough. There are 4 LCG congregations in the general vicinity, but the closest one (Asheboro) is exactly 100 miles from my parents’ home. Raleigh (actually Warsaw) is 110 miles away according to Expedia, Charlotte 120, and Walterboro, SC is 135-140. There is a UCG congregation 30 miles away near Florence, SC. My wife and I attempted to go there once, but I made a wrong turn. We got there just in time to hear 6 minutes of sermon, sing a song, hear a prayer, and that was that. The brethren there were nice though. Had I grown up in WCG I would’ve attended church with most of them.
Anyway, I’m at work now and the kids have been behaving themselves pretty well. It seems that many professors give tests the same week at the university; this must be one of those weeks because everyone is studying. Facebook and AOL IM are lonely tonight.
And as a further blessing, Duke girls AND boys lost this weekend. And it looks like the Tigers just might be in the Big Dance again after two straight wins to close out the season. I need to go through my Rolodex of friends with big-screen HD TVs.
Oh, my new niece is gorgeous.

Yea, I guess they don't make convertible vans. This milestone in your life is no excuse to set aside exercising. It seems that the last two pics are a preview of things to come!
Warsaw, NC? Are you for real? I spent my last two years of HS in Wallace, and my parents had a house there for another 5 years afterwards (my dad was a veterinarian for the state of NC). WCG was in Wilmington then. No clue what happened to all of them since the split. I know they're not in UCG.
For those of us who chose to stick with the truth, location has become important. I had a couple of job opportunities in Chas, SC a year or so back and turned them down because there's no UCG congregation for miles and miles around, although LCG in W'boro is close and I know some of the folks there.
Cute niece.
Go Heels! (And, yes, I thought it was a bad call to eject and suspend Henderson for what was clearly not vindictive or provocrative when he came down on Hansbrough's nose - ouch!!! - the officials were wrong and I hated to see that happen to Duke even though they're our arch rivals).
Wallace? When did you graduate? I have a few friends from there. Wallace is the red-headed stepchild of Marlboro County.
I missed the Duke/UNC game, but I saw the elbow on ESPN. Intentional or not, that hurt!
Thanks for commenting!

Hey- I know a young married couple who has a van... and no kid.
:)
Vans are cool. All big and stuff. Lots of stuff can fit in them.
Boxes, hockey gear, you know... other stuff too.
