Well, after returning from vacation and then being in Florida all last weekend, there wasn't much chance for any rest this weekend. The first item on the agenda was the wedding of one of my good high school friends and one of Ashley's best friends Kelley. We had a great time friday night at the rehearsal dinner and the wedding turned out to be a success saturday at "Pretty Place" in NC.
The weather was threatening and it rained a little, but it even cleared up enough right before the ceremony to enjoy the view for a while from the mountaintop chapel. The reception was a lot of fun, and I even got to get rid of the 8 to 10 mountain dew bottles I'd been saving up in my car to use as "decorations" for the groom's truck!!
Then came yesterday. Another all day singing affair. I left the house at 6:30 yesterday morning and got back home at 11:30 last night. Wow, what a day. We had two pretty good singings, and of course I always enjoy playing, but it was very tiring and I missed my wife and son. I felt like I hardly saw them this weekend. Next weekend is off except for Classic friday night, so I plan to do absolutely nothing then. Hopefully there'll be more time for rest for all of us!!
Until next time...

My Required Blog
Well, I know it's been a while, but we've been on vacation again, and work has been really hectic. But, my wife threatened me last night that I had better do a blog today. Why? I don't know. I don't think mine are that interesting, but for the sake of marital bliss, I'll jot a few notes.
We got back from the beach almost a week ago. It was another great trip, and Trey had himself a fine time in the sand and water. Speaking of Trey, he's just about to start crawling. He's already scooting all over the floor and getting into everything, but now he's really about to take off.
I was ready to come home about thursday of vacation week, which is my norm, but this time it would be a while before I could come home. I had to get up at 4:30 saturday morning and drive to Columbia to meet my group, The Melodyaires, for a road trip to Palm Coast, Florida. Needless to say, I was just a bit tired.
Luckily we have bunks on the bus and I was able to sleep a little while anyway. We had a great time in Florida with 3 great services. We even got to do a little fishing while we were there saturday night, though we stayed out way too late!! (we stayed out until 4 am)
Anyway, we finally made it back and I got to come home about 5:00 am monday morning. The rest of this week has mainly been spent recovering. Well, hopefully this will make Ashley happy :)!!

The Beach Trip
Well, we got back from Trey's first vacation to the beach on Sunday. We had a great time! Except of course for Friday, when I was laid up in bed almost all day with some kind of stomach bug. Yuck! At least it only lasted for one day, although my stomach didn't feel quite right until just the last day or so. Nothing worse than being sick on vacation!
Trey absolutely loved the beach and the water. He ate his requisite amount of sand and enjoyed sticking his hands in the saltwater and then putting them in his mouth to taste the water. I guess he's going to love salt like me and hear his mommy saying "Good Lord son, that's enough salt!!". LOL.
Overall we had a great trip, finding hundreds of live sand dollars and starfish. They were everywhere; even to the point of my brother Ross and me having a "sand dollar fight". That's where you pick them up and throw them at each other like skipping rocks on the river. We went fishing and caught a bunch of sharks which was pretty neat, and Ashley and my mom enjoyed some shopping. In a little over a week we'll be back at Myrtle Beach with the Maxie Clan which surely promises to be just as fun a time.
I love summer vacations!!
