We won!!!

The Rebels won tonight!!! The catcher, my daughter, threw two runners out-one on first and the second on second base. Tomorrow night-The Indians. Go Girls!!!

It's Official!

As of today, my oldest daughter is an official Gamecock! Her acceptance letter is on the table waiting on her to open later after a softball game. I am so proud of her and her accomplishments. I am a little sad that she will be leaving home, but she is growing up and has big plans.

I know she will do well and we will continue to be proud of her.

Stay tuned :)

A Share of the SEC East

Well, we lost to UT, but we still got a share of the SEC East title! Go Gamecocks! We are getting ready for the SEC tournament and who knows maybe a SEC title.


I love middle schoolers. Every day I am blessed to work with great young people. I get to enjoy their energy and most importantly their sense of humor. I can't think of a better age to work with.

Softball Time!!!

It is March and that means time for fast pitch softball! I am the mother of the world's best catcher and we have had a great start to the season. In scrimmages, we have tied 2 state champions and most importantly played well in every outing. Today, we came in second at the local pre-season tournament. Not bad, but we were inches from winning it all!

Good things ahead for our team as well. Stay tuned for updates!

Oh well!

Well, if you follow sports then you know there was a little disappointment in the Gamecock world on Thursday night. :( It didn't end the way I wanted, but a year ago, who would have thought the men's basketball team would be 20 wins and less than 10 losses? First round bye in the SEC tournament? Not me! I do believe bright days are ahead for Coach Horn and our Gamecocks!

Waiting for our Next Game

We are less than 24 hours away from tip off at the Colonial Life Center. I hope the garnet army is ready to be loud and supportive for our Gamecocks! I hope the place is a sell out and full of energy for our Gamecocks! I will be at home watching on television! Go Gamecocks!!

The snow has been fun, but it is now delaying the start of another passion of mine-Gamecock Football. Our spring practice has been delayed due to weather, and if you saw us the last three games on offensive then you know we need every practice!

None the less, I have all the confidence and hope this is going to be a great year to be a Gamecock!

Another Snow Day!

Snow is still everywhere in Upstate South Carolina. Our family snowman is a little smaller today, but he still adorns his USC hat proudly. I am sure he is hanging around until we beat UT on Thursday night.

Go Gamecocks!

First Day on the Blog

Happy Snow Day!

I have always loved living in beautiful South Carolina and snow on March 1st is another great reason. We have enjoyed time at home watching television and yes of course building our snowman. It is rather large with sunglasses and a USC hat, of course. We threw snowballs and made snow angels as well. We decided to walk the neighborhood and see what everyone else was up too. Snowpeople, angels, and flying snowballs were everywhere. One of neighborhood children hit me, yes me in the back of the head. Everyone laughed but me!

A day like today reminds me of God's strength. Only He can send snowflakes that are never repeated and only He can place them on top of tree branches, so they look like a planned picture.

I hope everyone enjoyed the snow!
