Columbia SC

I spent the weekend after New Years visiting my nieces and nephews in Columbia SC. I got to see were my future Great Niece Addison will be sleeping, her mom and dad fixed her bedroom up so nice. I got to spend time with Kasey and Marshall and met Connor Cook. I was treated to a USC vs. UNC Ashville college basketball game by Eric and Alisha. Amanda, Paul, Eric, Alisha and myself went and had such a great time. Its always fun when I get to visit them. Here are some pictures.

Christmas and New Years in TN

I spent Christmas Day and New Years with Mike, Kim, Madison, Hunter and the Entire Rutig Family. I had a great time and got to see Hunter for the first time. He is such a cute boy. Mike and I continued work on the basement that we started earlier in the year. Mike has finished dry walling the basement. We installed a tile floor for the Bathroom and installed a return air vent for the basement. I was able to spend time with Jim and Karen and Jon and Danielle. Mike and Alece (dont know if i spelled it right) came over for new years and it was the first time seeing Mike Rutig in 3 years and I got to meet Alece who is great. (sorry Alece I didnt have a pict of you) It was a great time with great people... here are some pictures from my time with them.

Christmas Eve at Memaw and Poppys

Most of the family was able to make it memaw and poppys for Christmas Eve lunch. We all had a great time then all piled into Poppys RV and drove to their church for Christmas Eve service.

New Laundry Room at Memaw & Poppy

Last Week I went and installed a new tile floor and hot water heater at Memaw and Poppys house.

A Great Man

I am currently reading the autobiography of Dr. Jerry Falwell. I am only on chapter 4 and to see the strife his family went through and for him to become such a man for people to look up to and see how with faith in God there is nothing that cannot be done. I know I am a little bias. I am one of Jerry's kids. I am a Liberty University alumni. I have always looked up to him and seen him as a person I could look at to see what I should be doing. But to read about how he came from a grandfather that was an atheist and dad who was an agnostic and he became a man who changed history by getting christians involved in the political process and how he shared Gods love with the world and made an impact that will not be forgotten for generations. If you have kids looking for a college I say check out Liberty University (www.liberty.edu). It was a vision God gave to Jerry so that people can earn a Degree and still be surrounded by people of faith. If you want a good book to read I suggest picking up Falwells autobigraphy. Its a great read.

Thanksgiving

This year we had Thanksgiving at Allen and Sherri's house. I think everyone had a good time, we kept giving Kim a hard time because she had been sick. We wouldnt let her near the food prep. Here are some pictures.
