Back to School

The time has come again for Diamond to go back to work. It has been pretty hectic around the house and at Diamond's school the last few weeks, trying to get her classroom ready for the students. I'm kind of glad that she's going back, because now I don't have to have those envious feelings of seeing her and the children asleep in the bed as I head out to work. Ashleigh will be in 5K Montessori and will be returning to McLaurin Elementary, the school she went to last year. We all decided that instead of going to "mommy's" school (Royall Elem.), she would spend one more year at McLaurin. Ashleigh loved it last year, and couldn't wait to go back. She's been counting down the days.

Just Getting Started

I've been considering writing a blog for a while, but just didn't know if I'd be able to keep it going. I finally decided it was worth a try so here is my first attempt. I guess I should tell you a little about myself and my family, for those of you who don't know. My wife's name is Diamond and we have been married since June 12, 1997. We met in 1993 when I was a sophomore and she was a senior at Clemson (GO TIGERS!!!) We have two daughters, Ashleigh Alexandria (born 11/04/02) and Nataleigh Nicole (born 2/13/07). We have lived in Florence since 2001, where I work at an architectural firm and Diamond is and elementary school teacher.
