In memory.

I've been really busy at work lately, hence the lack of posting...but I want to steal a quick minute and pay tribute to one of my favorite Gamecocks. Kenny McKinley was so many things to our program, but above all Kenny was a true role model and team player. I don't think there is a better athlete than the kind who can set positive examples on and off the field and that was Kenny. For whatever reason, Kenny chose to end his life yesterday. We will never probably know what was really going on in his head, but I do know that Kenny's smile was contagious and he will never be forgotten at South Carolina. Number Eleven forever.

I'm not a great writer, so if you want to read the best story on Kenny...please take a minute and read what my dear friend Travis (Sports writer for the Post and Courier) had to say. Travis can put my feelings and emotions into words way better than I will ever be able to....he's amazing.

Rest in Peace Kenny, we will always love you here in Gamecock country.

2019 family Village Creek trip

Our 2019 summer family vacation was everything I could have asked for, and more!  This year, my parents and nephew joined us for the week so we had extra fun!  (and extra chaos of course, too!)  We did ALL the things, but yet also did ALL the relaxing.  We arrived on G and T's actual, bday so we started our trip with a special birthday lunch in downtown Beaufort with just the boys since Collins rode down with my mom.  We also finally experienced the drive in movie that night for Toy Story 4 and it was AWESOME!  We only had one day of cloudy weather so that was awesome!  We ventured to Bohicket Marina, Harbor Town, Harbor Island, Edisto Island, Botany Bay, our favorite sandbar AND downtown Beaufort by boat, we had a ball!   My dad got some AMAZING fireworks and we had a little show for the culdesac, so much fun!!  Mikey and I even got to sneak out one n...
