Rhodes to Anywhere

So have you seen the latest?  Sketchers has just announced a new shoe, “Bobs” .  They are the spitting image of Toms Shoes’ comfy slip-ons. To make matters even weirder, Bobs even sell under the premise that for every shoe you buy from them, they’ll donate one to a child in need – which is pretty…

It’s fun meeting new friends.  Odd at times that you can run across people that when you get in a room you feel like you’ve known them for years.  I”m thankful for that.  New places are not so much fun without familiar faces.  We feel like we have been blessed by the familiar even here…

Finish lines are beautiful in races & in life. Especially when someone is there to great you with a kiss – @jrogerdavis. (photo by roger too) One of my friends Becca ran her first race this past weekend.  She was running in honor of her Mom. Student Life had a post Becca wrote prior to the…

So I must admit, I’ve been in a bit of a book mood lately.  Reading… reading and then reading some more.  I can’t remember when I went through a streak like this.  Oh yeah, wait… not too long ago when I picked up the Twilight Series!  I’m enjoying some new reads… I’ve read half of…

We were having our afternoon play time at the beach (still can’t get used to that) with some friends (from Spartanburg of all…

There is NOTHING that makes me happier than knowing I got a good deal on something.  Even to a fault at times I’ll buy something (that I don’t need) only because it was such a steal that it would have been a crime to pass it by.  But this weekend I had a major score. …

I”m a bird!  Or I feel like one.   – I’m flapping my wings….. You know in the movie, oh I forget the name of it… Noah and Ali…. where Ali runs on the beach flapping her arms saying, “I’m a bird! I’m a bird.”  So much hidden meaning in that. I’ve started the nesting process.  Finally…

Oh Norman… You are about to be way too good for us…… We arrived yesterday to our new home and a day later I think we are pretty much settled.  It’s weird living in a home that is “not” yours but becomes “more” of yours because we are here for more than a week.  In many…
