Happy 2nd Anniversary!

Two years! We took this picture right before we went out to dinner at Bella's. I ordered veal, and McLean had a shrimp and scallop pasta. We each tried a bite of our wedding cake, but we decided to throw it away. Two years is a long time for a cake in the freezer. Even though we had to work on our anniversary, it was still special!

Charleston

McLean and I went to Charleston, South Carolina last weekend for Sally and Taylor's wedding, and these are some pictures that I took. This was my attempt at taking an "artsy" shot with McLean's camera. It usually doesn't focus very well, but I thought this one looked pretty cool!

Here we are on King Street. There were tons of cool shops, and the weather was perfect this day!

I liked this one too! Everything was old and antique looking in Charleston. I thought this gate probably had a lot of history to it.



Prime Number Song

My 6th grade math class performed this song on the first 14 prime numbers!

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star

I wrote a simple two-part arrangement of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" for concert band on Tuesday. The saxophones played the melody, and the clarinets played the harmony. Somehow everyone was in tune and playing all the right notes. At the end, I told them all to stand up and relish that moment for a second. It was the best we had ever sounded! :) 

Rock the Universe 2011

 This is the picture of the whole group at Rock the Universe 2011 in Orlando, Florida. We went to Universal Studios on Friday and Islands of Adventure on Saturday. We rode the Mummy, Jaws, Simpsons, E.T., Shrek 4D, Dueling Dragons, Spiderman, Log Flume, the Hulk, and the Harry Potter ride, which was the best roller coaster I have ever been on!!!

 This is a picture of my group posing with Wolverine. Scotty was wearing his Furman University shirt proudly, and everybody else is holding their wands that they bought in Harry Potter land. The butter beer was pretty good stuff, actually! Very sweet, and very filling.

This is a picture of both my group and McLean's group. We hung out all day together at Islands of Adventure. That night we got to see Third Day and Casting Crowns play live. The middle schoolers did not care much for the music, but I did get to hear Third Day play "God of Wonders" and Casting Crowns play "I Can Only Imagine" and "Who Am I"! The whole weekend was a blast!!

High School LDOS Party 2011

This picture was taken at the end of Davis Island right after we finished playing "Produce Baseball"! Patrick Wright is about to dump a liquid ice pop on McLean's head. This was a great way to end the summer!

Middle School LDOS Party 2011

This picture was taken at the end of the craziest scavenger hunt ever. My group of boys are in the back holding up the dead palm branch that should have represented our victory. We were somehow beaten by the group of girls next to us holding up the large tree branch.
