How do I begin to describe this summer? I cannot…words are indescribable…even pictures won’t do it justice…but let me begin with such an insignificant photo of such an insignificant guy…
His name is Trent.

I cannot believe time has passed so quickly! It seems just yesterday that May was here and I was about to embark on my BigStuf internship. BigStuf consumed me for the summer and it was honestly, the best summer of my life. Believe me, I have had some pretty sweet summers, especially trips to the beach with my grandparents, many weeks in Virginia, and Hawaii. But this summer just trumped ‘em all. Starting today and throughout the next months I will post pictures, videos, and other things that will highlight my experience. I wish I had made time to write and update the blog through the summer, but I believe this blog and some very hefty projects I am working on in my spare time will make up for my abscence from the blog-o-sphere. Not only will you see what all I did, but hopefully you will be able to see the spiritual journey I have embarked on once more in my life…a spiritual reawakening for a God-filled summer.
I am blessed. Period. And I hope in return from all you have done for me (support, friendships, prayers, etc.) you will be blessed as well.

Today my friend Cassi is getting married. I have known here forever…well since the end of middle school and the beginning of high school. Somewhere in that area we first met. I am so proud of her and who she has become. She is marrying Andy Hollums who graduated a few years ago from UGA.
I have had the pleasure of getting to know him over the past two years and think he was quite the fit for her. Andrew Neveils, CW, Mike Meade and myself were all ushers for her wedding. It turned out excellent and I got to see my old church and some old friends there. So many memories of growing up.
Bittersweet. The reception was amazing and the cake was beautiful.

I Danced with Cassi's grandmother!

Experience Kenya!
I slept great, but I was dead tired and so was everybody else. We had breakfast and then went upstairs to rehearse skits, songs, and icebreakers. We spent a few hours doing that. A few people were feeling sick so four dropped out when we went to practice soccer in the field. There was already stuff going on on the field so we found a side patch of grass and spent about thirty minutes going over various soccer drills and moves. We then walked back to our hotel. We had a nice break until lunch, so I just rested in my room. Read more »
