  • Back to Posting!

    Over the summer I was not able to post anything to this site due to some technical error in the site set up. My intention was to blog all summer long but I ended up renovating a house with my son in Greenville and spent most of my summer not on a computer. Now I…

  • Octagons, Adoption & Marriage

    My head is spinning both literally and figuratively. The former I won’t fully explain here but the latter is as one might expect due to these rather unusual days.

We met Martha shortly after we moved to South Carolina and were immediately struck by her passion…
