Columbia Trip
The evaluation culminated against the historic backdrop of the State House, a place saturated with the echoes of the past. Immortal stories are etched within its domain, awaiting a voice to bring them to life. Dominating the landscape, the statue of George Washington stands tall, with its broken cane bearing witness to the passage of time. In the year 1865, it was not the thundering cannons or gunfire that struck a blow, but rather a simple brick hurled at the bronze figure of Washington by federal soldiers, an act leaving a permanent scar that recalls Sherman's occupation and the lasting impacts of his military campaign.

The Great Blue Hills of God
The stories told by my grandfather were not just narratives of the past; they were the threads that wove the fabric of our identity. He would speak of the legacy left by the Cherokee on these lands, leaving a mark as indelible as the seasons themselves. To this day, I feel the presence of my ancestors in the rustling leaves and the gentle babble of the brooks, as if they are reaching through time to remind me of who I am and whence I came.

Easter Film
The featured photo of this post is of my wife gazing out over the mountains of the upstate. I wonder what she was thinking at that time. Was she contemplating the future, pondering whether or not she should marry this goofball? I can't say for sure, but I do find myself wondering. We have been married for almost a year. Indeed, it has been an adventure, brimming with memories etched into each day. We've shared laughter that filled rooms and comforted each other during moments of silence that needed no words. Through both great times and tough times, we've been inseparably united, two souls entwined by destiny and love.
