Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Sorrells

A month ago one of Colin's best friends (and roommate for 4 years at Clemson) got married in Augusta, GA. We traveled down for the weekend to celebrate Brian and Ashley. Colin was in heaven because all the guys that he lived with during college were there and in the wedding. Colin was a groomsman along with several other of his dear friends. They have a blast just getting to see each other. For awhile, everyone was really spread out and we usually only got to see them during football. We are very lucky now that Chris has moved to Charlotte to start his residency and Brian has moved to Greenville with Ashley. We also got to see our good friends Wes and Kate at the reception. We don't get to see them often and I am always thankful when we do!

The wedding was beautiful and so was the couple! They are perfect for each other and I am so glad they are married now. I'm so excited that Brian married Ashley, not only is she great but I think that we will just continue to become good friends. Below are some pictures from the wedding.


Congratulations Brian and Ashley, we wish you a lifetime of happiness and love!

Warrior Dash is for Sissies!

I've been so bad at blogging but several weekends ago we ran in the Warrior Dash with our friends Chris, Brian and Ashley. To be honest I was SO nervous about doing this because I am not a runner not did I do much running to prepare myself for this. Not to mention Chris is a beast and runs half-marathons, Ashley is a runner and Brian is always in shape.

Luckily, I had nothing to worry about....this race was easy. You paid way to much for what you got. They claimed the course was 3.48 miles but there is no way because we walked some, you get stopped at obstacles and we finished in 40 minutes. The obstacles were also too easy. I really wanted to be challenged with the obstacles but they were a piece of cake. Ok, complaining aside, I really did have a good time. I loved the mud and the obstacles and I can't wait to run a race like that again. We already decided we are going to put together a team for the USMC Mud Run in Columbia on October 15th. Chris, Brian and Ashley all ran it last year and said it was awesome, so I can't wait for this race. I have to say, after running this race, I have no desire to run in a running only race. I just don't like running but I love the obstacles! Below are 2 pictures from the day. We had a great time with out friends and even went to see Bridesmaids that afternoon.
