Acknowledging foremost my marriage to Christ, I pledge to you my love, my life, and service as He has demonstrated unto the church.

To Grandma’s House We Go
1 minuteEmily and I both have the wonderful pleasure of two days off work…at the same time; a very rare occurrence! So when our days off overlap, we like to take advantage of our time together and our love for road-trips and traveling. Ergo this morning (wednesday circa 8:00am) we will put our Ford Taurus on the road for Columbus, Ohio, whenceforth we shall drive 4ish hours over the hills and through the woods to [my] Grandmother's house. We're taking our digital camera, so hopefully we can show what we've been up to when we get back into Morgantown on Thursday…
