Ok. Tomorrow I am scheduled for my surgery to fix my protruding "chitlins". I get up at 6:30 am - that's three hours later than normal - and I'm scheduled for a 7:45 am arrival. That sucks for Jen. But I can't drive myself back from the hospital.
In fact, it's kind of sad that I'm looking at this surgery as a "vacation" from work. I get a week off. In fact, I am not scheduled to return to work until April 11th! That is over a week off. YEAH!
You see things at UPS get REAL crazy around Master's week (remember I work in Augusta, GA - home of Augusta National). I will not be there. I will be resting my sliced, plugged, and sutured abdomen.
Jen's parents will be here for most of the week (the trip was planned before the surgery was set) and that is always fun:)
And, finally, I will get to watch the NCAA basketball championship final - usually I would be going to sleep at that time of night. This evening I'm watching South Carolina play Michigan in the NIT final. I love sports and I REALLY love being able to stay up and watch the games - damn, I sound like a 10 year old.
Anyhoo. I'll post after I get back to a conscious state, with a managed pain threshold:)

Well, The Big News On The Meeting Is...
... the group that was considering the business venture have said, "no".
Shit. No, really. Shit.
So I'm a bit stunned right now - and frustrated - and disappointed - and depressed. For me that should last about two days. Jen's parents are coming up for a visit next week so that will be timely.
We'll bang heads and come up with some ideas. Right now it's just "recoup" time - reflection and evaluation.

5th Anniversary Trip
First, I apologize for not being very "blogful" this past month. It has been a month of reflection and conversation for Jen and I as we wait for word from a group of investors as to if they are going to get involved in building another office here in the Aiken area. Needless to say there is a lot of stress and such in the waiting.
In the meantime we have just returned from our 5th anniversary trip. We had friends (whom I did a wedding for) give us a gift certificate for two nights at the Two Meeting Street Inn in Charleston, SC. It was wonderful! The inn is charming and has lots of history. Being a bed and breakfast, you get to meet people in an entirely different setting than a hotel/motel. Below are a few pictures from the trip.

The past five years of marriage to Jen have been some of the most wonderful in my life and I am SO thankful for her being in my life. I am such a better man and person because of her. I can only hope that others can experience life to such fulness. Thanks baby, for being my bride.
The weekend had extremes of climate - one day was rainy and cold, the next sunny and mild. One day was both!!
We had great meals at Fleet Landing and Magnolias. Walked up the streets and the Battery. It was fun and relaxing.
If you ever get a chance to get to Charleston, SC and want to stay in a unique and "posh" inn, consider Two Meeting Street.

Chitlin's On The Loose
Well, after a few months of seeing a bulge develop on my inner thigh I went to the doctors.
Being "In Network" is a real important thing with my insurance so I have to visit my Primary Care Physician, who has to look at the afflicted area and then refer me to a specialist - a hernia doctor (really a general surgeon).
I had the visit today and my chitlin's are definitely poking out of my gut. My surgery is scheduled for March 31st. The surgeon will stick a "plug" and a patch in the offending area. The plug is kind of like a badminton shuttlecock that is placed in the hole in the abdominal wall and it then opens and stops my guts from pressing out and causing a problem. The patch goes on top of this and then adheres to the muscle of the abdomen.
I should be ready to be ready to resume full activities a few days after the operation.

PS - This past weekend was a watershed experience for me. David Ruis was in Augusta, as well as Don Williams. It was a conference on worship. You can check out more at Kingdomrain.net.
