The Probability, Part 1 (July 8, 2008)
Do you recall the probability and permutations part of math class? I didn’t like that part. You know why? Because it just made the possibility of my being singled out seem so impossible. The good news is that Jesus Christ would have gone to the cross to pay for my sins if I were the…

Happy Birthday Henry! (July 6, 2008)
Yup, July 6th, a day of significance to the extended Pressley family is also the date of my husband’s birth. I’m going to put a picture from his party in here. Unfortunately, I am wiped tired, so I’ll post it tomorrow. For now, I must sleep. We spent the whole day at church, eating, playing,…

Don’t Forget Chicago (July 5, 2008)
We hadn’t quite gotten into the flow of uploading the pictures on our first stop, which was to see our grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins in Chicago. We visited the Museum of Science and Industry on Sunday with cousin T and his folks and Granddad. We have yet to determine who has more fun on…

Seeing the Sarge (July 5, 2008)
We had a fairly relaxed morning on Saturday. So much so that we had to rush our packing and departure to keep from getting charged an extra night. The capital of South Carolina, Columbia, is also home to Henry’s collegiate alma mater. Were it not for one of his mentors, Stanley McGraw, my husband says…

The Rest of DC (July 5, 2008)
The one variable I didn’t factor into our travels was the time necessary to transfer and upload the pictures for the blog. But I just simply must find a time to do it; easier to do that than to find the time to tell everyone individually about our exploits. With that said, this post is…

Resting from DC (July 5, 2008)
Walking the mall between the metro’s Foggy Bottom and L’Enfant Plaza stations definitely took its toll on us all. It was that night that we enjoyed the company of the Clark family. Needless to say, we were all worn out. G awakened with me, despite my best efforts to sneak out of the bed. Emerging…

We Met Online (July 5, 2008)
Ever asked a couple how they met and the reply is, “Oh, we met online.” I’ve heard it more than once. I even know a couple met online and each of their best friends came on their first date. The friends ended up hitting it off, too. And BOTH couples got married over the next…

Carowinds (July 5, 2008)
We had to leave our picnic time with our friends when The Call came in. Sis Annette informed us that they had arrived at Carowinds and it was time to join them at the amusement park. We strolled into the Charlotte attraction early afternoon, and joined our relatives back in the water park. Seeing his…

Final Destination (July 5, 2008)
We are here in Augusta, GA. If we had purchased a direct flight, it would have been here where Henry’s siblings are all within a 2-hour radius. And the whole clan was together tonight. I’m tired, so not a lot of talk, just pics. The funniest one is of Annette and Christine taking pictures of…

Riding the Metro (July 4, 2008)
Riding the metro was a blast! I’m not sure who enjoyed it more: T because he was no longer afraid. J because he could navigate the adventure. S because…well, just because, or G for the people watching. We had to Regardless, here are T and S standing on the Orange Line having left the Dunn-Loring…

Dr. Who? (July 4, 2008)
We disembarked the metro at Foggy Bottom and began our hike to the Lincoln Memorial. The boys were road-hardy this day, but we gave them a rest at the gift shop, choosing to sit at the outside tables and enjoy ad peanut butter sandwich and water. Henry then said, “That was Dr. Lowe that just…

Dinner with the Clarks (July 4, 2008)
Marcy didn’t have the house to host us…Leah didn’t have the time to prep dinner for us. And we didn’t have either, but we love hanging out. We had the ideal ingredients for a wonderful evening with friends. Marcy prepared homemade spaghetti, with a vegetarian option. Leah worked it out with the hospitality, procuring chairs…
