Good Morning

hey guys, jan is probably currently studying for boards not that she is finished with clinicals. Graduation is next friday, December 5th. Exciting times for the Batson household. Family is coming in and we get to go to Charleston again.

I'm just taking it easy during my planning period. Two day week for me isn't too bad.

Jan is planning to take boards the week before Christmas, if all goes well she should be able to start her job by mid-January maybe.

Other than that, house plans is all that is on tap for the holidays. Hope to hear from everyone soon.

Emergency Trip to Ohio

Unfortunately we got a call that Jan's gpa in ohio had suddenly passed away in his sleep monday night. so we're in ohio, funeral and burial is friday/saturday. Hanging around family taking it easy right now. Be back in SC hopefully Sunday afternoon.

Got to Visit Charleston

This past weekend Jan and I went down to Charleston. It was nice to see the area for the first time since late July for me. Jan had since been down for a few things for school, in fact she was living down there until about 4 weeks ago. The only problem with the visit is I only stayed 26 total hours. But getting away was good. I got to chit chat with several friends we hadn't seen in a while.

We're excited because the weekend of Nov. 7th, we're planning to go down for the whole weekend. Hope everyone has a great week.

finally alive again

Just wanted to let everyone know Jan and I are now united again. We are both living with my parents in Greenville. I am busy going through another football season at Riverside High and Jan is finishing up clinicals. She has i think 8 weeks left. We are counting the days down until December 5th, her graduation.

Over the next month or so, I'll be finishing up football season and Jan and I are getting serious about finding a place to live in Greenville.

Myrtle Beach Vacation with the In-Laws

Jan and I are spending this week with her family down here at Myrtle Beach. I wanted to post a few pictures up here so everyone could see the family. The weather is blazing hot and humid but Jan and I are trying to relax and work on our tans before we get back to the grind. I plan to post a few more later in the week.

Jan's TV Debut

Jan and I got stopped in the Wal-mart parking lot yesterday and was questioned for some story that was being done on South Carolina being gay friendly, the local NBC station was doing the story. We honestly had no idea what they were/are talking about but Jan felt bad for Octavia Mitchell so she reluctantly volunteered to do a quick interview. Click or copy this link and hit video and the story should come up.

Cabo San Lucas Trip

I finally got to a decent internet service so I can post some pictures of our Cabo Trip. It was beautiful and we had a great time with Jan's sister Jill and her husband Jonathan. Cabo is basically at the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula. Beautiful beaches with great fishing, waters sports, sun, some great golf along with many other things. We did a lot of relaxing in the sun, eating including a dinner cruise, parasailing, and some snorkling and swimming in the freezing cold water. It is a great place to visit and we hope to one day go back. More pictures will be posted later when I get the other ones from my brother in law.
