Labor Day Weekend

For Labor Day 2020, Olivia and I spent an extended weekend at Wrightsville Beach with friends and family. I did my best to recap everything and film as much as I could, but I inevitably missed a good percentage of the weekend just relaxing and enjoying the great company. I will do my best toContinue reading “Labor Day Weekend”

Jumping Out of a Plane

To kickoff Olivia’s 27th year of existence, I decided to surprise her with an experience we will never, ever forget. I booked reservations for us to go skydiving at the beach! If you want to see evidence of me falling out of the sky from a perfectly good airplane, check out the video below: IContinue reading “Jumping Out of a Plane”

In Memory of O.K. Pridgen

A celebration of life was held for my grandfather on Friday, July 10th. The service took place at the beautiful First Baptist Church in Wilmington, NC. My grandfather spent every Sunday at the church with his Sunday school group, and I have many memories of meeting him after to attend the regular worship. My grandfather,Continue reading “In Memory of O.K. Pridgen”

Father’s Day Weekend

I was fortunate enough to be around some of my favorite people this past weekend. We had a large group down at the beach house in Wrightsville–Olivia’s parents, my brother Rhett and his girlfriend Logan, Logan’s parents, my cousin Garrett and my uncle Kip, and of course my mom and dad. It was a fullContinue reading “Father’s Day Weekend”

Getting Outdoors

The second weekend with the new gear is in the books, and I was able to crank out two new videos. The first entry is from a Friday afternoon trip to the local track to play some golf: I ended up playing pretty well besides getting slightly distracted on the back nine (drone might’ve beenContinue reading “Getting Outdoors”

Coronavirus Update

Well…what else can I say? What an unprecedented time to be alive. I never would’ve seen this coming after my last trip to Montreal (last blog post) when the restrictions were just being instituted, but here we are. With all this travel on hold and a bit more time on my hands, I figured IContinue reading “Coronavirus Update”
