In addition to the music, tie dying shirts, frisbee, soccer, volleyball and refreshments also filled the day's activites. It was blast and alot of excellent musis filled the air for the afternoon.

Once again we took advantage of the visit to take in some of the North Carolina scenery. Asheville is about two hours from the Abbey towards the Tennessee border. George Vanderbilt built his Biltmore Estate there in the late 1800s and is the largest privately owned home in the country. The house has over two hundred rooms and almost 40 bathrooms. It is located on 8000 plus acres and requires over 1800 employees. There is only pictures from outsie of the house because no photography is allowed inside.

As part of the tour, Cat got the opportunity to try out our great facilities here at the Abbey. Since she had to miss her varsity and ASA practice to come visit, we had her do some fielding and pitching practice here.

Easter Break

My sister Catherine Anne along with my parents visited over break. I arranged for my sister to see a softball game between Pfeiffer University and Belmont Abbey. My sister wanted to tour Belmont Abbey and since she is an avid softball player, I thought this would be a great way for her to see the team and get a feel for the softball program. The weather was perfect and the games were exciting but unfortunately for the Abbey, Pfeiffer, largely due to luck, managed to squeak by for the win. Below are some candid shots of the game.

I made it down safe and with a new appreciation for when I see people rappelling out of helicopters and off cliffs.

Spring Break 2009

I had quite a bit of work to finish over break so I didn’t go home to New Jersey. My parents came to visit on Thursday the 12^th and we decided to hike to the top of Crowder’s Mountain which is a state park about 30 miles from the Abbey. As I have said before, things always happen for a reason and today proved to be one such example. We hiked to the top for pictures and met a group of Army training specialists preparing to teach a group of ROTC students that were going to arrive from Wofford College in South Carolina. The group of recruits hadn’t arrived yet and the instructors invited my family and I to receive some rappelling instruction and try it for ourselves. None of us were dressed properly for it and we hadn’t done any climbing since our glacier climb in Alaska in 2002 but we decided to sign on. It was an opportunity that would prove very rewarding and provide me with a life lesson.

Dad volunteered first and I decided to snap some pictures. If someone is going to splat, it is probably going to be the guy going first and I rather be the guy photographing the splat than the guy doing the splatting. I have to tell you, these guys were professionals. They were proficient, calm and reassuring. It takes faith to tie yourself off and jump off the side of a cliff face with people you met only 30 minutes before. The instructors took the time to teach us how to properly secure ourselves and how to properly l. My dad came down without incident and had a great time. My experience proved the same as his and I really enjoyed it. What are the chances that we pick to hike this mountain at this particular time of day and meet these four soldiers resulting in this experience? If you have read anything else I have had to say about my Abbey experiences, there is nothing to chance. I was meant to be on Crowder’s Mountain today and I will tell you why. After we were finished, we were hanging out learning about our new friends and where they were from and why they were on the mountain today. My dad made a comment to them that before he rappelled off he there was a moment (meaning a moment that maybe he couldn’t or shouldn’t go) Here is my life LESSON. Sergeant Dobson an active duty soldier calmly looked at my dad and said “the moment isn’t important. It is your ability to overcome the moment that matters.” Wow! What a statement. That quote will remain with me for the rest of my life. In that moment I realized who a soldier is. It is how they live the day. Although I only spent a little over an hour with soldiers Tyner Elgin, Neal Quinn, Christian Campbell and Adam Dobson, they have my respect and trust.

The new semester is in full swing now with spring break fast approaching. Classes have increased in difficulty as well. In the beginning of the new semester, activities on campus were a bit lax, but picked up. Due to getting accustomed to my new schedule and courses, I have been lax on keeping up-to-date with posting. I am back now with new pictures.
