Your questions answered

All American Preppy asked "How did Sweet Abe get his name?"
WEG's family has a tradition of naming their dogs after places they live or the place where they got the puppy. We currently live on Lincoln Street in Earlewood, so he was either going to be Abe (Abe Lincoln- get it?) or Earl and we chose Abe because it seemed to fit him! And, of course, there the whole thing about a hunting dog needing a one-syllable name. Apparently it's easier to call them, or so WEG tells me.

Coastal Belle asked "Where did you grow up?"
This was in response to a question I asked her, but I'll address it here. I grew up in Elloree, SC...population 700, one stoplight. It's small, but it was a great place to grow up!

Whitney asked "How did you and WEG meet?"
We met through mutual friends. Remember my friend Bess that I congratulated on her engagement? Her fiance and WEG were roommates at Clemson.

and she also asked "What do you do for a living?"
I work for the University of South Carolina in one of the colleges. My 2 main duties are to assist in the planning of events for the college and also to manage the scholarships. I make sure they are awarded correctly and that the donors are receiving the proper thank you's from the department, students, and college.

Mrs. Buck asked "What do you and WEG do for fun on the evenings/weekends?"
Usually in the evenings we are pretty low-key. We lounge around watching tv, cook supper, occasionally play the Wii. We mostly watch sports on TV. On occasion we will go out to dinner & a few drinks with friends. The weekends are much of the same! Dinner & drinks with friends, etc. WEG is always on the go with outdoor activities like hunting, fishing, golfing, etc. on the weekends and lots of times I am working or shopping during the daytime. At night we'll go out or have friends over to cook and hang out.

The Pink Tutu asked "If you could shop in only one store for the rest of your life what would it be?"
That's a tough one! It would have to be a store that carried a little bit of everything. I think I'd have to go with Super Target. That way I could get household items, makeup, groceries, clothes, shoes, etc. I think I could survive pretty well with only shopping there!
I would have liked to have chosen Nordstrom because that would have encompassed many of the things I shop for, but the groceries would have been a problem- and a girl's gotta eat!!
Keep the questions coming- this is fun!!

  1. Fun! That's a very creative way to name a pet - I think we'll have to do that when we get our next dog.

    The town I grew up in is small like Elloree, but without a traffic light!

    Here's a question:
    What are your favorite things to do in Columbia?

  2. I'd be ok with Super Target as well as Nordstrom. Wouldn't it be nice if there were a Super Target that had high end items as well? That may kill the point of it being Target, huh?

  3. Oh I'm with you on Target!!! I practically live there...I would probably be fine with living there. I think sometimes the Target employees like me more than my family does. :)

  4. Do you really live in Earlwood?! My boyfriend lived in Cottontown for 4 years!! We've probably driven past each other at some point in time. He lives in Forest Acres now, but it's still close! I've been thinking for awhile we should do a Columbia-area meet up...maybe I will start working on that.
