Well tonight was the first practice of my soccer team.  I am the "head coach" of my daughter's 3 year old soccer team.  It was trully organized chaos and more importantly it was a blast.  We worked on passing and shooting.  Most of the time we talked about expectations and what to expect.  Our first game is this Saturday morning in Lexington.I have a great group of kids and parents.  If you want to take in a game and enjoy some fellowship send me an email at MikeCoppney@remax.net and I will send you directions.  Our goal is to have fun on Saturday.  So stay tuned...   04/10/2008

On January 5th of this year I gave birth to our second baby boy, Jacob Ryan Buol. He is a beautiful, sweet healthy baby and we are so proud of him. However, I was not fully prepared for how drastically things would change going from one child to two. Just running to the store has become ten times harder! When Bailey was a baby and still in his baby car seat I could still go grocery shopping. Now, Bailey sits in the front and the car seat takes up the whole basket! So unless I am only going for a few things there is no point. At first, my mother-in-law was not comfortable taking both boys at the same time. She has her own son (he is 24 but has a severe form of autism) and it was like taking care of three children all at once. So, I started taking Jacob to work with me. He sits in classes... 03/19/2008

The Lexington Town Council approved an ordinance that would effectively ban registered sex offenders from moving to Lexington.The council made its decision after a favorable opinion from the state attorney general. The ordinance would also prevent sex offenders from living or loitering within 2,000 feet of schools, churches, parks, playgrounds and other sites where children might gather. State Attorney General Henry McMaster says the rule would likely stand up if challenged in court. Click Here for more video about this story. 01/08/2008

I enjoy living in a small town where everyone waves at you when you pass by (yes, an actual wave not the one fingered salute!), where people will let you pull out in front of them into traffic (EVERYTIME), and where you have multiple ways of knowing you business neighbor. No, I'm not describing Mayberry - but it's close! I'm describing Lexington, SC where sweet tea is the preferred belly washer at most restaraunts and smiling faces greet you on every corner. One of our biggest attractions is Lake Murray. Here is some history behind our beautiful lake:  Lake Murray, named in honor of chief engineer William S. Murray, was completed in 1930 and is owned by SCE&G. It covers approximately 78 square miles of land and provides electricity for South Carolina's entire Midlands region. Originally... 12/27/2006
