Who is this "Melvin" anyway?!

Now that the blog is semi-public, I've gotten a good many questions about the name.  Here's the history of Melvin.....

Barrett and I were in Charleston for a wedding weekend in December of maybe 2009 or 2010.  We had a "large" Friday night at the rehearsal party and decided we needed something good and greasy on Saturday for lunch to prepare for another fun night ahead at the wedding.  We settled on Melvin's BBQ on James Island. 

Somehow from that, Barrett started calling me Melvin and it stuck.  5 years later, I'm still Melvin to him.  :)  A lot of times when we're heading somewhere for a weekend or even just doing something fun in town, Barrett has mentioned doing another fun "Melvin Adventure".  Now that we have Champs, I'm not called Melvin quite as much b/c we have oh maybe 2000 names for him that we're constantly calling him.  But none the less, we're still going on A LOT of Melvin Adventures with the monkey in tow! 

There you go, folks - the story of Melvin.
