There are 4 grains of Rice in the Rice “Field.” The coaches of these grains are Matt and Dana who met at Gardner-Webb University in 1991. They dated four years and have been married since 1996. Dana is the greatest wife and mother to the known world, a great cook, a lot of fun, and one smart pharmacist. The 4 grains of Rice are Andrew (Boo-Boo), Mollie (Baby, Mollie Pants), Luke (Luk-EE, Bullet), and Jake, (Jak-EE, Meatloaf). Not bad for not being able to have kids! We love family days, playing the “Gorilla Grizzly Bear,” and just plain chasing each other. I love my family! Our goal as a family is to love Jesus, glorify Jesus and tell people about Jesus……NW Cary here we COME!
