| so it's pretty bad when you go to post a blog and you have forgotten how the site works. I guess it's more that I haven't been on xanga in so long that the site has changed so much it has become foreign. anyway, I digress. I could post about how bad I am for not blogging more, but I don't apologize for having a life away from my blog. Maybe I do need to include my blog in my life a little more.
Right now I am on tour in Dallas with my church's youth choir. We have sung various places and I am on the road as the media professional. I have a crew of adults and a student filming to put together a video that will play in the background when we sing Sunday morning in the service. I am excited about this service because I have some cool lighting ideas that will be different but add a little color to the stage.
I think this is the first trip I have taken and not brought a guitar. I kinda miss having it on tour, but I guess as a counselor I can't spend all my time playing guitar.
well, I guess I will post again later.

| ah xanga! Well, more time has gone by than I realized since my last blog and for that I apologize. This past week has been somewhat of a wakeup call for me. I started the week REALLY kinda down and stressed. Twyla’s car was the victim of a "hit and run" last Friday and now has a softball size gash out of her rear bumper, and I didn’t think last Sunday went as stellar as I wanted it to be. Although it wasn’t horrible I just feel it wasn’t my best and that I didn’t have my A game going on. I have also been stressed about the house buying situation. We bit off a HUGE chunk, knowingly stretching ourselves a little, not stretching so far that we couldn’t make it; but stretching ourselves nonetheless. Homeowing in itself is HUGE. BUT ALL THAT SAID God is providing. Twyla had an interview today with another bank that starts their tellers with much more in pay and has a more promising pay scale. Hallelujah! AND it’s in a much better part of town AND closer to school for Twyla! We pray that she gets it! Work on Wednesday was stellar. I had a rehearsal for Easter (we brought in principal symphony members to fill out our string section) and it was AMAZING. I actually got to enjoy mixing for a change. I like when the orchestra and choir are both spot on, it makes things much easier on me to blend and get a good mix. I left that night rejuvenated when at the beginning of the week I just wanted a vacation. Anyway, I need to get to bed even though tomorrow is my Saturday. -end of transcription- | | |

| Ah Xanga!
I have some down time right now. I am working a conference for the JACUS Association which stands for Jackson Are Children Under Six. The keynote is a speech pathologist, and very passionate about her job. I really enjoyed her talk about how we form speech and learn to speak an interact. Funny enough, it is NOT in front of a TV. We do our developing by interacting with each other and speaking TO children and not AT them. I don't know, I came away from the talk feeling like I gained some knowlege. Maybe I needed to some focus on something not in my field, or I feel a energized that I was able to help her communicate her message by doing my job. I don't know which it is, either way I really enjoyed her talk. I enjoyed the opportunity to learn about her field.
Anyway, I better get back we have the closing session in a little while.

| ah xanga,
It's been a long time. I thought I would come and post something before I forgot my username and password.
Life is going pretty well. Work is going well; Christmas season is over (hallelujah). The season was enjoyable, but I had several nights of working till 3 and 5am trying to get everything perfect. I guess I am kinda weird in that with ADD I can also be a perfectionist, I don't know. Can you have OCD and ADD? They seem to contradict each other.
Life at home is about to get crazy. Twyla is going to grad school. She starts a week from tomorrow and takes the GRE this weekend. I am going to help her study tonight. I think I have devised a way to do it; but I will have to run it by her before it gets done. I don't want to be in the way of her progress.
We found a water leak in our apartment, possibly a pipe or water from upstairs. It is probable that the complex will have the evict us to totally fix the problem, and we don't want the water to turn into mold on the wall (we're both highly allergic); so we have done some digging and searching and found out that a house payment would not be much more than the rent we are paying now, so it looks as if a house is the right option. We will have to see what financial things God provides in the next few months. It is also a buys market last year for the Jackson area. There has been A LOT of building and not a lot of buying, so housing is probably as cheap as it is going to be for this area.
Anyway, that is a pretty good update for now. I will write more when I am afraid of losing my username and password again.
