Well, we're sure learning what it's like on the road. We have the benefit of staying with family in NY and PA which is a great help. Thanks guys!! Although, sometimes it gets a little stressful. It's the first time I've been out of TN since we moved there in April of 2005. It's fun. I'm getting used to driving so much and it's really cool meeting so many new people. So far our expectations were a little bit different than what we expected in terms of CD sales and love offerings, but it just gives us something more to shoot for in the future.

So far we played at Samantha's Lil Bit of Heaven in NY, then we made our way to PA to sing at the Trail Church in New Freedom and the next morning we sang at two services at Strasburg AOG. The kids are really learning how to behave through all this! And we're learning all kinds of little things that have to do with touring like, how to survive on four hours of sleep, remember to get your brakes checked BEFORE you leave your home town and, after a concert is usually a great time to network.

Well, right now it's about 10:40 pm and I'm at my in-laws house in PA. In a couple of days we're headed back to NY to sing at Redeeming Grace and then we're going home to TN. I'm really starting to love this lifestyle. I'm tired... I miss being home... but the experience is well worth it! I don't want to get caught up in the compliments and success that we might encounter on the road, because when it comes down to it, we're doing this to glorify God, not ourselves.
