CD's for Sale!

Hello again!

First off, I'm sorry this update hasn't come sooner. I know some of you have found the music on Amazon and Spotify already, which is great! But I for sure want to offer the hardcopy as an option for you all, too. 

The timing of us completing the CD, and actually receiving them is crazy, really.  For those of you who don't know, my mom just went through surgery to remove a brain tumor.  The surgery took place literally maybe a week or less after the release party for my CD.  My whole family went back home to be there for the surgery.  I am so, so grateful that we could all be there;  I can't imagine going through something like that without physically being there. 

I had also decided that I'd like to stay longer to help my mom with recovery. I never even considered the fact that she might need therapy after surgery. So basically, she wasn't even home when I was home. She was either in the hospital or at the therapy center.  She's doing so well though and I'm so, so glad that she can take this therapy.  She has some damaged nerves because of the surgery, so therapy is definitely a good thing.  But praise God for the fact that the doctor thinks he got all of the tumor! She will be going through radiation and chemo as well.  Pray for her. She is so precious and brave. I am so glad I still have my mom--that's putting it mildly.  God is still so good.

So anyways,  when I thought of staying longer in NY, I also pictured getting around to updating this blog and getting everything current...it just so did not happen. :) Even though Mom wasn't home, I was still pretty busy seeing friends, being the housewife at home, and also visiting Mom. 

All that to say, this CD is for sure available for purchase!

Exciting recording news!


GUESS WHAT! WE ARE FINISHED WITH THE CD!!

To celebrate, we are having a CD release party. The thrift store is graciously hosting this--thanks guys!  I am super excited about this evening! I will be singing all 8 of the songs on the CD.  You are all invited! You could even come sing at the open mic if you wanted to. :)

I cannot explain to you how exciting it was once everything for the order was sent off.  We set goals for ourselves that we missed, but also goals that we accomplished.  We definitely took longer to complete it than what we envisioned, but I think to be able to say that WE COMPLETED IT is for sure more important. 

I believe we started in May of 2014 and we finished in September of 2016.  Considering that I was pregnant, that we had Bryce, that we went to NYC for six weeks, and also just that we did normal life in that time span, I think we did an okay job. :) The glory goes to God though, literally.  He gave us the strength and perseverance to finish.  It's a dream come true.

Also, thank you for checking up on us and for asking how recording was going.  Thank you for supporting us in this project!

The music will be available through places like Amazon MP3, ITunes, Spotify, Google Play, etc.  And of course there will be the hardcopy CD if you'd prefer that. 

I will keep you all posted and let you know when it's available for purchase!

Have a great night!

A Thousand Words

A picture is worth a thousand words, so...














Almost one going on 16!



Haha! Grandpa pants!



These two truly were the best of buds!




I did. :)









Bryce's first trip to the zoo! He wanted this animal pretty badly.
















Ha! He wasn't sure what to think!

See? Best of buds.

Sometimes I have a love-hate thing with sand too, buddy.

These guys were also pretty tight.


Me and my beauty cousin, Marilyn.






His face the whole ride.  I'm sure he loved it deep down.

The crew! Minus Dustin.  My cousin Marilyn & her husband, Brandon, and my two brothers, Jesse & Austin!

Daddies are so much fun.

A HUGE highlight! Meeting this miracle Zoe babe for the first time!

We met with some friends from Nevada for dinner one evening! Time well spent!

Once we took lunch to Dustin on the jobsite! Bryce was amazed by the big equipment. I'm pretty sure I could've just left Bryce there with Dustin and he would've been completely content till it was time to go home. Probably. Well, probably not, but he was so intrigued!

CANNOT WAIT TO MEET MY BRAND NEW NEPHEW!



Bryce tried/licked fiber balls when he found them in the fridge the other day.

He does love his stories! Sometimes he'll be content for a whole 3-5 minutes looking at books. Yes, that is long actually. Ask any mother.

Must. Get. That. CD case. He's obsessed with CD and DVD cases.

 His almost complete outfit for Aunt KaKa's wedding!




I just need him.








 The other day my good friend, Christine and her baby girl, Kaya took us to an indoor play place for kids. Now all I want to do is go there every week.  It was magical and I just wanted to try out everything myself.



Actually, this is mostly what Bryce was entertained by. Staring at the other kids.
 




Bryce & his Kaya friend!



Playing is hard work, guys.






 His cheesecake find! Don't judge me for letting him play in the fridge. I have had to childproof it though!




I guess only the true geeks out there will know what this is and understand Dustin's excitement over it. But that's what he's been up to. :) Pretty cool if I must say so myself, and I'm not even a geek.




So that's a little of our life! I think I need to do these picture posts more often!


In other RECORDING news...!!!!! I know, I know, we didn't hit our January deadline, but that's okay, we tried. :) The editing is completely finished though! Next on the list is mixing! Andrew said that shouldn't take long, so this thing is actually getting finished!! Stay tuned!
