Time and effort

Having a good day? I hope soo.
I was meaning to post this news earlier but I've been busy.

So last Sunday I talked with a man from our church about working for him.
So the next day (Monday) I started my first job. Surveying. I never expected this to be my first job, or at this age. But it is what it is. It's pretty nice, I learn alot of skills, and he's a very Godly man. So it's encouraging in the workplace.
It feels really weird waking up early... getting my lunch for the day, and going to work and comming home tired and such. And the fact that I'm driving (perment anyway). Feels like time is flying by...

Well it's a good job and it's not TOTALLY overwhelming. I'm only working 2-3 times a week, and he let's me drive the truck every once in a while, which is pretty cool.
I'm making pretty good pay to go with it. And might get a raise after 30 or so days.

So enough about me...

I talked with my friend Joel who is the main dude in our band, and he gave me some music writing tips, which seem pretty good. He also has like 2 songs that we might use for the EP. We're practicing every time we get the chance, and I'm really excited about how it's turning out.

Speaking of bands... I have a friend who is in a band! Pretty crazy so with all these bands it's pretty awsome. I'm happey for them and hope they can get really far.
So we'll see where we get, hopefully somewhere. And maybe once our band puts out an album we can get some more fans. But the ones we have right now are awsome.

That's it for me. Thanks for reading what's up.

Visits

Howdy, it's been awhile but nothing has been happening a whole lot.

So we went to visit some really good friends of our family. they had a couple people over to swim in their pool (which they recently finished setting up)and it was really fun. We ate food and looked through maps and found some funny city and street names. I now want to go visit Converse city in Texas Ha ha!
After all that we played a game I've never played before called "pussy in the corner" or atleast something like that. You get enough chairs for everyone but one person and they have to say "pussy wants a corner and everyone leaves their chair and runs to a different one and the person left out has to say it next.
Anywho I had a real good time.

We also went to the Fort Worth Museum. We saw the planetarium and watched Under the Deep Sea in the Imax/Omni theater which was totally rad! We didn't get to see alot of the exibits because we didn't have enough time to go to them all before the movies started. But was still a good time.

And our Aunt Valerie who lives in California is visiting with us Sunday. So it's a time of visiting.

Also Joel got a story published in a magazine called Teen ink
it's a magazine written by teens. So we're psyched about that.

In other news.
Peter's doing good he's still in the hospital andstill has the Trach in him but after they get him off that he'll be able to go home so keep praying it's really helped him and his family and they're being great examples of christ.

One more thing. Yesterday our friend's mom had a stroke and is in the hospital right now. She's doing pretty good. We visited them this morning. She said she was going to be released today but she got sick from some testing. So please be in prayer for her.

Thanks for reading. See ya.

That Update I Mentioned.

Hello all, heres the update.

As you know we've been working on alot of stuff for our band. So I would like to post a guitar part in our second song.



"These Hard Times" that's what I came up with so far but it might change. I wrote this song around the time Peter was in his accident so I would like to dedicate this song to him. (The tanbee is because the converter program I found is just a trial).

Even though there's no lyrics. When we have lyrics they should be based on that title. I've been trying to come up with some lyrics for this song but I've never done it before so bare with me. Our drummer David should be comming down this weekend or so to do some practice and hang out. I'll try to get all the parts in and make a slide show or something if I can.

One more thing... our band is trying to get some recording equipment (as I stated in the last post... I think), so we will hopefully have our equipment, a meeting place and time, atleast 5 songs, our songs learned, and our album art work finished by next summer. But I'll try to give you video's here and there of what we have.

Thanks for reading (and watching). Please comment and tell me what Y'all think so far.

Update before another update.

Okay so I'll have another update hopefullt this weekend, so here's a short one for now.

Peter is doing much better. He will be going home Monday I believe. Me and my mom will be going to his house to help with taking care of him. I'll also be staying overnight with him to help turn him over every hour. So pray that he would progress through that.
He's "technically" out of a coma but is not totally awake yet... it's like this.
on a 0 to 15 scale most people are at 15. 8 and lower is in a coma and 0 is completey comatose. so Pete is somewhere around 9 I would guess. He's also breathing much stronger now, and will hopefully be breathing on his own by Monday.
Praise God that he made it through all of this, and that he'll get to go home.
Please continue to be in prayer for Pete he's a trooper.

We've (our band) have had alot of disscusion, and we're trying to get recording equipment and stuff ready for when we get our final songs "perfected" and ready to roll. We still need about 1 or 2 songs before we're ready, and some lyrics for ALL of our songs, since no one sings we haven't been focusing to much on that.
So we plan to have 5 songs recorded with included lyrics and an EP with actual album art with it, (which we have a basic Idea for) by next summer.

My Dad has been going back to work now and is expected to go to the docter and have a check up next week.

So that's my "Update before an update" for Y'all, until another time see ya.
