The Holidays

So I can't believe the year is almost over. It's been a great one alot has happened.
I know it's been awhile but y'all are used to it (I try not to make it a habit).

So I'm not sure where to start... if you don't know already our church had a christmas program and lot's of people performed, including me and my friend Nathan. He's been taking lessons and I suggested we perform. So we learned enough songs for a "medley" if you want to call it that. We were really nervous which showed in our playing. We had to start 2 of 5 of our songs over again. But all in all it was fun and we'll do it again... in a million years! Not really maybe another time.

Our band stuff has kind of slowed down because of the stuff going on. My dad recently bought photoshop elements (basic version) and the video editing software by the same people, so were hoping to use that to give a "Professional" look to our album art. We have that I need to show you guys a concept drawing to give an idea. But who knows when that will happen.
I have actually come up with some lyrics if I haven't already stated. For a song I wrote for our EP. All I can say is its a work in progress remember, I don't write music often... at all really. So it's still new to me.
A bass player is becoming more a concern for us right now as well as a lead singer, were hoping I wont have to on the account of my terrible voice. So maybe Joel will do it, who knows maybe we'll find someone. anywho.

Wow I really need to fix our band blog. I get to that soon I hope.

Okay on to how my christmas went. On christmas eve we went to our grandparents house to open some presents from them, and dad read Luke to us. After we ate and all, our aunt and uncle called from California to say merry christmas. They're always really funny. So we got to hear my aunt's reaction to a gift from my uncle which was really hilarious, and also the same with my uncle. It's like they were there. We all miss them and it was great to talk to them from phone.
So from there we went to our church christmas eve service, which was good as always.
We didn't get to do our tradition of riding around looking at christmas lights drinking hot chocolate or coffe. Because they closed to early. But we went home and watched the nativity story and went to bed. Next morning (this sounds like a story, sorry). Okay we got up ate, and opened presents. We went to our other uncle's house to celebrate with my mom's side of the family. So get this...
We got there and my grandad needed to go back to his house to get some chips. So mom suggested I drive (jokingly) So I did. Grandad was nervous and gave me tips for the road. It was fun he has a nice ford fusion. Which is now wrecked...
just kidding. Making sure y'all are awake from my boring story thing.

So it was a good time. But remember the main reason we celebrate, because of the birth of Jesus Christ. Note CHRISTmas.

So hope you guys have a good rest of the year.

  1. It's getting to the point where I think there are no such things as bass players anymore, haha! You drove your grandfather?! He didn't have a heart attack, did he? :)
