hope it was a good one for you guyses. I had LOADS of fun. We saw the parade in the morning, we saw some friends of ours in that parade. Then last night we had a HUGE like everyone was there! We mainly just hung out until people arrived. Me and my friend where setting up stuff and testing his go cart. Then once some people arrived we had food! Lot's and lots of it! Then we sang some hymns and prayed before going about our evening.
We played a bit of catch with our football, then it really started... Volleyball! Yes it seems to be the church sport currently. That was great it was boys vs. girls, then teens vs. adults (we had won in the past but not this time unfortunately). Then the neighbors to the right of us started shooting fireworks before it was even dark. So me and my friend got our potato cannons out and started firing... at them! (Just kidding) though we were tempted. :) We attached glow-sticks to the potato's so we could see them through the sky.
After we were out of "Ammo" we tried to ride the go-cart but the throttle wire had broken off so that never happened. Then we all went home to our late night/party neighbors to try and sleep.
There you have it my fourth/4th of July weekend. I don't have any pictures but I'm sure there will be plenty other posts about that awesome night!
Thanks for reading.

Summer killed may flowers!
Well it's finally here summer, hot Texas weather... horrible I'm a winter person so this isn't totally amazing for me. I've been a procrastinator recently so I'm relly behind in some area's.
So I needed to tell you all I got my long awaited driver's license! Yay! So I was a bit mad at first cause I thought we had to make an appointment before we went, and that wouldn't work that day. I later found out I didn't need too thank the Lord! So we got all the paper work, eye test, etc. Then we took the test I was nervous at first but once we got going I got over it.
So once we returned there was an ambulance which is bad news if I'm trying to get my license. :) Some lady apparently fell and broke her hip or something and they had to take her to the ER crazy stuff that day.
That night we went to this concert thing and had our first Friday evangelism which was good a lot of people got to hear the gospel. We ate at Fuzzy's taco shop/emporium/place. Which is really good actually (recommend the craw fish tacos).
and I drove Emily and myself home. :)
Our cousin just graduated like Tuesday night. We drove to TCU to see him actually graduate. We saw several people we knew there and talked a little to our friends. Me and my uncle yelled REALLY loud for him and for the last kid (because he was the last out of like 600 kids!). Then we ate at Mcd's for late night supper.
It was a fairly good week I must say. Now it's time to get back to trying to write lyrics and music for the band. See you later.

Memorial Day!
Hope you had a good one. We did, I'll get back to that.
Well last week I believe it was, a lot of my friend's went out of town (some out of state). So It's been kinda boring. Well I did get to have my friend over for the weekend and we came up with a new song just jamming out. I also got this!
A bit pricey but I can plug 2 mics into it as well as some electric guitars if I wanted. So that was fun, guitar center always is.
We also went over to our friend's The Runkles' house Saturday night to hang out. We watched chicken little (old school right?) and played around with their dog. Then Sunday we went to go eat with some more friends, and then Monday (A.K.A. Memorial Day) we helped our friend's the Finley's build a fence. So that pretty much sums my week/weeks. Oh and I'm nearly finished with my potato gun I've been working on. Pray for me this up coming weekend, I'm supposed to go to the DPS and try out for my license (Bo-Ya!). Thanks for reading hope all you traveling peeps have a good time.

"Up a 30 foot corridor 3 men climb..."
I want all my readers to comment telling me what they think (or absolutely know)what the title means. :)
So I meant to post earlier in the week but I got busy, I apologize.
So my best friend since forever came down for the weekend (A.K.A. Joel leader in our band). we got together and have at least 2 completed songs, yes, lyrics and all so that's encouraging. So hopefully we'll have that blog up soon.
Oh I hope you guys had a good Mother's day and to all my second families Happy late Mother's day! So I got this book called "Home Recording Studio for dummies" it's a really good book and hopefully it will help with our recording process.
That's about it a short update, have a good weekend! I'm going to go watch Flashpoint now. :)

Patrick My Man...
How are you all doing? Well I hope the answer is "good". Not a whole lot has happened until recently. Friday night was Awesome! I got to see one of my absolute favorite bands perform live! NEEDTOBREATHE they put on one of THE best shows I've been too. I didn't get to meet them because it was a Six Flags festival thing. It was still totally rad! I wasn't able to bring a super great camera (ipod camera) but I got a few photos. Here are my favorite:
I got Joe smiling. :)
My natural "lense flare" of the night.
I also had some of The David Crowder Band but they were too blurry. They were great too. Oh after everything was over we saw Patrick (Need's crew member) over by the merch booth. So Sara and Sara thought it would be funny if I went over and asked him for a shirt... so I did. :) I walk up, pat him on the back and say "Patrick my man got any shirts for me?" he said "what kind of shirts do you need?" I said need shirts (confused) "NEED... Shirts?" then I said Needtobreathe shirts and he said "all I got are girls sizes left" I was bummed but said "Congratulations on the sales" and then told him thanks and walked off with a huge grin. It was fun and I hope he doesn't think I'm weird or something.
That night Sara got lost trying to meet mom and we drove a couple miles past the meeting spot. It was a fun night. I din't get home till about 1 or 2 that night.
I also thank Sara's friend Venus I believe for the ticket she was kind to give me for free. So there was my Good Friday fun.
Easter went good. We had some friends from out of town come, and we went to our great grandmother's house for Easter lunch/dinner. Today was my next to youngest brother's (Colton) birthday. He's having some friends over and such, a great time.
Tomorrow is my last test and last class of catechism so that will be a release of stress. It was fun I think we're throwing a party or something.
Thanks for reading guys. Have a good evening or day or whatever it is when you read this.

I'm horribly late
April Fools day, Happy birthday! Yeah It's been to long into the year.
So I didn't really have an April Fools day prank, apart from waking all my siblings by popping a balloon in the hall. It was also my moms b-day that day. We went out to eat with our grandparents and that was nice.
On Friday the 8th we went over to our awesome friend's the Collinsss house for a birthday party. Their youngest child/brother Jim had his 12th birthday. We had some friends from out of town come and we had a really fun time.
So our band stuff has slowed down a bit, we're trying to figure out what we're going to do in the summer. Things like who's house, for how long, what are we going to do, etc. We're trying to get some equipment for recording, and some software, and some know-how, on the whole thing we're still short some lyrics and some instruments. We also just lost our 2nd bass player and our keyboardist, so we have one bass player now and we'll come up with some piano stuff. Oh and incase y'all haven't heard me and my friend Joel might be singers for the band, which I'm terrified cause I have no idea how we'll sound let alone me. We're still looking for a singer, but if we can't find one before summer we'll be doing it.
So speaking of losing band members, Remedy Drive one of the best bands ever has lost three members, only the lead singer Dave has stayed. They have a new guitarist, bassist, and drummer I believe, and are still a band just not the same guys... It's very disappointing but they had good reason to leave, to be with family. I will continue to be a HUGE fan of a still awesome band.
There's my post into the middle of April, guess I was still getting used to it. :)
Thanks for reading.

P.S. My family is considering adopting, so please pray for God's wisdom in this process.

The heat, feel it?
Yes for you NEEDTOBREATHE fans out there that IS a reference. :)
So it's nearing the end of spring break I enjoyed it. I got to go to a friend's house for almost the whole week, our drummer's house. That was fun we got alot of practice in, much needed practice I must say. Oh and our bassist came over and we played all together. Everything is coming together slowly.
I went to speedzone (go-cart track)Wednesday night so I feel like a pagan for missing church over that. All in all it was a fun time.
So the blog needs one more thing and we'll let you guys see it. Thanks for being patient.
We're practicing a ton of covers together and want to play at a church after the message. Just kind of play covers and get used to playing on-stage. That's more in the summer though.
That's pretty much it, besides our church progress. We changed it completely! Check out my friend Hannah's blog for pictures of it here
Thanks for reading, I'll try to post more often.
