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.

Band news and other stuff.

Okay so it's been years since my last post but not much has happend.

So our band had a 3 way call i called David Joel called me and we just happend to all be on the phone with each other. So David found this cool software called MixCraft5 it's only a trail but I'm looking into changing that.
So we have the drums and such for our first song all we need is a name for the song and some lyrics (incase we get a lead singer). Our second song is doing good too we got drums and guitar for that, I'll send it to Joel our lead guitarist and band leader, and hopefully he'll come up with something else for that.
We're working on another song and don't have hardly anything for that.
I'll try and get some Audio/video or something up for Y'all.

In ither noose I will hopefully be going to a Tenth Avenue North concert in September 24 it should be. I can't wait it will be my first concert this year if I can go.

My friend went to go see Switchfoot and Green River Ordinance (GRO) and said they were awsome! I'm quite jealous right now.
I'm starting school full force next week.

Happy trails and thanks for reading.

Friday The 13th B-day.

Good day bloggers and readers.

As you know we had our air conditioner go out, and we were "chilling" at our grandparents house. Brad (air conditioner dude) came by Saturday and totatlly redid our system, and by that night it was cool enough to sleep in.

I was at a friend's house for his birthday. Our drummer's infact.
We went to the parks mall and went Ice Skating! I'd never EVER done it before so it was a WHOLE new experience for me.
It wasn't too bad balance-wise because I used to skate, and did some skiing. So it was kinda like that. My ankles were turned to the inside the whole time and I got these crazy looking blisters. But by the time we were done I was as fast as my friend and could do a little "jumping" (more like hopping).

After taht we went around the mall, I bought an Anberlin cd and have been listening to that latley.
I also had forgotten I had to clean the church. I got it done though around 4-ish.

We went to the Hughes to hang out that night and my dad hurt his ankle playing basketball.
All these injuries... not fun. So my dad has just been hanging out at home.
He went to the doctor today to check on it and it is fractured in 2 places. And if he is too rough on it, it might break. So please pray for healing.

I haven't heard anything on Pete yet but please continue to pray, we all miss him and his parents especially.

Thanks for reading.

The Good, The Bad.

Well it's been forever now since my last post. Our air conditioner totally died on us and our house is EXTREMELY hot! The other day we went inside and upstairs it was 99 degrees!
We're currently staying at our grandparents house. And get this! the air conditioner dude went to the same church my parents went to when they were younger, and he knows my grandparents neighbor. "Small world" he said. His name is Brad... (I don't know his last name) but it's cool. he'll come over Saturday to work on our system. We're getting it totally re-done, it should make it last alot longer this time we hope.

Our band's drummer came over Friday, and we worked on our next song. it took alot of recording because none of us have any special equipment or anything to record with. So we still need some of that, which I'm still trying to figure out if i can get a mic or something. But our song is coming along pretty well I'd say.We just need some extra stuff done to it and it should be ready.

We're (our band) is also thinking about making a blog or something to post our videos, audio, etc. and I'll let Y'all know when we do.

Also please be praying for our drummer's, sister's boyfriend. He's in the army and is in the hospital after having his spleen I believe ruptured from some training.

Continue praying for Pete he got a buzz cut now after taking the tube out of his head. He's doing VERY well, he still has a tracheostomy tube in his neck and might still have some pneumonia in his lungs. So please keep praying God will work his ultimate will and glory through this and we're seeing it done in Peter's life.
His birthday was yesterday as well and his parents say that having Peter's life spared and all of these prayers are a blessing.
His brother is also giving him some physical therapy and says he's much more flexible than a few days ago.

I'm doing good in driving, my mom freaks from time to time but she says I'm doing better. I'm getting more worried hearing about this accident and others. It's a good wake up call for me and any other new drivers.

My next to youngest brother's hamster died from a heat stroke (we think) from being in our "hot house" we buried him in our garden Tuesday.

So that's about it for now, I don't have any pictures or anything because I'm using my grandparents computer.

Thanks for baring with me. See ya.
