Adjusting

Hello there friends, family, and "framily" (friends who are basically family)!

As you may or may not know, Josh and I have recently moved from Nebraska to Pennsylvania where Josh is now a recruiter for the Air Force. We have become more comfortable but still find ourselves missing Nebraska, our friends there, and our church. But it has been wonderful to live close to family and we even bought a house with my cousin Liz and her husband Drew! We always said as kids that only seeing eachother every couple of years was not enough and someday we were going to just get a house together. And what do you know! Here we are! We have been renovating like crazy but took a short summer hiatus since we do not have AC in our 100 year old home. It's a little difficult to work in 90 degrees and wicked humidity!

A couple weeks ago Josh and I celebrated our 4 year wedding anniversary! I have to say it was the best yet. We exchanged cards and went out to eat at a swanky Japanese restaurant, where neither of us knew what to order. The word "chicken" stuck out to me on the menu, so I went with that. Whereas Josh decided to get the "Chef's Special" because....well... it sounded special. Little did he know that the "Chef's Special" was a raw mahi tuna steak and 4 rolls of raw sushi. He was determined to eat it for the experience, and later... well let's just say we both regretted it. But it was a memory made at least. It was wonderful to spend the evening talking about one of my favorite subjects - "our feelings" ... and also our favorite memories from the past 4 years we've spent together.

So what else is new? ... I've been writing more songs lately. I have to say it has been a real blessing for me to be able to work with Josh at his office during the week and also be able to stay at home and write whenever I want. I do have a goal to have a new album or demos recorded by the end of the year but that time is fastly approaching! It seemed so "doable" when I made the goal this past January!

We're looking forward to leaving for a family cruise to Baha Mexico a week from this Saturday, in celebration of my mom's 50th birthday! I will post pictures from the cruise after we get back... also I am turning 22 on the 6th of September. So I am enjoying my last couple weeks as a 21-year-old.

I think for now that is all the updates I have... much love ♥
