Another day, another city, same show.


Hey guys!  

So it's ben a few days once again since I've sat down to write.  The days are flying by and I can hardly believe that something I've looked forward to every second of every day practically since August when I found out I was going for sure is already halfway over.  

We've had a good run other than Ronnie catching a cold on our day off a few days ago.  He's sniffly, but thanks to some heavy drugs and some quality time in "the cave" (his name for the bus) he's feeling much much better.

Jen and I are loving being on tour, as evidenced by the accompanying photo.  Our recent obsession is the Twilight book series....she's working on number two and I finished the first one last night, and am forced to admit, although slightly ashamedly, that I might have a ginormous crush on Edward Cullen like the majority of teenage girls across the country.  I'm thinking I might have to break down and buy the second one today since Jen isn't done with her copy....and I'm depressed at the thought of going a whole day or two without Bella and her clan of  bloodthirsty vampire friends.  Ronnie just called for a runner to the mall, and while I am resolved not to spend money on this tour, I'm thinking I'm going to have to make a small exception.  

The shows are going well.....I'll admit that the first few were more like dress rehearsals than shows, but now I feel like I'm part of a well-oiled machine that knows when to go where, what to play when, and has even kicked her music book to the curb, and for the most part is singing her BGV parts by memory.  No small feat.  :)

The highlight of the week by far was the Lexington show where my friends Jill and McKenzie, along with the Burandt parents came to hear us (even bearing chocolates!).  There's just nothing like being with people who have seen you at your best, and worst, and love you anyway.  
Well....It's about time for me to get my stuff off the bus and go find the dressing room.  
Many blessings....

I love your tour updates. I finished Twilight the night before the movie came out and am still waiting for the library to get in book 2. I may have to splurge!
