| April started off right when we went to the “Extraordinary Women’s Conference” in NC. We had our spiritual batteries recharged … we sang, we laughed, we cried … ok I cried a lot! We heard Michael O’Brien and Kathy Tricolli sing, and got to hear great speakers including Candace Cameron (DJ Tanner from Full House). It was very uplifting and a lot of fun just to be there even if it only lasted a day. The next weekend was jam-packed with music … I had the Easter Experience at my church Thursday, Friday, and three services on Sunday; we went to see our friends “Good Old War” on Friday night where we danced and sang along with all of their songs, then stayed up late to jam with Jason and write a new song; Saturday we played at Chick-Fil-A for two hours (thanks to everyone who came out … we appreciate your support so much) … Michael Lee was there holding everything together for us: selling CDs and being all around awesome (I think I use this word to describe him in every blog I write … but it is simply a fact) we started outside … but then the rains came and we were forced inside (which I was secretly ok with), after that I had another gig with the band I’m in and Laura spent some time with her family. Easter was very exhausting but well worth it … I could feel the love of Jesus everywhere I went. April has brought several new changes in our lives. Not only are we writing more songs and adding new levels of creativity and musicianship to the group … but our personal lives are getting busy as well! Laura moved apartments this past week, which called for a hiatus in music … but I think we needed a little break so its ok … she is happier with her life being more simplified and organized. My personal life is revamping with the addition of a Godly man to call my own … the feeling of being in a real Christian adult relationship is amazing! With all the music that we do separately, we haven’t been able to book many gigs in the upcoming weeks. We will be recording in a couple weeks though … and we are still writing like crazy. Please keep us in your prayers as we try to raise money for more recording, write new music, pray about other people helping us out … and pray that our music touches someone’s life, because that is the reason we are doing this! Ya’ll have a great day, and God bless each of you! -Melissa
