There are a thousand thoughts that have crossed my mind since my last post…and I would love to just ramble on about those thoughts, but I am just completely blinded right now- blinded by the inevitability that I am going home in just 9 days. I have these unquenchable cravings just to do such normal things…things like go to church, turn on my stereo and listen (without headphones!), play my guitar, and just spend time with my family. I don’t understand why there was such a switch that went off in this last leg of touring… I can hypothesize that it was the work schedule, the lack of a true boss, or just not “jiving” with the cast but I can’t help but wonder if there’s something more. Jen and I had every intention of coming back in September at the beginning, but now I don’t think there’s anything that could make us come back (except maybe an obscene raise, and I mean OBSCENE!). So here we are at this Y in the road and it’s time to take a new path. It’s a little scary, I will admit it but I welcome the change and will trust in whatever God has for us.
With all of that said, Jen and I have been on a little bit of a spending binge lately. With the tour schedule being so heavy we literally haven’t had the time to spend the money that we’ve made. Of course with any purchase on tour, if it can’t fit in your suitcase it’s pretty much worthless…so that limits your options severely. Now that we’re going home we’re thinking of all these things that we want for the house. For me it’s primarily sound stuff…I started my home theater system 2 years ago and have been anxiously awaiting the completion of it ever since. so, I have a subwoofer and rear speakers on the way. The sound is going to be awesome! so you should come by and check it out sometime (unless you’re burglar). Jen has been looking more for the more vital parts of the home…like seating. We bought a chair so we can now officially have someone over and not be forced to sit on the floor. We haven’t made a lot of decisions beyond that, but there’s probably a bookcase, bed frame/headboard, and curtains in the not so distant future. All just parts of growing up and settling down I guess.
Which reminds me, May 8th will be our 2nd anniversary. Hard to believe that we’ve already spent 2 years of life married to each other. It’s been a great 2 years and I know that the best is yet to come. We’ve spent nearly every hour of every day together for 2 whole years…incredible!
Alright, the album I’m listening to is winding down (Shawn McDonald - Ripen), so I believe this is my cue…I’ll leave you with this quote I read on Shawn’s site:
“Opportunity may knock only once but temptation leans on the doorbell.”
