fall is here

I love this time of year... I love wearing jackets, long pants, beanies, turning the heat on in your car first thing in the morning to take the edge off the chill in the air. There's nothing quite like the month of October... baseball playoffs, football season, my birthday, halloween, the leaves... it's the best month there is... hands down.
I hit the road again sunday for about a week or so... we'll be in Colorado and Louisiana. Not too close to each other.... will surely make for some long days in the good ol' van.
The holidays are just around the corner as well.... I am already feeling the pressure of family issues coming down on me as they approach. It's going to be interesting juggling thanksgiving and christmas around my mom and my dad especially with the dynamics of andrea and the boys needing to try to juggle their families as well. Nothing will be the same and that's hard to come to grips with. I've always valued my family being together on the holidays... and I'll never get that back...
At least it's October... for another week anyway.... that makes me happy...
that and my previous post. (:

drum roll...

I know you are all anxiously awaiting the details of this new development in my life... without further adou.. let me introduce to you my girlfriend.. Jennifer...
she's the best. (:


If you're lucky you may get to meet her someday... I'm sure glad I did...

home for a week...

it's been a good week... I have been home from tour for seven days.
A lot has happened... two of my best friends got married (Nate and Holly)... I was able to re-connect with a lot of people I hadn't seen in a while and had a great time at the rehearsal dinner as well as the wedding and reception....
I have also just been able to spend a lot of time with close friends and family... which is always good.
I didn't realize how much I have missed being at a church, being a part of corporate worship and being fed by some good preaching... I really enjoyed that today... so much in fact that I went to Lakeshore Community Church this morning and Mars Hill this evening...
There is also another new development in the 'relationship' area of my life which most of you who are close to me know already, but more details to come with that in the near future.... (:
