New Guitar




Hey guys! Here's a factory picture of my new guitar, a beautiful Crafter acoustic electric (TC035N for those of you that want to dig into the details of the guitar on the site). Because they helped us out so much this past week, I want to give a shout out to Johnny Paul's Music Shop, which is where Naunie purchased the guitar for my birthday.
How has Johnny Paul's helped this week? Well, this was Rock Camp week, and Johnny Paul's gave several very generous donations including our three grand prizes for the week: an Austin electric guitar, Sonar Home Studio Software, and a Roll Up Piano. All told, they donated over $1,200 worth of merchandise for the first FBC Aledo Rock Camp. Overall, it was a great success. We had 28 junior and senior high students participate, creating 8 bands that performed two songs each last night, ranging from "Smoke On The Water" and "Sweet Home Alabama," to "Meant To Live" and "We Are One Tonight." I think that they all had a grand time (yep, I said grand - I'm in my thirties...I'm allowed).
Next up - the birthday of my lovely wife! Naunie turns "Twenty-eleven" tomorrow. Monday and Tuesday I'm at Boys and Girls Town Training for Arlington ISD, and then I leave Tuesday afternoon to go to the National Worship Leaders Conference in Austin. So yeah, I'm still kinda busy. I do get a week "off" after that though, and I'll spend several days at my school and at the music store.

Busy-ness

Hey all,

Sorry it's been a couple weeks - haven't had much new to share. Naunie's working hard on her school work and paper writing --only two more weeks! This week began Adventure Week (VBS) at church, so I'm up there everyday. Next week is Rock Camp at church, so I will be very busy up there again. And then I will spend half the following week at Boys Town Training for Arlington ISD (Naunie's assured me that it will be the highlight of my summer...riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight) and then join Mike in Austin for the National Worship Leader's Conference. So as you can see, the next few weeks are going to be quite busy.

Naunie is going in on Thursday to cut her hair! She's been growing it since before our wedding, first so that she could do something with it ON our wedding day, and then afterword, she and Jeneille decided to let their hair grow for Locks of Love. She will be taking before and after pictures, so I'll try to post those up here when I get them from her.

First week in August, we go to Omaha! ROAD TRIP!!!

Okay, that's all for now. Stay tuned next time when I'll share with you the exciting world of drying paint...or maybe something more fun...
