Apparently You Do Read

I have been bombarded with concerns/complaints/requests wondering why it's been 7 MONTHS since my last blog entry.  Well, I'll tell you.  Mars is a very cold place.  And it's far away.  

Yep.  That's the best reason I have.  Well that, and the fact that I was locked out.  Hopefully I've got that issue resolved.  

So school is just around the corner.  It's been an incredibly busy summer.  Naunie has been taking two classes for her Masters in addition to teaching summer school.  We went to New York (hopefully the link works) right after school was out for the summer and had a wonderful trip.  I actually got Naunie up to the top of the Empire State Building!  We also saw some great Broadway Theatre in "Rent," "Mary Poppins," and "In The Heights."  If you get the chance, you HAVE to go see "In The Heights."  What an awesome show!

Naunie and I came back from New York and I took a quick trip up to see Grammy and Pa in Wichita.  Following that, I went to Lake Tahoe for IB Music training (yeah, it was as rough as it sounds).  While at the lake, I did go swimming in the coldest water ever.  

Got back from Tahoe just in time for Rock Camp at church, which was immediately followed with Adventure Week - our answer to Vacation Bible School.  Immediately after Adventure Week, Mike (the fearless leader), Drew (the intern - heh heh), Rick (the bass player), Naunie (the lovely wife) and I all went down to Austin, TX for the National Worship Leaders Conference.  We returned on a Friday afternoon and Naunie and I left on Saturday to go up to Omaha to visit the Mead clan, including a 6-day old Kaelyn Kess and three other very energetic toddling nieces! 

Finally home, Naunie is rapidly working on her final paper for the summer classes, I have updated the Bowie Choir website (huge thanks to former Disney Cast Mate and still great friend Lon Davis for designing our new logo!), and we are both frequenting our schools to hopefully be prepared for the coming school year!  

In my next post - which will NOT be 7 months from now - I will let you all in on the books I've been reading, the music we'll be working on, and how tired my brain is from thinking!  Until then, do as Monty Python says, and "always look on the bright side of life!"

Blessings,

Jermaine
