Co-writers --

Some of you have probably already heard the news that we moved to Iowa. We miss StL but we are really loving being back closer to our roots. Iowans are some of the best people on earth!

We are currently living with my in-laws, in an attempt to avoid 2 mortgages. To be honest I underestimated how hard it would be to be in-between houses. I'm having a really had a hard time being patient. The market's not good for selling a house and it doesn't appear to be getting better. I'm not generally optimistic in nature anyhow, so this has been a trial of my faith. Please pray for my trust issues.

One of my goals this year was to record an EP of original songs. These songs are the ones that seem stick out at concerts. And after playing and writing, they are the ones I keep coming back to. Maybe because they are the most true to where I am at right now.

I had scheduled the studio before all of the moving plans fell into place, and it was a challenge to stay with those plans. There were several days that I spent the full day working on the house and then staying up very late in the studio. I also made a few trips from Iowa to StL just to record vocals. It has all been worth it. The process of recording your songs is great. I love collaboration and to see how other musicians add beauty and passion to music.

I hope to have something available at Write About Jesus, but most likely it will only be the rough-mix. We're close, but there is still some work to do with mixing/mastering. Besides, I know we won't be able to turn around graphics and manufacturing. So maybe I'll just have a sign-up sheet for those who might be interested.

Well, thanks for reading this. I just thought I'd share a little of what's been happening. Please jot down a blog and let us know what's new with you. Can't wait to see you soon at WAJ07!
