I am shocked at how differently I perceive arizona now. It’s so crazy to think that other than loving school, I absolutely hated living out here starting back in the summer of 2002 and going until january of 2003. It was so hot. People were so angry and rude. I couldn’t really get to know anyone. Now, coming back after all this time, we’ve met some of the nicest, most hospitable people, and eaten some really good food, and I am actually sad to not have more time to stay and get to know all of our new friends. So strange.

In other news, I would say that our new system of playing with three people and making it still sound like a really full band is going swimmingly. I love playing with Tifah and Reid so much that I constantly tell them. I am sure they are tired of hearing how amazing they are and how lucky I feel to be on the road with two superhuman geniuses. Yup…It’s pretty great.

We played at a church called EVBC in Gilbert, AZ and it was so cool. I don’t think we’ve ever sounded better as a band. I would like to brag and say that the sound guy, Tim, is a fellow graduate of the Conservatory of Recording Arts and Science and he does his job very, very well.

I love my life. I can’t complain about anything. I love being on the road with two of my favorite people. I love playing music for a living. I love seeing new places. I love meeting new people. I love seeing God move and touch/affect peoples lives through our music. I love being thankful about everything. It feels so natural doing what I’m doing that I almost can’t believe it. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
