Long overdue update:

We just got done with the west coast and we have about 4 weeks under our belt and about 3 more to go. It went by fast now that I am here typing this but thinking back, so much happened!

Starting in San diego we played and then drove all the way to Seattle and Portland and then all the way back down to LA and then Anaheim and San diego again. Then phoenix and then LA again then phoenix and now wears in Oklahoma city. Whew! I’m sure I forgot something but it was definitely a lot of driving and playing. We also saw Sigur Rós is Berkeley somewhere in there too.

We just filled up for $2.19/gallon in OKC which has to be some sort of record in years for lowest gas price. It’s amazing.

I have only fond memories of the last few weeks. I miss my family and my friends and my girlfriend so so much. I can’t wait to get back home an see everyone.

I love being on the road. It’s a hell of a lot of work and sometimes not the most fun or easiest thing to do but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I get to play music with 2 of my best friends for a living. How cool is that? It’s amazing to think where I thought I was headed 3 short years ago. In retrospect, I’m so happy none of those plans worked out. It’s funny how life works and where you find yourself along the way.

I feel like a lot of times when I start writing and thinking about what to write, I almost automatically turn to remembering how thankful I am. It might sound weird, but I am also really thankful for being able to be thankful. I just have a really grateful heart for everything that I have been given and I feel so lucky and blessed in so many ways and I am just often overwhelemd by it all to the point of shedding tears (happy ones).

I am pretty sleepy now. I have been doing nothing all day except sitting. I hope to work out tomorrow before our trip to Kansas city.

Please feel free to write or call me anytime. I would LOVE to hear from you. Sorry about the spelling errors. I typed this on my phone and sometimes it doesn’t autocorrect how I would like it and I end up not catching it.

See you later, alligator.
