Thanksgiving break
Sorry I haven't updated this for a while!
I've been so busy finishing up my Christmas ask letter I've barely had enough time to breathe! But now that that's finally out of the way, I can actually write something on here!
It's super late, but I realized I never wrote about my Thanksgiving vacation. It was a great time with family and friends and I was really thankful to see my church family as well.
I ate so much turkey I think I became one for a day. Gobble, gobble is right!
This was one of the cutest things I've ever seen. And it's so cool because it's one of the church kids wearing the blue sky nine sticker! hehehe
Isn't that so cute?!?!

Isn't that so cute?!?!I can't remember if that was Jeffrey or Jonathan. To be honest, I never quite figured out the difference since they're twins. Sorry H.C. and Cynthia! I have to ask them how to tell them apart next time I see them. But man...that's just so cool. I hope bsn puts this pic on their website!
Church folks also gave me a nice cake:
And I got to hang with my mom and sister. Unfortunately I only got a picture of my sister and not my mom while back home.
Here she is trying to feed my dog something:
Or maybe she was trying to keep something away from his mouth that he was trying to eat...I forget. Anyways, speaking of my dog! IT'S SHOGI!!!
Isn't he so cute?!?! He's the best dog EVER!

All that to say, I had a wonderful time, though it was quite stressful to be honest! I know now that the next time I go back I need to really limit my time with people and even limit my visits with people because it can become very exhausting and no longer feel like an actual vacation.
I'm looking forward to Christmas break in Atlanta, where I'll be visiting my dad. I don't know anybody there so I'll just be chillin' until the sun goes down every night! It'll be sweet.
Don't get me wrong. I love you folks back in NY, but I need to either decide to see people or not when I go back. Trying to have vacation but then trying to accommodate my schedule to see everyone just doesn't happen.
Chasing Elvis rehearsal
Rehearsal with the 'Elvites' (as we're affectionately called) has been going great! I have to admit there were some days I was little flustered at the distractions and not getting as much done as I'd hoped to, but a lot of it is adjusting to the work style of a different team.
I tend to be a lot more gung-ho and go get 'em and just plow through a lot of time with rehearsing with minimal distractions and tangents, rather than just kind of letting discussions and rabbit trails go long.
Anyways, the end of this past week was GREAT and we got A TON accomplished. I'm feeling way more confident about our material and things are starting to come along. As always, in a new situation, it always calls for a lot of adjustment, change, and time to just gel and get to know each other socially, spiritually, and musically. God has been working in all of us and binding us together in His love.
Each of us has been going through unique struggles in our lives and I'm thankful our team has been a platform for us to share those burdens and pray for each other. I've been really thankful for that and am so blessed by them. I love my team! And I'm looking forward to an incredible season ahead of us.
When we come back from Christmas break, we'll only have about a week and a half before we hit the road for our first gig on January 19th down in Florida for Crusade's New Staff Training, so it's not a lot of time! I'm praying for more consistency in the efficient use of time for our rehearsals so we'll feel well prepared.
My tendency is to go off the deep end and work 'til my fingers bleed, so I think it's a good mix for us to come to a compromise and come to a middle ground of working hard but relaxing and taking welcomed breaks when they're really necessary.
Please keep praying for us! We need it!
We also just finished our photo shoot so I'll be posting up new pictures of the band on here soon. Keep checking back for more updates! Thanks for reading friends! Blessings to you!
