Soup and Bowls

-
Today we ventured to a park in Mission Bay (very close to our house) to a place called Ski Beach on Vacation Island (funny hey?)Where all the fine folks from SanDiegochuch got together to play their own 'Soup'er Bowl' of sorts.

The Game: Flag Football
The Soup: (I brought mushroom and tomato ... condensed)
The Point? A canned soup drive coupled with some friendly football = Bowls of Fun =)


It was a good day, Jay and I actually got some sun on our faces (Jay got sun on his head.)

I did PLAY Flag foot ball! Can you believe it? Jay didn't but I stepped up to the plate! All the while hoping that I wouldn't get injured since we don't have any insurance here... (I did escape with no major catastrophe's, a couple bruises...but no catastrophes')

I was on Pastor Chad's team "Chuck Norris' Beard" (See designer T-Shirt) The name was his idea...I don't think we won... although near the end of the tournament, we were playing sudden death overtime, and I was beginning to be able to relate to the hockey players who have to do the shoot outs over and over and over again, just hoping after a while that SOMEONE would just win already.


I got to shoot some crazy photos with the camera of my dreams. (Courtesy our friend Andy). And after it all, Jay and I had some supper @ Chilis and headed home to relax (for the first time) in our own little outdoor hot tub. Still feels like I'm on vacation somewhere wonderful, just waiting for it to end, but it doesn't. We're pretty tired out, tomorrow is the Super Bowl, and we'll finally get to see all the funny commercials that we don't get in Canada. YAY!

Till next blog =) A.

Hope and Beyond

There has been a lot of emotion for me the last couple days ~ it's hard to describe to someone who doesn't understand. After finding out that my dad that I've never known, is alive and has been looking for me, and after being found by a half sister -- worlds just are not the same.  The very person who's lack of presence has had a mighty hand in shaping the person that I am, is now is this strange half-shadow that is almost within reach, but still not accessible. My heart wants to scream sometimes (a messy mixture of fear, frustration and joy) but I know that I need to give him the space that he needs.  It's all so very messy this life, this love.  God has been the only father's love I have known -- but as I believe that God is creating great healing and restoration to my dad's soul and mine as well. I described this way to a good friend of mine: It's like your life is this little house, with all these windows letting in light, and you know these w...

If I ever wondered if HE loved me

So, I'm going to admit how pathetic and "of little faith" I can be with this post. Of course, there needs to be a bit of prelude-type explanation. On Nov. 20th my husband and I will celebrate a special anniversary -- 4 years since leaving our home -- the only one we've known in Sherwood Park, Canada -- and driving, with only our car, clothes and guitars across the border and down, down, down to San Diego, California. (that's 1751 miles south) Our reason for the move was to pursue our music, our mission and our dreams and just a new life, pioneers of sorts. It would take me many blogs to say how many times God has shown me his love through the whole process, from easy stops at border crossings, to precisely timed Visa interviews, to lenient border guards, to miracles in paperwork and finding jobs, it is astounding how He has continually provided for us, and continually strengthens my faith through circumstance. So, enter here and now, almost 4 years later after V...

Studio Feb 13th . 2010

So this weekend we went into the studio, Ground Level Sound, in Vista, CA to track drums for our album ... we did four songs yesterday and began one today (Unwanted Man, shown above), but then our producers computer crashed (!!!), so we had to leave early (only one hour after we got there) and he is now in the process as I type of retrieving the files that were lost when his drive became corrupt =(, I feel mostly bad for him, as he literally had a whole month of projects in jeopardy. I've racked my brain a bit today as to why this would have happened, and I have no answers, we're a bit deflated but all the more excited about getting these tracks done. We don't know if our songs from yesterday are o.k. or not yet, but we'll keep you posted, if all goes well, we'll be back at the studio to finish up. Please keep us in your prayers, for the completion of the tracks and album, and our producer too, Alan, his father in law is in the hospital right now with a broken neck...
