Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum ... k, I couldn't resist - sorry guys

As the day approaches for me to fly to Montreal, I have truly been blessed, but being able to hang with some great friends.

This last weekend was pretty much perfect from start to finish.

On Sunday we went with Werner to a little mountain town by the name of Julian, it actually totally reminded me of the "Rural California" version of Whidbey Island in Washington.

My first impressions of Rural California? A cross between, redneck, country hick and old fashioned Saloon...I don't know =)

The drive there was really cool, we passed these mountains filled with the largest boulders I have ever seen! So weird.
I feel so strange, having to prepare for leaving soon. I have gone through my stuff for the consulate a ton of times, but I haven't packed yet. I have a hard time thinking about things without getting nervous...knowing that people are praying for me makes a big difference for me in my heart.

So, I'll be packing tomorrow, and leaving EARLY Thursday (my plane leaves @ 6:45 but that means I need to be at the airport at like 4 in the morning!) One cool thing, my good, good friend Emily is flying back to Canada within a week of me (I think she'll arrive on the 21st if my brain serves me right). It is pretty cool that we'll be travelling back to the country together, what a gift!

Till next blog =)

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...
