Squirrels and the Bachelor

It's been a while. Wait, maybe I should re-phrase. It's been a looong while ;) So my home internet connection has been down all month. Turns out squirrels get bored up in Ohio during the winter and like to chew on cable lines. The cable guy comes over today to 'fix' it and of course it was working today right before he arrived. He said I have a miracle modem because his little computer showed that I shouldn't be getting anything coming down the line. Weird, but that's cool. It's working at the moment and my wife is sucked into watching the bachelor this season for some reason so now is a good time to write.

The band just got off an incredible tour this weekend. We had the privilege of going out with some great guys and working with WayFM. If any of you were able to come out I really hope you enjoyed it! We couldn't believe how many people showed up every night. I feel like the whole thing was a dream since it was such a short run. But I really felt blessed to be part of something that reached so many people every night. I'm hoping to get some video from the last show at some point. I unfortunately lost my camera battery charger a while back, so that explains the lack of road pictures. It's time to get one though I think because already so much has happened this year. We've been super busy writing songs for the next record and I'm happy to say that things are rolling right along.

We have a few days to recover before we head back out. I think I have a bit of a cold coming on. I'm hoping the zicam comes through for me this time.

til next month ;) just kidding...

Darn squirrels, well I'm glad your back to bloging and hopefully the next one will be sooner and with pics or videos! I was sad that you didn't come our way with the tour, I would have driven 4 hrs again to see it... Looking forward to seeing you guys play the new songs!!!

anyhow, I can't follow you on Twitter anymore, did you block me accidentally (Rockermom1)???

Have a great week. Much love, be blessed!

Hey Chris,
I know it was a long time ago when you came up to Spokane, WA for a concert in October, but my friends and I would like to thank you from the bottoms of our hearts! After hearing Sammy talk our hearts broke for the people in Africa. Quickly after that we got involved. We launched a continuing campaign to raise funds. Our whole school has gotten involved and it has just been amazing! Please check out our own blog: makechangecampaign.blogspot.com.

Mainly I just wanted to thank you and everything your band has done! You are all such an encouragement! God is definatly working through you in incredible ways, keep up the good work!
~God bless

Your twitter says you went to the art museum. The art museum? AS in TMA? Was just there on Feb. 13th. Had a nice dinner at the Spaghetti warehouse. It was great. Didn't stand too close to the Van Gogh's though.

Hope you're doing well.

Hi Chris

I was checking SR website and it list a show on 5/31 in NJ, however is not listed in the myspace page. Just want to make sure that you will be playing. I check the address and is 3 hrs away (you guys are killing me- thank God gas price are lower than last yr and you're worth the trip, lol)

Anyways, please, please practice at least one of the new songs. I would LOVE to hear a whole one this time....

Hope you are having a great time at home with the family.

Much love, be blessed!
