Danielle and I have been very busy in the past few weeks (as any of you who have planned weddings can imagine). Between monthly trips to Calvary Chapel Ojai for our pre-marital counseling with Pastor Dan Nelson and his wife Shelly and family road trips we’ve both had our plates full.

While we were down in Ojai two weeks ago, Danielle and I had the pleasure of leading worship. To hear a song from our set, click here! Note: you can download the file by right-clicking and selecting “save linked file as…”

We have a great time singing together. Let us know what you think of our music! If you are a record label executive we would be happy to discuss signing on to your label ;)

As I mentioned, we’ve both been traveling quite a bit. In addition to our monthly trips down to SoCal, I just got back from a 5-day road trip with my brother, Alden. We drove out to Colorado Springs, CO for the Focus on the Family Institute Reunion. It was a great drive out there (we put about 2,500 miles on my car) and was fun to reconnect with friends and see what everyone is up to.

While Alden and I were gone, Danielle had her bridal shower. I would love to post pictures here, but haven’t seen them yet… The only thing I know is that they had a lot of fun. If you want to find out more about the shower, you’ll have to ask Danielle or one of the attendees.

Danielle took a weekend trip with her family to Fort Bragg, CA (not to be confused with Fort Bragg, NC) a few weeks back. They had fun hanging out in town, visiting the Spunky Skunk toy store and relaxing on the beach. Right now, she is up in Oregon visiting her Aunt Amy with her brother, Nathan.

That’s about it. We’re on the countdown to the wedding — less than 3 weeks to go!

I’m still trying to get a copy of Josh’s out-of-print first album, StoneTree, but his second album, Underquiet, and his third album, the just-released Over Oceans, are excellent choices.

While I’m making music recommendations, the Bored-Again Christian podcast is a great source of new music that nobody has ever heard of. Just Pete (the DJ) brings a new mix of “boring” music to your computer (or iPod) every week.
