Big News!

My little brother just got engaged this morning to his girlfriend Cindy! She's a sweet girl and we're really going to enjoy having her as a part of our family. Congrats Mike and Cindy! (I can't believe my little bro is getting married....makes me feel older)

This is quite funny because right after my wedding my Dad said that would be the last wedding in our family. Mike sure showed him!

Yay!

Finally

I wrote a song today. It was very therapeutic (sp?) actually. It's been a rough few weeks and I feel like there's no end to the emotions that I'm having.

I'm at a point where I'm looking over my whole life and analyzing everything. (Which can be good or bad depending on how you look at it.)

I wonder why God made me the way that he did. I feel so alone in my feelings and beliefs sometimes. I've heard that extreme emotions can either make or brake a musician. (However...I'm not even sure I can call myself a musician yet...I haven't written enough lately and I don't have the drive that I should.) I find myself wishing I was in N. Ireland whenever I come to this point. I think that the only way I've gotten by here is by pretending I was never overseas in the first place. Why can't I get over it? I'd really like to know. It's not that I don't understand why I'm here. I know. I'm happy to be married and have the life that I do...but I just feel lost.

Anyway...I have so SO much cleaning to do and people coming here today. Thanks so much to those of you who've been so encouraging with this whole music thing. You really are wonderful. And I must say...one of you who just gave me his CD to listen to....I'm very impressed. We'll have to chat about it at some point.
