I've been sorely neglecting my blog. Things have been so busy here in Glendale as we prepare to hit the road. We had a 'kick-off, farewell, good luck, see you sometime' house concert tonight, hosted by Dale and Ginny Ward (my dad and step-mom). It was great!! Some good folks came too see us perform and wish us well. Last night we hung out in Thousand Oaks to celebrate a good friend's 39th birthday. A good time was had by all and several shots of Petron were consumed. I woke up this morning with that tequilia headache...forgot to take ibuprofen before bed. Whoops...

Tonight I am really tired, but in a good, satisfying way. It feels good to be working full-time on my new job/career/life. We're making it up as we go along, figuring out what works, what doesn't, etc. It's daunting at times, but also very excited to have the freedom to create the life we want. Tomorrow we'll hike in the morning and work on MuseKraft pieces in the afternoon. I suspect we'll cook a nice dinner at home...the home we won't have much longer. It's bittersweet, but it's going to be worth it. There's no point in paying that much rent for a home we wouldn't be in for more than a few days over the next 6 months. We'll have many places to stay that feel like home and things with us in the van that will help us create that sense of home wherever we are.

So, like I said, I've been neglecting my writing during this period of major transition. I'd like to get back to it once we get on the road. There will be new places, new faces and new experiences that I'm sure I'll want to write about. We're also planning a foray into video blogging and I'm looking forward to seeing where that takes us.

Monday we're going to see samples of a couple of engagement rings we're interested in getting. I can't wait to see them. I'm hoping they will be 'the ones' and we can place an order. As I told my love once before, I can't wait to engage her properly by putting a ring on her finger. I'm a little traditional in that sense. On that note, I will sign off...my lids are heavy and this screen is bright.

Peace out, peeps.
