Josh and I had an awesome weekend. we sang in Kalamo (a little town north of Lansing) for a pretty nice crowd on Saturday night, hurried home, got to bed, then got up and did the same thing all over again twice on Sunday! We sang for a pastor in Brown City who has quickly become a good friend of ours, and had a great time. We then headed out for a service at a new church that we had not yet been to. The pastor moved his evening service to 4:00pm so that he could invite people from other churches in the area. This proved to be a good idea, because we had a number of folks show up that had seen us in other places. I guess it pays to sing in multiple churches in the same area and develop a little bit of a fan club!
Thanksgiving is this week (just in case you didn't know) and Josh and I are very excited! Of course we are looking forward to the family, food and thanking God for His blessings, but we are also excited about the fact that we don't have any classes on Thursday! We normally are in college on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so we basically are going to have a week off! It will probably be the best Thursday that we've had this year!

Last Sunday Night & Facebook
Our concert last Sunday was a little different experience from what we've had lately. The church was literally within walking distance from our house! The only reason that we did not actually walk was because we still had to get all of our equipment over there!
Only fourteen people showed up, but it was still a great night. The pastor loved us, and sat in the back row of the church, laughing his head off at just about everything that we did, and most of the people did the same thing!
There was one lady who found all of our stuff so funny that she laughed almost constantly, even if it wasn't funny......I must say that it was a little odd to have her laughing so hard during MY GUITAR SOLO! (LOL!)
All in all, it was a great night. It was also very nice to get home so soon afterward as well. Traveling very far away for our concerts is fun, and we both love the ride, fast-food, and general experience, but sometimes it's nice to do a date at a church where we only use about 2 cents worth of gasoline.
Also, be sure to watch for an announcement for our soon-coming Facebook fan page! Soon we'll have a new page there where you can become a fan and catch all of our latest updates from the world's most popular social site.

What's happening this weekend!
Josh and I have both found a new love...... and no, I'm not talking about girls (though Josh is not doing to badly there either!), I'm talking about our new X-Box 360! We put our money together a couple of weeks ago and decided that, although we are college students who will soon be graduating and moving on with our lives, we wanted to make one last silly spurge on something that's maybe not-so-grown-up! We have both been having a ball with it in our spare time, and wondering why we did not do this a while ago!
We are going to have an unusual weekend. Today, Josh is off to a church in Flint to help out with a special youth day that friends of ours are hosting. Many of our college friends are also heading out to help the church, and advertise for the college. I couldn't go today because I have some other things that I have to do. Too bad, 'cause it sounds like they are really gonna have some fun together!
Tomorrow, Josh and I will be in our home church in the morning, and singing at another church in the evening. The neat thing about where we are singing is that the church is literally "around the corner". The church building is within walking distance of my house! If we did not have to carry so much heavy equipment over there, we would just walk to get a little exercise and not waste both drops of gas that would be required!
I love travelling long distances to sing, and we've done a lot of that lately. Such travels do have their advantages, but for once, it will be a relief to leave only a short time before church starts, then be the first ones home!

Singing this past weekend
Josh and I had two different places to sing this past weekend. On Saturday, we sang for our first Michigan Gospel Music Association concert. It went quite well, and both the MGMA members and the audience seem to be thrilled that we are now a part of their work!
The next day, we sang in Richmond, Mi. for a morning service. It was our first time there, and the people said that we were a blessing......so I guess we had a good day!
Today, we have college classes until this afternoon, then I'll probably slam my head into a brick wall after trying to understand the latest chapter of our Algebra book!

School & MGMA
Well, Josh and I had a unique week.
We had midterms last week, and got our results back this week. We both did well in most of our tests, and......at least passed on the rest!
We also auditioned for the Michigan Gospel Music Association on Tuesday night. We went to their meeting and sang three songs, and Josh did about four or five minutes of comedy. We then were voted in by a unanimous decision! They have already asked us to sing for them at their next concert this Saturday, and have offered us a couple more already! We are looking forward to many great times with all of these people.
