It's thursday morning and I just realized it's been a week since my last post. I just finished a show last night in Irving/Dallas. It was super fresh. We had a great turn out, plus some of my close friends such as Sivion, Malachi, Marissa, Keith Hill and others were in the house. All of my shows over the last week have been incredible - from Flagstaff, Albuquerque (two shows) and Dallas. I had a day off in Albuquerque so I spent about 5 hours in the studio recording guest appearances. So far I've dropped 7 guest verses during the first two and a half weeks of this tour. I still have a handful of songs left to record so I need to find at-least one more studio to hit up before the end of this month.
Last Night we stayed with our good friends Luke and Jen. Luke's farther, Larry Huch was the pastor over the church I was attending when I first met Nikki. The church was based in Portland, OR but relocated to Texas about 3 years ago. Whenever I'm in Texas, I'm usually doing an event with Luke. Our families have become really close friends. Another married couple that we are close to recently moved to Texas as well. Malachi, Marissa and Natalie! Me and Nikki have people from all over trying to convince us to move. haha. Right now we live on the road!!!! But it's fresh having close friends all over the U.S. (not to mention all over the world). We still anticipate settling down in Portland once this tour is over. The Northwest still feels like home for us, plus most of our family lives there so we want to be close to them.
Gabriella has been doing great!!! That picture of her laughing in the car was from one of our 6 hour car rides. I was singing a song about "stinky pants" and she was laughing really hard. She always falls asleep in Nikki's arms at my shows. haha. It's cute, but our baby is getting heavy. We need like a mini portable bed that we can bring to the concerts. We have been sleeping in a different bed pretty much every night. Some nights we stay in hotels and some nights we stay with friends. All three of us (me, Nikki and the baby) cuddle up in one bed together. Needless to say, I've been waking up every time the baby moves. It's hard to get a full night of sleep sometimes because Gabriella has been rolling around a little bit. Her temperature has also been a little high - so we are keeping a watch over that to make sure she is okay. I'm typing this early in the morning.... we are learning how to post pictures with our BLOGS!!!

I think that it's dope that you can travel with your family like that. It's really encouraging as a husband and father to see you all band together like that. Keep doing ya thang bruh
we had a great time while you guys were here. Jennifer, me and the whole ignite crew! It felt strangely different to see you guys pull out in the van this morning to head for the open road, (after a brief stop at sonic if Nikki has anything to do with it. LOL) I don't know why, but I'm feeling like it has to do with us all getting older. that thought was probably carried home more easily by the beautiful baby strapped into the car seat mumbling Bye bye. Yeah, thats what's different. This time we said good bye to 3 of you, and the next time we see each other, the time that has passed will be un-ignorable because you will see it in the way the baby has grown up. It was a fantastic weekend, wonderful to spend time with you all again and we hope that the rest of the tour finds you healthy, happy and hopeful.
