Nikki...From Michigan

Hi everyone...

   We have been in Michigan for the last few days. I have been having a Blast here. We are staying with Othello and Rebekah, some of our best friends. Its nice being around a couple you have so much in common with. So the guys have been writing some new songs and recording (having a super fun time :) they also have some local shows in the area, its cool that they are able to perform together after so long. 
  Othello and Bekah had a baby boy about 7 weeks ago. His name is Asa. Gabriella loves to look at him and point while saying "baby baby!" then she lets me know he has a nose, mouth, eyes and feet. She really enjoys pointing out those things on babies, its so cute. 
  In about a week we are going to be leaving on tour with Othello, Rebekah and Asa. The guys are going to be on the warped tour. We are really excited but we know it will be challenging. The schedule is pretty intense. And I know we will be tired. I also know we are going to make some life long memories. Its so cool we have the opportunity to tour like this while our kids are young. Before the warped tour Bryan has 2 paid dues festivals he has to fly out to, so while he is doing those, I am flying home with Gabriella to Oregon for my soon to be sister in laws wedding shower. Im really excited to be visiting home, it will be really nice to see my parents and brother. Gabriella and my mom are best friends so I know Gabriella will be very happy to see her! My parents have not seen her for about 2 months. She has grown so much and developed such a personality in that time. I am excited for them to be able just to watch her to the hilarious things she does :) The only sad thing about taking Gabriella to see her grandparents is taking her away from them again. I just feel horrible, I almost feel like I am teasing her or something. The good things is as long as she is with mommy and daddy she is content. Im crossing my fingers she does not get mad at me for taking her away from "mi-ma" and "poo-pa"  :) 
   I have been really tired lately, I dont know if its because we have been at one place for so long and my body is just not used to that, or if I am not getting enough sleep. We have been staying up super late each night watching Lost. Othello got Bryan and I hooked! Its an amazing show, the writing is super intense. Luckily he has the DVD's so we are able to watch episode after episode. I have to say the Office is still my favorite show though... :) I will write again soon! Right now I am baby sitting Asa, and he is waking up!!! good bye!

Welcome to MI! I'm in Grand Rapids, and was thinking about coming out to Lansing to catch a show, but work, responsibility and all that stuff is important too i suppose :) How bout the crazy weather lately? God bless you all, enjoy the warped tour.
