FINALLY A NEW POST!!!!!!!!!!

Hi everyone! Can you believe I'm finally posting something?!?! I'm so excited about doing a new post that I don't even know what to post about! Hmm.......... School. I am only taking 6 units this semester but it seems like more simply because it has been so long since I've been in school. So far I have gotten excellent grades and I am glad I'm only taking 2 classes because it has been quite an adjustment with work and all. I plan on taking at least 12 units next semester so I'm sure this semester will seem like cheesecake. Do any of you guys have tips on effective note taking and study methods?

I like pictures so I will include one of me and my good buddy Chris. Enjoy!

My Oregon Trip

On the 4th of July weekend I went on a mini vacation to Oregon... Here are a few pics from the trip.


Me and my sis...Me and my mom...

Espresso and burritos?????? Thats like... eggnog and pickles... Gross...
One of the many beautiful views of the Oregon coast...

Before I post the pics from Niemann Avenue's first concert, I have some things I want to say to myself, to the band, and to all of you who have been so supportive of what we are doing. Pride is an ugly thing... It distorts, it confuses, it is demeaning to others, it inflates self, and ultimately it pushes God away. Fellow band members, God has gifted us with talent(s) and abilities and I believe that He brought us all together via The Rock Church (hence the name Niemann Avenue for those of you who didn't know), but with those talents and abilities comes a great responsibility to use them for HIS purpose. Of course we will have fun, jam out, and hopefully make some money, but when the lights are turned out, the seats are empty, and the studio is closed... What message have we left? Did people see/hear HIM in Niemann Avenue? More than a guitar lick, a drum fill, a bass run, a keys riff, or a vocal trick, I hope people remember the anointing and power in what we sing and play. When we stand before God in eternity, He wont ask us why we didn't practice more... He'll ask if we used our borrowed talent for HIS glory, for HIS honor, for the good of HIS Kingdom. Will our answer be sure and confident because we kept the faith??? ............ It is my prayer that we never compromise, we never get proud, and we ALWAYS keep HIM first...

These Guys Have "Talent"

On the way to Minden................. It was a long drive what can I say............

Niemann Excitement!!!
