Hi All,

Sorry for the lack of communication over the last couple of weeks. Hannah and I have been very busy, frantically moving everything out of our apartment to a storage unit. We are in Chicago visiting my family for a couple of weeks before she flys out from here to study in Washington state until the end of August.

We decided to do this, as I needed to be here for a while to work, and secondly, we have yet to figure out where we want to live. We have some great leads on renting a house in Bentonville (very close to Fayetteville, and literally down the street from Wal-Mart HQ!) So we are very excited about the possibilities of that.

We have really grown out of the apartment, trying to run a business and all, so this would be a welcome relief.

Okay, so the project. The last studio session went very well, and we are pretty much done with all of the major work. Lendell and I have about 15 hours or so to spend working on finalizing things, and then we can begin to mix. Unfortunately at this point, we are now at a standstill before we raise what we need to finish. But, it is a good position to be in, as at any time once we get the funds, we can be done within about two weeks.

So the goal at this point is to have the album mixed by sometime in August, which will allow us to start promoting it while we raise the final amount to finish. I am looking at jobs in the Bentonville area, and hope to find something to help us during this time.

This whole thing has been such a big push, that it is a relief to be where we are now. We just cannot wait to show you what we have been working on, as in Lendell's words, "This is exceeding all of our wildest expectations", and he has been part of many projects. It truly is for all of us, so much past what I am able to show at this point, so be looking forward.

Even though we are not finished, I am satisfied that this will be a job well done. We could release what we have right now, however, it would not come close to doing all of the rest of our work justice, and would not be finishing to the best of our abilities. Thank you all for your understanding in this, it will be worth the wait!

One more thing, I will be adding a video or two from in the studio shortly, so be looking forward to that in the next few days. It should also give you a little sneak peak of what it will sound like. Cannot wait to share that with you!

Finally, thank you all for your continued prayer and support, especially Taeko Peters, Dave Williams, Lendell Black, Alex & Tyler, my family, and my wife Hannah. You all have been such an encouragement during this time, and I could not be doing this without you. Thank you ALL (not just who I mentioned) for your prayer and support, please keep it up, as it appears to be working, and of course it always does. God bless.
