Right now Hannah and I are waiting in the terminal at Tulsa International Airport to fly out to Chicago, hoping that our flight will not be cancelled. We have had quite a crazy couple of weeks, and are looking forward to somewhat of a break.

I will be returning to Bentonville next weekend, and will resume the recording project on Monday, December 31st. It is our goal to have most of the work done by the end of the week (January 4th). We will then have one more week to tie up loose ends, and finally will head down to Conway on the 14th for a week of mixing at Lifeword. If everything goes as planned, we will have the mixing finished! For those of you who might not know, mixing is where we take every individual recorded track (guitar, vocals, piano, etc) and "mix" them together. This will take a considerable amount of time, as one of our songs may use over 50 tracks!

The final process on the audio side will be to send this final mix to be mastered. The mastering process will help the CD flow from song to song, and will help finalize the sound. I know this is a bit of a vague overview of everything involved, but I hope it will help give you an idea of how it all works.

Of course after this, we will send the final master to be duplicated along with the CD artwork. This will put the final copies in our hands! I look forward to posting some updates along the way as we finish this out. Thanks for stopping by, and make sure to follow these final steps, we cannot wait to get this finished and in your hands!

From all of us here, we hope that you have a safe and restful Christmas, and we would once again like to thank you for all of your support this year. It is truly a blessing for which we are incredibly thankful!
