Things are happening fast...

I've been slow this morning. Unusually slow. I think I was thrown off when I tried to go to the gym and our office changed the door password without telling us. Halloween weekend was great. We didn't go out. Joel and I had our good friend Jen come over and we cooked and made festive deserts and played with Rufus. Oh and watched Harry Potter all day haha. Somewhere in the mix we became closer with some neighbor friends of ours. A married couple Tim and Michelle (2 kids Edison and T.J.). Had a few too many and learned a lot from Tim. It was great.

Sunday we were in the studio with our friend April Stephens. She came in to track some violin for us on 2 songs. That was epic.

Then last night Joel and I had a healthy conversation about us. I think we've gotten so caught up in music and the record and networking with all of our new friends here in Austin that we have sort of put our relationship on the back burner. I can only hope that the feelings that came out last night start to show and we focus more on keeping the basis of "us" strong and trustworthy. Communication really is everything. It's plagued me lately as to what can be said online and what can't. I'm sick of thinking about that. I can only be me. I'm tired of hiding certain things because of who I may "lose" from our circle or who may shut off being supportive of our music. To me, if you're not down, you're not down. Why should I waste my time and energy sugar coating that? Ha!

Anyways... here's a pic of the talented April Stephens in the studio. I can't wait to release this record. This one is so sincere and raw and to the point. There's a few touchy subjects and I'm looking forward to seeing the feedback from people. For now...
