Drum Circle!!!

So I am sitting at Cafe Aroma listening to Amy (a percussion professor) run a drum circle with a bunch of people including Becklynn. Man, how awesome! As I am enjoying this music I will give you an update on, well....us. Becklynn is doing really well working at Aroma as the Music and Arts Manager. This place is getting popular. Multiple Grr Records artists have contacted the Cafe with an interest in doing shows here. The Bethany Dillon show we did awhile ago went WONDERFULLY and business is going great with all of the students and professors back in town! Becklynn had her first visit to a homeopathic doctor in Monmouth, IL this week. She needed to go see someone since all of the natural thyroid meds are on a national backorder! What a great deal of wonderful information and insight she came away with! Thankfully she is healthy. Oh yeah, and she is not pregnant this month! lol. So has anyone lost that bet yet?
I'm doing pretty well in classes. I LOVE my electronic music class. I automatically get three hours a week in an electronic music studio here on campus. It is packed with some SWEET synthesizers and other gear. I can already tell that I'm going to have a lot of fun with that. Oceanography is pretty fantastic. GOD definitely knew exactly how to make a perfect working system. (By the way, Amy is now teaching Becklynn a dance in the middle of the drum circle which now has a sweet groove going with Dale on his Stratocaster and Devin rocking his bass guitar!) I'm in a choir for the first time in my life and it is pretty enjoyable. The human voice can act as a beautiful instrument. My other classes are also going well and my schedule has not gotten insane with homework yet. This makes me a happy puppy!
Now for some randomness. Becklynn and I were gone with the band playing at Central Christian Church in Rockford, IL this past weekend. It was a great gig as usual, but when we got home we found the apartment very smelly from the cats. I guess they decided that their litter box was too smelly so they wanted to use the floor. EEEWWWW!!!! So we cleaned that up, but the apartment still smelled like a moldy, wet towel a couple days later. We thought that maybe it was our homemade cat litter (which has been working fabulously by the way), then realized it was the blanket that was laying on the ground in the living room. Someone urinated on it! Gross! So we cleaned that and the apartment still smelled. Becky ended up putting baking soda all over the carpet and sweeping it up and, thankfully, the smell is gone! It is nice to have a clean apartment that does not smell like a giant, moldy litter box. lol.
Becklynn and I are down to our last bottle of sparkling cider from the wedding. The caterer only put one bottle on each table at the reception instead of two. This means that Becklynn and I got to take home two boxes of it. Sorry if you didn't get any at the wedding. If it's any consolation, it is delicious! (Dale and Amy are now "talking" musically with their guitar and drum...fascinating!)
Dad, if you're reading this, I've been wearing the Harley hat you gave me for my bachelor party lately. Thanks, I'm really digging it. Now I just need the Harley to go with it. And yes, the Wii (and other gifts) have been used as well!
I'm signing out... Love ya'll.
