Bring on Summer!

I'm sitting out on the balcony at my apartment right now. I have a Sam Adams Boston Lager in my Sam Adams Boston Lager frozen glass and have some music playing in the back ground (Myles Kennedy if you couldn't have guessed). It is 80 degrees and I'm getting pretty stoked about summer. Lot's of stuff to look forward to this summer.

First thing, we get to move into our new house in mid-May. We have a nice house up in Fishers. Currently the former homeowners are renting it from us until mid-May when their house is done, or May 14th, whichever comes first. Coming with the new house will mean doing lots of homeowner stuff...mowing the lawn, landscaping, building a deck out back etc. I have to say I'm looking forward to all of that. I might even teach Courtney how to mow the lawn.

Also, hopefully by the summer we will have hired a worship leader at the church (see post below). If all goes well this will be someone that shares my vision for what our church needs to be doing in terms of contemporary worship and outreach to the currently non-existent young adult population in our church. So that is exciting.

At the new house I will have a room all to myself for my music. I am very much looking forward to having a place of my own I can go and work on music, play some guitar or drums and relax. I can maybe even get back into doing some recording which I haven't done in over a year and a half.

All in all, it's going to be a pretty sweet summer.
