    I have some very exciting news to share with all of you! Ben & I found out this week, that we are having a little baby BOY!!! We cannot wait to meet our son in August of this year. Ben is already planning drum lessons and father/son golf days:) lol. I'm praying that he picks up another instrument, because I can't handle two drummers in one house!

    Honestly, we're just happy for this new season and all we care about is having a happy & healthy baby boy! I'll continue to keep you posted on any other updates. And NO... we haven't picked out a name yet! haha. That's been one of the hardest parts :) So... if you have any great ideas, feel free to throw them our way!

    Here are some pics from my doctor's visit.

    So I had the pleasure of speaking to a student here at our show at this college I won't name and I asked her what she was studying in college and what she wanted to do with her life. Her response to me was that she wanted to be a photographer but that she didn't know if she wanted to do that because it was so cliche. It instantly peaked my curiosity because I'm such a die hard dreamer I couldn't let her get away without telling her to follow her dream! To think that she'd let her passion pass her by because "everyone" was a photographer and the field seemed riddled with posers and fakes blew my mind!! There's going to be resistance or competition in every field you go into. The point is to find something that you LOVE to do and have an absolute passion for because those are the jobs that you're going to give that 110% to without even thinking twice and when no one is looking! Thats the dream that you think about when you're at your normal job or before you go to bed and you have that "I wish" moment. God created you with these specific likes and dislikes and those are the unique things that you should celebrate and nurture because those are the exact things that will set you apart and make you a commodity of creativity. Dream big you guys, and dream often. It never ends if you choose to not let it.

    Love you

    So, the other day I tweeted about having a weird craving for taco bell since I've been pregnant. i got an incredible amount of feed back and thought it was hilarious reading about all your crazy cravings!! (even the ones from u guys who are obviously not prego! That being said, i thought it would be fun to share with all of you some of my top pregnancy cravings that I've had so far!! Just looking at these pictures are making me hungry! haha

    1. Red Lobster cheddar biscuits-I realized how much i was really craving these when, while pulling a pic off the internet, i immediately started drooling!! lol I wish I could just walk into red lobster and say, "can I just have biscuits please?!!"

    2. Grilled cheese-This is one of those cravings that just work at any point of the day. I can have it for breakfast with a tall glass of OJ or in the middle of the night when its 12am and I'm starving!!!! ha!

    3. TV dinner (chicken fingers w/brownie)-This was one of the weirdest cravings i had in my 1st trimester. It was fast, easy to make and tasted delicious at the time. My husband, Ben, literally went out to the store and stocked our freezer full of them!! NOW, just the thought of them makes me want to hurl!! i don't know what i was thinking! so if anyone is in the mood for some chicken fingers and fries TV dinner, just come over to my place. i have about 15 still in my freezer!

    4. Apple sauce-I've always liked applesauce, but recently it seems to have become a necessity. Whenever i feel uneasy or upset in my tummy, applesauce seems to hit the spot and make me feel better. Especially when it's nice and cold! 

    5.Taco Bell (nacho bell grande)- So anyone that knows me, knows that if we were ever going out for fast food, the LAST place I would choose would be Taco Bell. Well, correction, the last place i would choose is captain D's or long johns silver (eww) but the 2nd to last place would be Taco bell. Now, I'm eating it twice a week!! I'm sure after I give birth i will be regretting this decision but as of now, it taste sooooo good!

    6. Ben and Jerry's chocolate fudge ice cream-I'm not big on desserts or sweets but just a little scoop or 2 or 3 of this is perfect!

    7. Cheddar cheese cubes-I've always loved cheese, but recently I've been obsessed with it! If i didn't watch myself, i could sit on the couch watching Law and Order, and eat a whole bag!! They taste even better on a Ritz cracker or with a side of apple slices!

    8. Rice and beans-This is an obvious one! It's not just any rice and beans though, but specifically my mom's home cooked rice and beans! The best!!

    Hope you enjoyed this!

    Sometimes I'll have people ask me what's next after music? It's a funny question because I seriously haven't looked past music to even think about it! But when I actually sat and asked myself that question a slight fear come over me...what WOULD I do? Would I get a real job? Do the 9 to 5? Become a bum on the street selling my mix tapes for $5 lol! That slight fear reminded me of a very fundamental part of our faith... trust in God. It's as simple as that! Do I trust him? That's a one word answer! There's no explanation needed or excuses given. It's yes or no! For most of us, we like to project our feelings and insecurities on Jesus and make him the cosmic keeper of our ever changing emotions. If something doesn't go the way we like the first thing we do is question God like "Why didn't I get this? Or why didn't that happen?" We rarely think, "Yes!!! I dodged something terrible that wasn't for me".

    Life WILL happen to all of us no matter race, age or religion...it's what we do with life when it happens that defines our character and future. I for one am praying for the grace and strength to be able to look life in the face and say, "you don't scare me!" There's nothing that will happen to me that The Lord hasn't already written. I'm not living an untold story in the realms of heaven. I'm living a timeline that's laid out for all to see except me, and the best part about it is that I already know the ending...and so do you.

    Love
