4th of July fun!

This past weekend I went back home to Worthington to be with the family for the 4th of July. As always it was great to be with the whole family. I also got to see the newest addition to the family. My cousin Shawn and his wife Mandy had a baby about 2 months ago. Her name is Abigal, and she looks just like Shawn. I got to hold her and feed her and I couldn't get over how small she was!

My cousin Billy brought his 4-wheeler out and was riding that thing around like a crazy man, but that's normal for him. But I did go on a ride with him, and I swear he was going at least 60 mph on the gravel road! But it was fun! Even Grandma went for a short ride with him, which surprised us all.

Aaron came home with me to meet the family, and I think he did very well. My uncles did the usual hastling, but Aaron took it in stride, and I think the family likes him, which makes me happy...

Mom had her first chemotherapy treatment on Wednesday. In her e-mail she told me it all went well and that she was just a bit tired. I'm just hoping this chemo will not totally wipe her out physically. I can't help but worry about her right now....

Tomorrow Patents Pending has a wedding to play. We are on the verge of starting some great things with new songs, and new look, and a new energy. I am looking forward to the future of this band. I don't care so much about the money. I just love to play! It is the greatest feeling in the world....
