The CD release on Tuesday was amazing! I have never been so proud of my husband the guys of Echoing Angels. We were all surrounded by our family and friends that have been there since the beginning. It was such a wonderful experience to see how far the band has come in the past year. EA lead us in the worship song "How He Loves" and all I could do was revel in how awesome the Lord has been to the families and the members of the band. The words of that song have never been so real to me! I have to admit- I cried. :)
Neil joined Echoing Angels last year and I have to say, this past year has definitely been a year of ups and downs, struggles and sacrifices... There have been times we contemplated whether joining the band was the right decision. Tuesday night was just a further confirmation from God that we are in his will. This is what we have been praying and fasting for!
Neil and the guys have been on the road since Tuesday night promoting the album. I have been so busy at the studio, I have barely noticed he's gone! Isn't that awful?? Tomorrow I head below Atlanta to attend Pulse On Tour with my company girls from the dance studio. This is one of the best events we attend all year. Our girls get to take workshop classes from all of the choreographers of "So You Think You Can Dance!" The best part is I get to take class too!
I will come home on Sunday night and finally get to see Neil for a bit before they leave again for another week. At least we will have one night together!
It has been definitely been a long week but it has also been an exciting week! I am so looking forward to Spring Break. I plan on doing nothing that entire week! Only 8 more days!

Oh my gosh! What an amazing night we had last night!!! Echoing Angels CD came out yesterday. As of yesterday afternoon it was #5 on the Christian itunes chart. PTL!!! If you haven't bought the cd yet, definitely go and get it! It's really a GREAT record!!!
Last night 104.7 The Fish hosted a CD release concert for the guys at the Buckhead Theater. Oh my gosh...completely packed out! There was no more room in the inn! LOL. We are sooo thankful to everyone who came out to support the guys. It really was such a magical night. The guys rocked the house. The audience loved it. Seriously...what more could we have asked for. It was just such an amazing night. I am so thankful to all of my friends who came out to support Josh and I. We truly are blessed with awesome friends! So thank you to my parents, my in-laws, all the Radiant Life Assembly of God peeps, Uncle Tim, Aunt Van, Jamie, Dina, Cara Michelle, Pam, Jen, Jason, Annette, Laura, Nick and Rachel. It was amazing to see all of you. Oh, and it was such a surprise to see a long lost friend of mine, Amber. She came with a friend of hers who had won tickets. It was so great to catch up with her. Josh used to be in a band with her husband and I was in their wedding. It had been a long time since we had seen each other. We both had babies this past year so you can see why it's been a little busy. But, I was so excited to see her!
Anyway, this night was a long night coming. We had been on this journey for the last 3 years and to finally see it come to fruition was just a miracle! It's definitely been a roller coaster ride and hasn't been the easiest 3 years, but, it's definitely been an awesome ride! How could it not be when you know that you are in the will of God!

Can you feel it??? We sure can! Excitement is in the air! Only 3 more days until Echoing Angels new CD comes out! It's such an amazing feeling and so hard to contain our excitement. The guys have spent the last 2 days working on their show for Tuesday night here in Atlanta. I know it's going to be great. Josh says there are going to be a few surprises but he will not let me know what they are. Ugh...so I have to wait just like everyone else. I can't wait to see what they are! It's definitely going to be a great show! If you are on the list to come out to their private CD release concert please make sure you bring some cash with you not only for parking but to buy your CD and Echoing Angels apparel gear. You know you want it and NEED it! :-)
After the show the guys have to leave immediately to head up to Indianapolis, IN for a radio interview and then concert that night. Then on Thursday they are in South Bend, IN and Friday in Grand Rapids, MI. Then they get to come home for a few days before heading out to North Carolina to continue the CD Release radio tour. So if you could, please be in prayer for the guys. They will be doing a lot of traveling with very little sleep. Please pray for protection and for the Lord to bless this CD.
In other news, we took Lacey to the pediatrician yesterday for a weight check. PTL she gained another 7 ounces. So she is now at 9 pounds and 5 ounces. Woo hoo!!! She's still wearing newborn clothes, but, they are starting to get smaller and she should be able to start wearing her 0-3 months soon. We are so thankful that the "easy" fix is working. We go back to the GI specialist next Friday for her next check up. Our pediatrician says that she thinks that the specialist will probably not need to see us again. So we are praying that is the case.
