I'm baaaack....

First of all I would like to apologize for the lack of constancy and of posts this spring and summer. I am very sorry. I have been busy with a lot of things which I will tell you a little bit about below, and I am still trying to figure out this whole time management thing. Still working on it, but I am getting better! To catch you up on what's been happening in my life, here are some pictures. Then back to our regularly scheduled music!!

Started working for my friend Blake's screen printing company! Blake and his brother Brandon own Q-brand, and I happen to be the merch consultant. So if you need some T-shirts, banners, bracelets, etc. Hit them up! *shameless plug* Blake and Brandon also happen to be Christian musicians. They have a band called Uncharted, which I'll tell you more about later.

I went on a mission trip to Guatemala!! Had an amazing time. It was the best week of my life. We built houses for a couple widows. We went to some really cool feeding programs where we were able to help feed the kids, play with them and teach them about Jesus.

This is Henry. Met him in the market, love that kid.

One of the coolest things about the trip for me though was how close our team bonded. Most of us weren't very close or barely knew each other before going, however down there we were able to open up and be real with each other. I absolutely loved it and all of them!!

Ultimate Frisbee night at Revolution Youth Group!! #REDTEAM

I also helped out at a lot of camps, youth groups, and youth events, etc. Had a great time at every one of them! Made some awesome new friends and bonded with some old ones. Felt extremely loved and over joyed, and to be honest also felt used and taken advantage of. All in all though I think I have learned a lot this summer, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

On our way to the E4N lock-in!!

After the lock-in.... *shake my head*

Basketball Camp!! Such a blast with these kids!

E4N Youth Camp!! #TheCrew BTW the crew is better than the squad... All I'm gonna say.

Because silly pictures are the best pictures. 

So that catches you up a little bit... how has your summer been? Comment and tell me or hit me up on Facebook or Twitter!

Thanks again for being patient during this time, you rock! Now back to the music!!
