Randy leaves tomorrow at noon to head to D.C. for their first show since the Cascade show last October. It has been almost a year since he was diagnosed with cancer. I remember him putting off his surgery, (before we KNEW he had cancer), just so that he could play in Redding. Little did we know, they would have to put off a whole year's worth of touring. A lot of changes have happened in the band this year:
1. Jon Young quit the band
2. Randy went through 14 rounds of chemo
3. Jeremy and Meghan have conceived a baby girl, due in 2 months
4. John Scholfield quit the band
5. I gained 20 pounds!!!
6. We've seen miracles happen almost daily. well maybe weekly, but certainly enough to rejoice daily
It's weird to embrace change, but that's what we have to do. Just take it. Pray over it, then go head strong into the future with our heads held high, and out hearts in God's hands.
I am so thankful to all of our friends, acquaintances, prayer warriors, gift givers, RENT SUPPLIERS... without you guys, this year would have been impossible. We received meals for 4 months (hence most of the 20 pounds i gained. What? it was really good food!)
Our rent was paid for a whole year. Our living expenses too. I've always had a shoulder to cry on, friends to laugh with, and our health. NO ONE GOT SICK THIS YEAR! not one cold or flu. There are some of you, you know who you are, that have given me more than i deserve as far as support and love. Thank you.
so he's leaving in just over 12 hours. i need to go to bed so I'm not an emotional train wreck tomorrow. good night!
When you LoVe first, the rest of the commandments fall into line on their own.

Just checking in to see how the departure went. We are still praying strong for you and the family. Shifting prayers a bit to include safety on the road. :) Let us know if you need or want anything. Even if you just don't feel like cooking or scrubbing your toilet. Email me and I'll come help with what ever. Love to you all!
I will be praying for safety and good health for Randy and for you and the kids while he is away. :)
What a year! So glad that Randy is out doing what he loves. We can't wait to see him in San Diego! You are all welcome to stay with us then or anytime you can get down here. Love and prayers!
