Making Music Out of Life's Simple Joys

Thinkin ‘Bout Nothin (Track 6)

I was thinkin’ ’bout somethin’
You were thinkin’ ’bout nothin’
And I was try’na read in between the lines
On your face and in your mind

Friend Like You (Track 4)

When I was a young boy
I set out to the outdoors
Looked for things to catch my hazel eye
I could have done it all alone

Whoa whoa, wakin’ up late again the alarm never ends
Anxiety has got a grip on me and what am I gonna wear?

Our New Life in the North

We are super open people. I can’t deny that we would confess to you pretty much any old thing you wanted to know about us. I believe it’s a combination of our desire to connect with people and the lack of skeletons in our closets. We are about as transparent as they come. Continue reading “Our New Life in the North”

What 9/11 Means to Me | by Joel

September 11th is a day that will live in infamy forever.

  • For the U.S.A, it is one thing (9/11/2001)
  • For me, it has become two different things.
    • 9/11/2014 – Alyssa and I took the first unexpected turn in either of our lives
