NACA TOUR

Hello!

Good news...I found the cord to import my photos onto the computer! Right now we are hanging out in Milan, OH at a my mom's friend's house. We've been on the road for over 2 weeks now touring NACA (national assoication of campus activities) showcases to book shows for the spring semester. So far it's been a great success. Our goal was to get 10 bookings per conference. We got 14 shows from our conference in Little Rock, AR and 19 shows from conference in St. Charles, IL!

Another one of our goals for this tour has been to stay with as many friends and family members as possible along the way so that it could be as much of a social trip as well as business. We figure that if we are going to drive all over the country, we might as well visit people that we love that live all over that we wouldn't otherwise get to see as often. Here's a little collage of our last couple of weeks...

These are photos with Cameron's dad and family in Kansas City, MO. His dad, aunt, and uncle are all in a band...so we had a great sing-a-long on the porch after dinner.

We got to visit our friends Holly and Kurtis, whom just moved from Tucson to Kansas City a month ago...they are euchre fans...so we got to get a game in! :)


Cameron's grandparents in Bloomington, IL:
Hub, Ryan, Cameron, Diane, and me...


Ryan and Cameron's old roommate, and the co-singer of our wedding song written by Cameron...the one and only Aubrey!


I also have more pictures on my camera from this weekend and tonight that I just haven't uploaded yet...and don't have time to do so now...but I promise to post soon!

xoxoxo!

El Paso!

Hello!

Well, somewhere between Arizona, Maine, and Michigan I lost the cord to upload the pictures from my camera onto my computer! :( So...no photos for a while...sorry!

Ryan and I were able to go back to Tucson for a little over a week to rest, re-connect, and re-pack! The weather was sooo gorgeous...I'm bummed that we aren't there to enjoy this season...but truthfully, fall is the best season anywhere in the country!

Last weekend I was back in Boston for another wedding! My friend Kristin from Americorps got married...it was a beautiful celebration and fun reunion!

Today I drove solo to El Paso, TX! This is actually the farthest I've ever driven by myself. I traversed in 3 states...AZ, all of NM, and into TX. I got to see highway signs advertising some funny cities: Truth or Consequences and Elephant Butt(e). Tomorrow morning Cameron flies into El Paso and then we'll drive to Dallas...eventually making our way to Little Rock, NM for a college conference (NACA) where Ryan will meet us!

Ryan and Cameron are both in LA right now (hence the solo drive), and Ryan will remain out there while Cameron and I drive to Little Rock. There is a HUGE possibility that they could be completely done recording by Thursday...so if you'd be willing, we'd LOVE your prayers for that! Ryan's birthday is actually on Thursday and he has to spend it in the studio all day...just him and their producer. As much of a drag as that is, finishing this record would definitely be the best birthday gift ever! If you'd like to send him some birthday wishes on Thursday, I know he'd be super touched to hear from you! His email is: ryan@ryanhoodmusic.com

Buenas Noches!
