Garage Makeover

Garage Project Before & AfterThe last few months I've slowly been working on repainting and cleaning up my garage. It's been a fun project, I think I chose it to start with because in the grand scheme of projects to improve my house, this one was the easiest! I also think there's a psychological factor in it for me to since my garage is the first thing I see when I get home and the last thing I see when I leave the house. Having it "in order" gives me a certain kind of peace or feeling of resolution when I walk through it. Anyway, here are some pics.

Silence

I just wanted to write a quick line to say that despite my long silence I have not forgotten about this little space of the internet. I've thought about it frequently but frankly just haven't felt like I had much to say, so I've remained quiet. I've been mulling over some ideas for new posts, so hopefully I'll be back before too long.

Thanks

A Day In San Francisco: Video

A Day In San Francisco from Daniel Myers on Vimeo.

After a Revolve show in Sacramento, I spent an extra day with my friend Sean doing some sight-seeing in & around San Francisco. We only had one day but we got to see a lot of fun stuff around the city including Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge!

It’s Time To Take Off The Training Wheels

It's a beautiful day in Knoxville. I'm sitting on the screened deck behind my in-law's house in a large suburb of this college town. The football game is over, I have no idea who won, the girls decided to go shopping, and now everything is quite. Mattie (the dog) mattieis laying below my feet waiting for me to finish. I'm savoring these last few moments of stillness.

Tomorrow I fly to Columbus, OH for the start of The Revolve Tour, and the start of the whirlwind that will be the next few months. I'll be traveling for about 75% of the next month, and for about 50% of the months after that. During the few days I have at home we plan to close on a house, move, and hopefully start settling in. I remember in college how I thought that if I could just get to the end of the semester then everything would be OK, well I'm not in college anymore, and I'm starting to think that the pressures I experienced there were just the training wheels for the rest of my life. I already have something scheduled for every single weekend until the beginning of next year. God has been good to us, and it's wonderful that he's providing me work right now during a time when so many others are struggling, but now I'm going to need some grace and strength to pull through it.

Kind of like college, I think that when I look back in a few years I'll probably only remember the good parts, and I like it that way. Let the whirlwind begin!

Time off is great

These past few weeks I've been trying to enjoy some much needed vacation time. Since I've been married (almost two months) I've been on the road way too much and the Fall is going to be just as busy, so I'm trying to make sure I use this time I have at home now be around as much as possible. However, since Laura has a real job it does leave me with a lot of free time during the day, which I have greatly enjoyed. I've gotten all sorts of productive stuff done and have had time to play around with all my little hobbies (such as this blog and a redesign of my website). I know that this time won't last forever (and I think that is a large part of why it is so enjoyable), but until I hit the road again next month for The Revolve Tour, I'm just enjoying life with my wife (hey that rhymed! maybe I should try my hand at some poetry...)
