Hello my friends.  I figured it might be time for an update...I mean I thought about waiting until November, but that might be a pretty long entry ya know?  Maybe not.  Well I had a pretty tight weekend over Labor Day so I'm pretty stoked (yes stoked).  My beautiful pal Jill was up from San Antonio so we got to have a little A&M reunion up in the 'plex.  Our good friends Ashley and Kathryn live in Dallas so we just made it a partay.  It was really great getting to hang with my girls again....especially after feeling a little lonely up here.  Kat is 9th grade teacher in Lewisville so I picked up some tips and good advice from her.  We got to see Ashley's ultra-cool apartment in Addison Circle and I let those girls cut my hair.  Dang I know.  It's all about the trust.  Anyway, since I've been missin College Station and the whole A&M experience, it was cool to see my Aggie pals and bring that home a little bit.  

School is going well.  I think I've gotten into a pretty good groove and I'm getting to know my kids so that's pretty sweet.  The paperwork is still overwhelming, but I'm learning the tricks of the trade as I go.  Mosaic has been awesome the last couple of weeks.  I'm so grateful I have an outlet like that to play some music and worship.  I was afraid after GLC was over and out that I would be left just playing to myself in my room.  As much fun as that sounds, I mean I'm not gonna lie, I'm excited about playing at Mosaic.  Plus I get to see all my amigos like Linds and Johnny, Dave, and Mary Mason.  3 cheers for Glen Lake in the 'plex. 

My best friend from high school got married today so that was cool.  I got to see a lot of old friends from Stephenville and see the old church etc...  Flashbacks to high school and junior high--man gotta love all that. 

Alright kids, I'm going to go play some guitar and finish writing some songs.  I'm determined to record a cd...soon.  Love to all.  Deuces!

His,

Mel <><
