Just a routine update.

Hey guys. Sorry we wait so long between posts!

Just a few little updates:

Victoria and I had a great time visiting St. Louis a couple weeks ago!
I got to sing at Wente's in Chesterfield that Saturday night. It was a blast!

A little news, as well: They asked me to come back to Wentes and sing the day before Thanksgiving! So I'll be back for a few days around then!

Other than that, David and I have been learning alot of new songs and playing all the open mic nights around here! People are LOVING it!

The plan is to spend the winter networking and playing these open mic nights and as many gigs as we can get. We've also found a guy who might record us this winter. So then, when the season rolls back around, we'll be able to sell as many cds as possible, and count on the tourists to take our stuff home with them. Then when it comes time to hit Nashville, we might atleast have some sort of following or atleast some people who know who we are!

So the plan is in motion!

Anyway, everything else is going good. I need to get hired somewhere before I can start training for my CDL, but I'm on the verge of it, so I'm about to be a truck driver! Haha, whodathunk?

Victoria is doing great, working hard, making money. She misses you all very much and says to send her love.

We love you guys! See you all soon!

Seth and the GATOR FARM!!!

Hey ya'll! Sorry we havent posted for a bit! We're just getting settled into routine with the roomates and whatnot.

Plus, Seth came to visit this week!

We went crabbing the first day and attempted to have some blue crab dinner, but everyone except David and Shelly got pretty grossed out. We were watching a video aboout how to pick blue crab and the guy called the crab guts "mustard" and then ate it all..... I was done after that.

Anyway, the next day Seth, Victoria, and I went to ALLIGATOR ALLEY!!!
It's this local gator farm that takes in alligators that have attacked humans or other animals. Kindof like gator jail.

They have 175 or so full size gators and some massive ones! Like 14 feet long!


Also, they have Captain Crunch, who holds the world record for strongest alligator bite at like 2989 lbs of pressure. That's nuts!

They even had some little baby gators that you could feed! I took a video!


Here's their website, if you're interested: GATOR ALLEY FARM

We got to see a feeding and the guy was just in there with like 20 gators, some of them like 800 lbs and 13-14 feet long! They'd hiss and try to bite him and he'd just prod them with a stick and be like, "Get outta here." He was kindof a badass.

Seth and I went to the beach later that day and did some boogie boarding.

Seth, David, and I played some music last night, which was really cool. We recorded a song together that I'm really excited about!

Anyway, he left today, but we had a great time!


Love ya'll!
