Shawn's Birthday Weekend

Shawn's birthday was on Saturday. We actually did a little thing at the house for him on Thursday; it was just me and his parents. I got him a really cool cookbook; he's Mr. Chef now. He totally loves to experiment in the kitchen; no complaints here. This is why its very important that mothers don't do everything for their sons while they're growing up. Let them do their own laundry, let them learn how to cook...so they can survive when they leave the house, instead of having to figure out how to do everything or being taught right before going to college. Shawn said the other day, if I'd of learned how to cook growing up, I'd of probably gone to culinary school. Oh well... We'll make sure our babies know how to do everything before leaving home : )

So Friday night we went out to the lake. Chris and Nikki had a campsite for the weekend and we sat by the fire and played Texas Hold'em, whatever its called. We goofed off and had some fun. Right when we got there, they called us from the marina and said they'd ran out of gas in the boat and the marina was closed. (I think they're the only ones around that area that sell gas on the lake). But I was like, the marina is closed at 7pm on a Friday night? They're missin out on some money, for SURE. So anyway, we had to go back toward the house and get them, get gas in the boat, and go back to the campsite. We had a lot of fun though.

And Saturday, we got some recording done for Destiny. It sounded pretty good. But then Dustin came down on Sunday and killed it. Oh my gosh, I couldn't believe it. I was actually about to drop one of my songs, just because I couldn't get it sounding right. But after he put his handy dandy touch on it with the electric guitar, that thing sounds awesome!! Shawn says with the guitar on it, it sounds kinda like Katy Perry's new song, Vegas, lol... It rocks, though. We're submitting the album tomorrow to be mixed and mastered, and should get it back end of August. Very excited to hear the final sound. It definitely blows Freedom out of the water, well I guess anything blows Freedom out of the water, lol...
