So my wife gave me one of the coolest gifts she's ever given me while I was home on a quick two and a half day long break last week. The gift? Tommy Snare! Who's Tommy Snare? Well he is a pet monster that Susan hand stitched. Pretty cool huh? She named him Tommy Snare after my obvious love for drumming, (Tom Toms & Snare Drums). So this week Tommy has traveled the country with me going from Ohio to Oregon, Washington, Montana & South Dakota. It turns out he's quite the "Rock Star"; he likes hanging with the fans at the meet & greets, getting his picture taken, eating only the green M&M's and frolicking in the fruit tray. Despite his need for attention and the fact that he won't let me play my drums unless it's show time, his is a good hang. He gets me out of bed before noon, encourages me to eat healthy and checks my email for me when I don't have time. So thank you Susan for my new friend Tommy Snare! I love you and just want you to know that he's lots of fun, (not as much fun as you of course), but he fits in my pocket which is pretty neat!

So when do we get a new blog? We've wondered what you have been up to Mark! Hope all is well with you and your beautiful family!
Hey Mark! not sure if you remember me when you came to visit Susan's home church in MI about 10 years ago. Susan has known me since I was a little kid. I'm currently at Loyola University here in Chicago studying to become both a dentist and pastor. I'm currently trying to organize an event at Grant Park in Downtown Chicago where all the Christians in the Chicagoland area can come as one to worship God and have a time of fellowship. It would be amazing if your band could lead praise. let me know.
Hey sweetie
Just stopping by to wish you and your family a happy blessed Easter.
Cant wait till May to see you guys again, hopefully with new songs.
Much love to all of you.
PS - time for a new blog, lol
