Lucky we're in love in every way

Life has been a big ball of complete insanity lately. I haven't had even a few minutes to sit and type a blog entry like this one. I suppose that's a good thing. It means I'm not stagnant. Not wasting away the hours, even though at times I definitely feel like I am.

Sarah and I moved in together. We have a cozy little apartment with my best friend in my favorite neighborhood. It's far from being done, but we've made significant progress in the week we've lived there, especially considering this week was our cd release week. More on that later. We still want to paint the living room a beautiful color called "Fresh Melon" by Glidden (go check it out). We're missing a few end tables. Our room isn't fully unpacked and my side of the closet looks like a mess. But all of that considered, we're stoked on how it is coming along. It's incredible to spend every night with her. We've had our little spats and moved on from them quickly. In a strange way, this is proof to me that this is meant to be. Normally, fights in relationships with me signal the end. I don't handle it well. But with her, it's worth working out. I have the desire to confront issues when they arise. We work them out fairly quickly and move right along. She's gone through one of the toughest periods in life that someone can go through and we've gotten through it together. I fall harder for her every single day.

Our new cd came out on Tuesday. It's been selling incredibly well. I'm super anxious to see how the online sales and in store sales have gone. We won't hear until Wednesday, so suffice to say we will be freaking out until then. First week numbers are the most important in a band's career. We've pushed so hard hoping for success. Our whole team is so supportive, and I can't believe the reviews it's been getting. People are super positive about it and I'm incredibly grateful. Now it's time to figure out what's going on with the next tour!
