Puppy Love

Hey blogger fans!

I am proudly writing this on my new Gateway Mini Laptop! Woot! My old one died early last week, and I suddenly found myself more lost without it than i care to admit :) I drag my computer all over the place listening to music, writing and e-mailing. So when i was suddenly forced to use only my husbands big desktop which is stationary in his office upstairs (I know, walk upstairs, what a hardship) keeping up with the CMR website became a sticky task.

For those of you who don't know, my husband and I adopted a puppy last week! She's a 7-week-old border collie, Rottweiller mix we got from a shelter in Apache Junction, AZ. We named her Sonora. So, raising a puppy while nannying for my 19-month-old cousin, on top of already having an 8-month-old kitten has been very time consuming, fun, and frustrating. I love hearing my husband's frustrated cries when he realizes he's been humming the theme from Winnie the Pooh for the past 20 minutes. (Baby diapers plus kitty litter plus a puppy who is not yet house trained = too much poo in my life.) Baby and puppy and kitty are all taking a nap right now, while I squeeze in a few peaceful blogging moments.

In the mean time, Christian music review is moving forward with some awesome reviews in the next few months. I'm currently listening to Gungor's new CD, which will be released on Feb. 16th. It's awesome! I highly recommend it.

Keep visiting ChristianMusicReview.org to see what's new! Thanks all!

First Blog ever.... don't worry, i'll get better!

Greetings Readers!

Believe is or not, this is my first blog. I know, I know, pretty sad for a journalism major. They told me in college it was important to have a blog to be a successful writer, but I just never got around to it. So here we go! :)

I'm really excited about the new Steven Curtis Chapman CD coming out in November. I've been blessed to preview the upcoming release, and I can already tell you it is truly a thing of beauty. Every song is about his daughter, Maria, who died last year in a car accident at the age of 5. But the songs are not depressing or mournful. Instead, they are filled with the hope of heaven, and God's promise of reuniting us with our loved ones in the next life. The first few words of the first songs brought tears to my eyes. So be sure to keep checking ChristianMusicReview.org for the Steven Curtis Chapman review.

Well, my hubby is gonna be home pretty soon, and I need to go make him some chicken soup. Even in the heat of Arizona, people still catch colds.

Thanks everyone, have a great day. Don't forget to keep on praying, Christ will always here the prayers of His faithful servants.
