proud wife

One of the first things that attracted me to Jamey was his passion for music. I would go to all of his shows and watch him rock out on stage (what a babe!) and sing his heart out. Something amazing would happen to him whenever he stepped on a stage. I could just tell that he was in his element, 

and he was exactly where he needed to be.

A couple years ago, Jamey decided to put aside music, pursue a serious relationship with me and get a full time job. This was great for a season, because it allowed us to spend so much time together, and to save money. He proposed, we got married, moved into the sweetest little back house... 

our dreams were coming true for us! 

But, Jamey is a musician, and he is a darn good one (no bias). I've spent the last year watching him battle with putting music aside to pursue what seems to be the "responsible" choice. He decided to start picking up his guitar again, and began writing music with one of his friends. The songs started piling up, and I could see a joy in his eyes again. It has been so encouraging to watch Jamey come home after a long day of work and spend hours writing, recording, demoing, etc., 
all because he has a dream.

I've always been proud to be Jamey's wife. This week especially though, I was incredibly proud of him. His band has been promoting the date 10/29/13 for the last two weeks. Friends and fans have been getting excited and eager to know what was going to be revealed on this date. On Tuesday (10/29), they released a video that had a three song teaser and with some clips of the recording process. They also released a new website, new band photos and 
even dates/locations for a tour this winter. They've received such a great response so far, 

and I know he is so motivated by that.

There are lots of exciting opportunities in this next season, 

and I am eager to see where God leads this. 

Jamey, I am so proud of you. I'm proud that you never gave up on your dream, and that you are putting in so much effort to pursue the gifts that God's given you. 

I love you immensely, and I will always support you. 

To the moon, babe.

XO
