The flight to Orlando yesterday was worth every penny I paid for it! It feels good to be back home for a few days. Kim picked me up at the airport and gave me a big hug and kisses! I miss her so much whenever I'm on the road, and I appreciate her being so understanding with the call of God I have on my life. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful wife, and the boys are fortunate to have a mom who takes care of all their needs.
This morning I am sitting in my brand new recliner and enjoying the quietness of my house. After waking up very early (again) and seeing Spencer off to school, I spent some time with Tate before letting him ride his brand new bicycle down to the bus stop. Kim left for work shortly afterward and I'm waiting to take Colton to his orthodontist appointment. Just call me Mr. Mom. I have a lunch appointment with a super musician Corey Powell who heads up one of the finest horn sections in the country. He plays with many top artists, and I get to buy him lunch today. Colton has a baseball game today and tells me he is scheduled to start the game pitching. Spencer has a football game on Saturday and I'm excited about seeing him dish out some pain to the other team. (Listen to me! I've turned into a dad with anger management issues.) I'd better charge up the camera now.
Yesterday was Tate's 6th birthday and he was pumped up for it too! As soon as he walked through the doorway from school he wanted to go to town and get his bicycle that we had promised him. I'm surprised he didn't run someone over in the store while he was trying it out for size. We had dinner at Sonny's BBQ and he thought he was big stuff since he ate ribs and cleaned the bone like an expert. (I wonder where he got that talent from?) Then we had some birthday cake while the waitresses sang "Happy Birthday" to Tate. Last night Colton had band practice, Spencer had football practice, and I practiced laying my head on the pillow around 9:00.
It will be great being at home for a week. I have several meetings planned regarding some exciting things coming up later in the fall, along with playing out a couple of times as well. Then it's back on the road again (in the words of Willie Nelson) as I fly back to Memphis next Monday and pick up where I left off. After making it to the Ole Miss homecoming next Saturday, I'll begin to make my way through MS, AL, TN, NC, and GA before heading home for good around the end of October. The good news is Kim will meet me in Nashville for a weekend and Colton will do the same in Greensboro, NC.
If anyone can hook me up, I am looking for the following football tickets: Ole Miss, Vanderbilt, Tennessee, and Georgia. (I'm not sure if they still play football in North Carolina.) Just kidding!
