Salt Lake City

Good Evening! Tonight we are staying at a house in Salt Lake City. It was a nice show tonight with other musicians. Last night was spent in Boise at a house show that was also successful. We were paid a very generous amount by people's donations. Hopefully it will be enough money to get us home.

Two days of tour left - tomorrow we will be in Denver and Lincoln, NE the next day. This has been quite an interesting experience. It's been very emotional. Sometimes I feel like I am the happiest I can be and other times I feel super depressed and tired of it all. Overall I would say this tour has been exhausting but fulfilling.

I'm nervous for the life that awaits me when I get home. It will definitely be an adjustment to get back into working (although I am SO excited to see my boys), looking for a job as much as I can, figuring out my social life, etc. One thing I cannot wait for is the ability to sit down at the Piano and WRITE! I've been inspired by countless musicians and people. I am really amazed by people's generosity on this trip. If you helped us out in any way... THANK YOU!

We have fallen short on taking pictures lately so i'm not sure if there will be more. Hopefully I will just see you in real life real soon!

Love,
Sarah

Seattle!!!

We are leaving Seattle in a little bit on our way to Olympia and from there... Denver? Only a few days left and then Maribelle will be found in a theater near Chicago watching the new Twilight movie on the 30th! More pictures when I can.

The last few days

It has been difficult to take time to get to a computer for the last few days. We played a show in Oakland, CA and then in San Jose and we were able to stay in San Jose for two nights in 'The House of the Dead Rat". Thankfully, it was not what it sounds like at all. In fact, I was very sad to leave San Jose because that house was so welcoming and I think the people living there are very cool.

We spent an afternoon in San Francisco where we walked up steep hills, got a little lost, and had pretty bad chinese food. I still thought it was fun. Dara was able to meet up with her roommate from college, who then brought about five people to the show that night. Lots of fun

After Cali we made out way to Reno Nevada. I made 75 cents! But then I spent one more dollar the next morning and lost it. We played a show with an INCREDIBLE duo in Reno that I think will one day be big. The next morning we got up at 7 a.m and drove all day through mountains to get to Eureka, California where we hiked in the Redwood Forest. That was pretty cool.

Being at the Grand Canyon and then the Redwoods made me understand how Native Americans thought these things to be so sacred. There is something about these natural things that demand respect.

We are now in a hotel between Eureka and Portland where we will spend two nights. It turns out we will probably be home on the 29th, not the 2nd like I originally thought. And there will be no show in Chicago. I think our last show is in Omaha, Nebraska.

I hope you all are doing very well.

This post is called I miss you

Staying in San Jose tonight. We have a bed for everyone, washer and dryer, and are able to stay in one house for two nights. Life is good. Tonight we played a show in a coffee shop and it was very enjoyable. Last night we played on a wooden "stage" at a co-op in Santa Barbara. I wish I could explain all of the crazy things that happen every day, but there are no words. We are currently working on a top ten list. It should be ready by tomorrow. Not much to say except that I miss you... Yes, You!

Arizona and LA

This morning is our third day in L.A. but we are on our way to Santa Barbara this afternoon. L.A. has been awesome. The first night we played at the Tribal Cafe. The show had some difficulties and was probably the roughest one we have had so far, but the place was cool and later we got to hang out with some of Aaron's friends.

Yesterday we went to Venice Beach and walked around all afternoon. It was too cold to swim, but we had fun looking at the different kinds of people there. They also have a pretty sweet little skatepark where we watch people for awhile.

Last night we played at some of Aaron's friends' house. It was so nice. There were about fifteen people and we were able to relax and hang out all night. I am sad to leave L.A. but on to the next I guess! Here are some more pictures from Arizona and L.A.
