Air Review in 2009

Well 2009 was a fantastic year of music for Air Review. Below is a list of some of the harvesting we had from the album. I'm humbly proud!

-'Landmarks' fell on the #1 Album of The Local Edge Show on 102.1, with 'All Because You're Mine' streaming on the airwaves.
-'Landmarks' was #10 on The Dallas Observer's Top 10 Best Local Albums of 2009.
-"Jura", the last track on the album, landed on #21 of The Best Songs in Dallas Music in 2009, according to The Dallas Observer.
-"Chasing Corporate", the 2nd track on the album, fell on #6 on The Ghost of Blind Lemon's 'Top 40 Local Tracks of 2009'.

Yep. It's been a great first year for the new album.

2. Snuffers

What are yours?

So being that i've been on vacation the past couple weeks, i've successfully & finally FINISHED the video I started in January. Have always wanted to use this song in a home video of some sort. Couldn't finish this until I had more footage/video of us on vacation. It starts on our honeymoon, there's a few clips of Air Review's rehearsal, and ends on our vacation this month. Enjoy!

Home at last.

The trip home was some-what pleasant, some-what not. All the way from Destin to Jackson it rained, heavy rain, off and on. Almost to the point of not being able to see. My wife enlightened me that she heard if you wear your sunglasses in the rain you can see better, so I tried it, and it DID help! An amazing trick. Jaci got stung on her toe by an ant during a gas stop! No other injuries occured during the trip, i'm happy to report. Dinner was at an amazing Crackel Barrel in Vicksburg, MS. I ordered a steak & Jaci got chicken-fried-steak. It came out in 5 minutes & we were out of there and on the road in 20 min. Fastest steak i've ever ordered, and it was quality too.
We finally got home about 11:15pm to a nice, quiet place we call the JRob's tiny palace :).

LAST DAY!

Well we made it to the last full day in Destin; had no major problems today, other than the oven in the kitchen wasn't working properly when trying to bake some pizza for dinner. We had to cook it on 350 instead of 450, for some reason it wouldn't bake that hot...who knows why, we just added it to the no AC on monday AND the coffee maker not working properly either. For the past two days i've had to physically brew the coffee into the pot; it's sort of hard to explain in words, but for some odd reason that we got left with (Robinson), the water was getting clogged into the brewer & wouldn't go through so I had to, with a knife, hold the brewer part UP so that the water/coffee would filter through the system properly. It was very tedius, but it worked & Bubs got his coffee every day :).
We also discoverd today that we didn't have to pay for an umbrella/chairs that they provided on the beach, as long as we were staying in these condo's. We could have sworn last year that we did pay, I know we did. So we enjoyed our big umbrella while a brief storm came through, nothing heavy, just a light sprinkle. We had a fun last time in the ocean before we headed back for some showers, then before dinner we took some photos (which I will be posting on here later). We've definately had a VERY memorable, fun, and relaxing week here. Thank you Jesus for unpredictable events that we will remember forever on vacations such as these. =)
