It’s been a great week in the world of little old me! On Halloween, I found out that It’s Not An Excuse, It’s A Reason has been nominated for a Hamilton Music Award! I’ve also been nominated for Local Group of the Year by the People’s Choice so that’s neat! I was lucky back in 2009 when my Break Me EP won the award for Best Pop/Rock Recording of the Year. Whether or not luck is on my side this time around, it’s honestly just great to be nominated again.

After I heard the good news, I rolled up my sleeves and started carving my little family’s first official Halloween pumpkin, turning it into what I would consider to be one bad ass jack-o’-lantern! I stuck a candle in it, cleaned myself up, put my superhero pajamas on and headed out the door… A typical night in the life, really.

Chels and I took Skyler out trick-or-treating for the first time ever. Last year on Halloween he was just one month old and terrifyingly sick with pertussis so, as you can imagine, this was a much better experience for all three of us, especially our little dinosaur! It was rainy, windy and cold but he had a sexy devil and ninja turtle to keep him warm and cozy so he was just fine.
