What has been going on in The Grimes Girls life.

Well the show Caileigh, Noah, and I had went very well.  We had fun and met a lot of sweet women. :)

I have not had much of a chance to post because we are now only 3 days out from Kat's wedding. Yup, thats right. In case you missed that post Kat is getting married.  NO WORRIES though.  We will continue to play...........as The Grimes Girls. ;)

I want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas.  Let's not forget the reason for the season.  Christ coming to earth, born of a virgin, so that as a man He could shed is blood for our salvation.  *John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.*  God's love is great. Not only at Christmas but all the time.  Except the gift of eternal life He offers you and have a new year unlike any other!! :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Upcoming Show

Just thought I would hop on the computer and let you know that I (Nat) will be doing a show on Wednesday without Kat. Scary, I know.lol  I am pulling in some friends. Noah Wullenweber, who used to play banjo for Micheal Cleveland, and Caileigh Ganahl who is a harpist.  We found out yesterday while practicing that Caileigh and I can blend our voices well too! That was exciting and we can't wait to perform what we have been working on. Unfortunately this is a private for a church in our area.  I will let you know how it went though and maybe even post some pictures. :) Thanks for reading!

Hello!

Well we got back safe and sound from Kansas. :) We had a lovely thanksgiving and got to see lots of people. We have a brand new cousin who was 15 days old and it was great getting to meet him and hold him. :) We saw lots of family and ate lots of food............I am still trying to figure out how I ate so much! lol

When it comes to Thanksgiving food though, my weakness is the dessert.  One of my cousins made these brownie/chocolate and peanut butter covered rice crispies.  The rice crispies were covered in chocolate and peanut butter and spread on top of brownies. OH MY WORD!!!! It was like heaven in your mouth! lol  I think I ate like six of them! It was the BEST thing ever. lol So needless to say by the end of the day I was a very full warm sleepy ball.lol I hope everyone else also had a great Thanksgiving! :)

Funny Story

While we were in Michigan we saw something, that as Hoosiers, we had never seen before.  As we were leaving to come home, we saw a black squirrel..............something quite new to us. We had never seen something like this before.  It was a little different.  Apparently, they are very common there.  We were told it is part of their seasonal coat change........I think they eventually end up red.  Just thought I would tell you that..........in case like us, you didn't know there were black squirrels. :) haha

(see picture of the black squirrel to your left. :) )

Unpacking Time!

We returned safely from Michigan tonight. :) We had such a fun time.  The couple we stayed with were so hospitable and our show went quite well.  It was so good to catch up with some old friends and make some new ones.  This was our first time to Michigan and although we didn't get much time for sight seeing what we saw of Michigan was very pretty. :) 

We will be heading out for Kansas on Wednesday. Please pray for good weather and safe travels.  We do not have any official shows scheduled but we will probably end up playing several times while we are there. 

I hope you all have a great thanksgiving! :)

Michigan!

Once again I apologize for not keeping up with the blog better.  We have been pretty slow lately with gigs so there hasn't been lots to update you on.  However, Friday we will be heading to Michigan to perform.  We are both very excited to play there because we have never been to Michigan or performed there yet.  We hear it will be cold, but I am sure we will have lots of fun! 

We are in Michigan until Sunday.  Then we turn around and leave on Wednesday for Kansas. We will be spending Thanksgiving with family there and will probably be playing for family gatherings as well as for their churches maybe.  We look forward to a fun relaxing time. 

For those of you who are curious. Wedding plans are going well and on schedule! :) Our house is getting very excited for the wedding in December.  Needless to say Kat is very excited too. :)

Thanks for reading and be sure to pop back over after thanksgiving.  I will be telling you about a solo show I will be doing without Kat and with some other friends.  Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving!!

Hello Ya'll!

Well, Nashville was GREAT!!! Congrats to Dailey and Vincent for winning the International Bluegrass Music Award for Entertainer of the Year for the THIRD YEAR in a row! (Among winning two other awards!) We are so excited for you guys and wish you the best for many years to come!

Also while at the IBMA's I competed in the Grand Master Fiddler Traditional Competition.  I made it to the Championship round and placed fifth.

This weekend we are taking a break from shows to move Kat into her new apartment. :)

Nothing to crazy has been happening lately. We got an in-ground fence for our dog........training is going well.  Wedding plans are progressing, and everyone is getting excited. :)

I will post again soon to let you know of upcoming events. :)
