Christmas Update

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800

Hello! Its been WAY too long since my last letter! Lots has happened for sure! Where do I start? How about April 23rd of this year we had a baby boy! Maxwell is his name and he is wonderful! Its been a major adjustment becoming a mom but I am loving it! I will have pictures posted on my website soon so be sure to have a look. Aside from that life altering event life has been fairly normal! I have been teaching music as my full time job since Max was born and have been enjoying it thoroughly.

I have taken a bit of a break from peforming but am slowly getting back into it. I am hoping to have a night of worship happening in Yarrow in the new year and am booking for womens/youth/fundraising/cheesecake concerts ministry in the new year as well!

While I have not yet been able to record another album of my own, I did have the opportunity to work on one of Rob Bergs albums called "Lost for Words" It is an instrumental album, which was nominated for TWO Canadian Gospel Music Awards and it is fabulous! I did many of the background (Enya sounding) vocals. You can order this CD directly from Rob at www.sealionrob.com or just send me an email and I can get one to you! (think Christmas presents!!) Speaking of Christmas "Carry on" would make a great gift/stocking stuffer and is on sale for the month of December for only $15 including shipping! Just send me an email to order.

Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!

BABY!

March Update

Its been a while since my last update and there is big news! There is a baby on the way! Soon :)! I am due April 21st! This wasn't exactly a planned pregnancy haha but the best things in life are rarely planned and we are both very excited regardless. We are finally settled into our new home, and are almost done the finishing touches on the baby room.

It is my hope that I will be able to spend as much time working from home as possible so I plan to continue with music and teaching in the coming months and will be accepting new students and local bookings for September.

Lost for Words

I have been keeping very busy over the past year and one of the projects I am most proud to have been involved with is Rob Berg’s latest album called "Lost for Words". This is an instrumental album of original songs by Rob that I had the honor of doing some very fun and creative Enya like vocals for.. you can purchase this album at House of James in Abbotsford, from Rob's website : http://www.sealionrob.com/ or by emailing me and requesting a copy!

Join the party!

I have had the pleasure of teaching music to a group of adopted children, mostly from Africa this year! They have been featured, along with the MEI Chilliwack Choir on Debbie Fortnum's upcoming kid’s album-"Join the Party". This CD is SO MUCH FUN! Its full of toe tapping, make you wanna dance tunes as well as some of (in my opinion) Debbie's most beautiful, worshipful songs. It's an album that will appeal to all ages so don’t miss out! The CD release pary is being held on April 28th and 29th at Chilliwack Alliance Church. I will be making my best effort to be there so see my students sing, and help out with some vocals as well! Its within a week of my due date, so we will see what happens :)

Stay in touch!

What a summer!

Thu, 25 Sep 2008 00:00:00 -0700

Well its looking like fall, and feeling like fall.. I have dug out my sweaters and scarves! This past summer was very full and very fun! I spent 10 days in Disneyland with the Janz family, helping them to care for their 2 very precious and very active girls!! I have always wanted to go to Disneyland and was in heaven! My favorite rides were the ones in fantasy land where you got to sit on those little train like things and re live the fairy tales.. peter pan, snow white etc. LOVED IT! We did the pirates ride lots too.. man those robots look real :)! Also, I have never had so much cotton candy in my life.. it just tasted SO GOOD there :)!

After Disneyland it was back to work! Mike and I were able to enjoy a couple camping trips and some great hikes! As far as music goes, I lead worship lots at my church, and gave a little concert at Agri fair! This last week I went to Mexico with my very best friend and her mom for a week of nothing but beach!! Seriously, no tours, just beach. It was glorious! So now I'm feeling rested and ready for the coming months!

Coming Up:
- My husband and I just bought our first home! YAY! :) we will be moving in mid October! This will be our 5th move in less than two years :)!!! We plan on not moving for a very, very long time!

-I've got spaces open - mostly weekends for ministry events... Christmas parties, worship leading, youth ministry, fundraising etc. See my website for the details! www.lisaadrianne.com or send me a note: lisa@lisaadrianne.com

Anyway! That's all for now!

Blessings!

Its April!!

Wed, 02 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0700

Well, April is here! This month is packed full of all sorts of exciting and challenging things! The very first "Cheesecake Concert" is this coming weekend and I"m SO excited to see what God is going to do :)!! Its not too late to get your ticket, so if you live in the lower mainland you should seriously consider coming out as this promises to be a very fun filled and inspiring evening!!!

-I am now an official volunteer with the Canadian Cancer Society!!! What this means is that I have access to a wealth of information on cancer prevention and care!!! I will be going into our local schools to share my music as well as talk about Breast Cancer with young women! I am also available to come speak to women's groups about this very relevant topic! If this is something that interestes you, send me a note! Please pray that God would continue to open up doors for me and that I would continue to find favor with the public and private schools in the lower mainland!

April also marks the two year mark with out my mom... I cannot believe how much growing (and grieving) i've done in the past two years.. wow.. I know my momma would be proud...April has once again found itself filled with bookings to share my journey.. its always a little bit harder and a little bit more real during this times....anyway, enough about that.

Please pray for my friend Feather.. I've talked about her before in my letters.. she is really struggling right now as she battles breast cancer for the second time.. you can check out her blog at : http://birdsofafeatherfightingtogether.blogspot.com/

Well thats the news for now! Thanks for all of your prayers and support!

Well, its the difficult month.. The month where every time you turn on the radio, tv, open a newspaper.. the pink ribbon stares you in the face..... I think Breast Cancer Awareness Month is wonderful... but its still really hard right now. All that said.. LADIES GET YOUR BOOBIES CHECKED! :) You should be doing a self examination every month!

My poor teeth

Thu, 12 Jul 2007 00:00:00 -0700

Well, I finally did it.. I had my wisdom teeth removed.. I have been avoiding this procedure my whole entire life... I managed to finally convince myself that it wouldn't be THAT bad.. well.... was I ever wrong... The teeth came out on Friday... it is now Thursday and i''m just starting to venture out of my bed and into the wild world around me! It turns out that my lymph node got infected... thus the reason the right side of my face has earned me the title "chipmunk". People laugh out loud when they see me... its quite sad.. Anyway.. I'm on antibiotics now and the pain is starting to subside... poooor lisa.. On a brighter note... I have recieved some MAJA award nominations! WOOHOOO .. If i heard correctly.. FIVE in total.. I will post more information on those shortly!
