Three storms, two graduations, and one big day tomorrow!

<center>It's been a typical spring day here in Missouri, and so far we've had three heavy thunderstorms come through today. It is causing minor flood threats, considering there are so many small rivers and creeks everywhere here, and these storms are just dumping a large amount of water, so very typical for the spring season here. I'm a lover of thunderstorms, the rain and lightning, the big booms that scare everyone... It's just calming and refreshing to me. I also love the clouds that you can see from these fronts going through and the difference of air temperatures! These shots are from the second storm of the day (there's been three already) and I took them while we were driving home this afternoon.

We also got to celebrate two graduations this week! My youngest Drystan graduated from Kindergarten on Monday! Such a dork! He is doing so great in school and will hopefully be in the Gifted class next year! We are so very proud of that little man!

And today, Rhythm and I graduated from basic training! We did a class to teach basic manners and commands to help the dog act better, and the handler to teach their dog better! It made a huge difference in our normal day lives and has helped me to handle the puppy stuff! ;) She's a good girl and I'm so happy she learned some stuff with me! (And that we both remembered it... HA!)

Now for the big day tomorrow... My band and I are driving 2 hours in the morning to go and record our first EP!!!! I've been planning some stuff for it already and I am so ready to get into the studio and lay down our tunes for everyone! And because I'm just so excited, I'm going to give you a small sneak peak at the cover that @derosnec made for us!

![peak_cover.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZw8ZS133iFNUtcC5EvnXA7Wqh7tDp7aiyJdRYvhYikbi/peak_cover.jpg)

This album is going to be made with art and services provided by only Steemians! All the art/pictures are from steemians like @derosnec, @jasonrussell, @melodyrussell, and @soundwavesphoton! Our label is Circle of Death Records which is ran by @lk666, the recording will be done by @landingpadstudio, and the mixing and mastering will be done by @harrisonmir! I want to show the world that Steemit and the Steemit Local Music Society on Discord is the place to find services like this and anything else you may need to make your music and dreams come true! If you dream it, you can do it! Thank you to everyone who has jumped in to help us make ours come true! I can't wait to share it with all of you in Steemland!

Thank you sweetie! Gotta love spring time storms! It rained on us through about half or more of our trip home tonight... but it wasn't super heavy. Great lightning show though! Haha!
