-There have been many questions about Katelyn & I and our education. As some of you may already know, a lot of people from school have signed our guestbook saying things like "I will miss you" etc., and this is because Katelyn & I are now homeschooled. We are now taking our classes online through Fairborn City Schools. We have certainly NOT dropped out of school! This will help us with our traveling and recording our CD by not having so much stress with our schoolwork, but we will continue with our education and graduate from high school.
-If you haven't already, feel free to sign our guestbook. Just click the link to the left. Also, we have a new message board. Feel free to post a message there. We would love to chat with you!
