He used to go around saying that he was going to marry Tori, his sister's best friend. However, since he's started to school, he's had a change of heart. Here is an excerpt from the conversation at church last night: STEVEN: Tori, I don't want to marry you, anymore. TORI: Okay. STEVEN: When I get married, I'm gonna marry something else. Priceless. 2008-09-08 http://www.pleonast.com/user/bryanharwell?l=5&entryID=563046 Just when you think things will never go your way, sometimes something will happen that will help things to turn around. (Huh?) Anyway, something like that has happened. It's just meeting the right people that will help make things happen. Everything is much better now. I'm in a better mood and I'm looking forward to some great things. Hopefully, in the near future, I will be doing more music, possibly for a living. Well, anyway, that's what this is all about. That's the American dream, right? Doing what you love for a living? I'd love to do music for a living. I think that day will come. But for now... Mechanic work! 2008-08-15 http://www.pleonast.com/user/bryanharwell?l=5&entryID=561783 Yes, right now I'm on autopilot (see the movie "Click"). I feel like I am, anyway. It's just go to work and come back home. The same thing over and over and over. I have the music thing that's not ready and I feel like I don't even have time to think about it. I feel like I don't have any time for myself. So, here we are just getting by. Just puttering along. I need a major break or a change. I just don't know how to make that happen. Thoughts? 2008-08-12 http://www.pleonast.com/user/bryanharwell?l=5&entryID=557057 That's what I am. I went back to work and worked 20 days in a row without a day off. I've been playing guitar in my spare time, some. I haven't written any more songs, however I have finished recording my album. I listened to a rough mix of some of the songs and the sound is really good. My kids start to school next week. Megan goes to the third grade. Steven starts kindergarten! My little boy is gonna go to school for the first time. As for Justin, he'll have to wait 5 years before he goes to school. Ah, well. Someone needs to stay home and keep Holly company while I'm at work all the time. My shoulder is doing quite well. I've been able to manage doing my job with almost no problems at all. Thanks again for all of your prayers on my behalf. The future. The future? Why should I bring that up? Well, I'm looking forward to my album coming out very soon. And I'm hoping to get some live gigs going, too. Several people are already asking me about my music. I have a goo... 2008-07-31 http://www.pleonast.com/user/bryanharwell?l=5&entryID=548257 I'm now taking part in 50-90. It's where you write 50 songs in 90 days from July 4 to October 1. I have 47 songs to go. I'm back at work. I'm on day shift and things couldn't be better. I feel so much better now. Thanks to you all for you prayers. Holly's doing better, now. Her C-Section is healing well. I've finished recording my album. Next is mixing and mastering. If you're interested in a copy, email me. It's supposed to be released in early October. I guess that's all for now. Ya'll have a great day! 2008-07-08 http://www.pleonast.com/user/bryanharwell?l=5&entryID=541215 Here are some pictures of my son, Justin.

He was 9 lbs and 4 oz. He was 20 3/4" long. So Holly turned 30 and had a baby all in one day. Both Mama and Baby are doing well. Thanks to all of you for your thoughts and prayers. Pictures coming soon! 2008-06-15 http://www.pleonast.com/user/bryanharwell?l=5&entryID=537110 Well, last Thursday, I had surgery on my left shoulder. I'm stable, but very sore. I start therapy Monday morning. Also, I'm taking Holly to the doctor Monday afternoon. If she has not had the baby by then, they will be inducing very soon. I know this is short, but this is the latest update. We've been so busy lately. I really appreciate all the prayers that have been offered on our behalf. Thanks a lot! Have a good day! Coming soon: Justin Cole Harwell 2008-06-08 http://www.pleonast.com/user/bryanharwell?l=5&entryID=534943 I've been feeling bad for a while. But I'm starting to get better. I've had lots of problems, which I won't go into full details, that have really bogged me down. I still haven't had surgery on my shoulder, yet. That's coming, I just don't know when. We still don't have a baby yet, but Holly is expecting to go at any minute. I went for the greater part of 8 weeks without doing any work on my album. It's been difficult. I've been doing well just to make it to work and back, much less anything else. I started working on it some more today. I finished 3 more songs. I still have 4 songs left to work on. Then, I'll be finished with the recording part of it. There's a lot more stuff after that, but it will be worth it. I've been working on my album for nearly a year. A lot has happened in the past year. I think this will be good. Well, at least I won't have to look back and say "I wish I'd done that." I'm actually doing it. Well, I guess that's all for now. I ho... 2008-06-02 http://www.pleonast.com/user/bryanharwell?l=5&entryID=523898 Yes, we are in our final month of waiting for baby. I can't wait until he gets here. I'm so excited! We go for another appointment next week. Yes, we are now going every two weeks. Another thing is my shoulder. I have a bone spur in it that caused the tendonitis. Tendonitis was just a symptom of the real problem. So, there's good news and bad news. Good News: I've been going to therapy 3 times a week. My shoulder is feeling a lot better. I will continue therapy for 3 more weeks. Bad News: I will most likely have to have surgery on my shoulder to remove the spur. I cannot raise my arm very high because of this. It's very painful. I raise my arm up so high and it pops and it *hurts* when that happens. Anyway, that's what's going on right now. Ya'll have a great day! 2008-05-02
