Since we had to cancel all plans to tour and do live shows, most of these days in quarantine have been spent working on a lot of other fun music-related things. My favorite one of those things has been learning how to produce music. Luckily I’ve been stuck inside with my fiancé, Darrick Atwater, who is a music producer and audio engineer. He’s a really amazing teacher too and makes learning how to produce really fun! I’ve also really enjoyed spending more time outside every day to get exercise, since the gym is closed. We have a huge parking lot behind our house so Darrick and I MIGHT be getting really good at Frisbee… only time will tell (we’re actually really terrible at it! haha).

Going back to this time last year, who would have thought we’d all be in this kind of situation right now though? Living in quarantine in 2020 wasn’t exactly what most of us had planned to be doing this year. We didn’t plan to lose jobs or loved ones or have to spend months living completely cut off from all forms of human interaction. We can look at the bright side and breathe the fresh air outside, but the truth is that things are going to take a while to get moving again.
