Current mood:
indescribable
The time has come.
This is extremely hard for me to write. It’s also extremely hard for me to do what I have to do in this situation. My last show before I take my maternity leave will be July 3, 2010 at Cornerstone Music Festival on the Chasing Canadia Stage at 2:30pm.
I am progressing into my third trimester and although I feel great enough to continue doing vocals, my doctor insists I take a break. These last few shows have been extremely hard because I know with every show that passes I am closer to taking this time off. This band has captured my entire being for the last 3 years and it’s very bittersweet to hand over the reigns to someone else. I know you all will enjoy the vocal stylings of Chris McKinney (Gnashing of Teeth), we are very blessed to have him be a part of this ministry. I will still continue to come to shows and hang out with all of you until my 36th week of pregnancy (God willing), then it’s only right to stay close to my doctor and hospital.
Please continue coming out to shows and supporting local music. I know it will be different to see a man up there screaming my lyrics but I think it’ll be a good refreshment for you all too. Chris will also be performing new songs we write as well as the songs off “With All That I Am.” I will be practicing to keep my voice strong, writing to keep new songs flowing, and helping out in anyway I can. Don’t be a stranger! I’m still very much a part of The Rose Hill.
Also, since I only have 9 shows left, the last LOCAL show I’ll be playing is this Saturday June 5th at The Underground in Forest Park (see flyer). Please, please come out and see me if you can’t drive more than an hour to see me anywhere else.
Finally, I’ll close with: See you back on stage in November.
God bless each and every one of you, I love you all.
This show is an all day festival, we play the second block starting at 5:30pm.

Even though I've known about this for like ever, this was still kind of sad to read lol but keep your head up because, just like Katie said, November is going to be here sooner than you think, and the feelings your going to get from that first show back are going to make it all the more worth it. It's going to be tough, but I know you'll persevere and make it through just fine, you got this :) and besides, just like Katie said, you can chill with us at the merch table in the meanwhile...until of course we drive you insane, which with me and her is bound to happen, don't even try to deny it lol but anyway, that first show back is going to be here sooner than you think, and those few months off with your brand new baby girl will make the wait that much more worth it, plus these last shows/festivals before your leave are going to be freaking awesome!
GOOD LUCK MISS U XXX
Beth!! I'll miss you. But good luck with the pregnancy.<3
