Wow, am I ever tired today... you'd think it was a Monday the way my brain doesn't want to start up and get going. I finally gave in a bought some coffee a few minutes ago, and even with five packets of sugar it tastes bitter. It never tastes like that at home.. haha.
Anyway, if you've read previous posts you're probably wondering how my weekend went. It went great. The two days we took our students to the 3 Mile Project went well, and then my sister and I were lucky enough to get in the doors at the concert we waited in line for. The concert was definitely the highlight of the weekend. The bands that were there were: Skillet, Newsong, Peter Furler, Sanctus Real, Kari Jobe, Building 429, Group 1 Crew, Dara Maclean, For King and Country, and We As Human. The speaker was Nick Hall and master illusionist Brock Gill was there. It was an awesome concert and we were super lucky to get in the doors! I recorded a lot of song clips from the different bands, but of course my camera died during Skillet's first song. That was ok though, I've already seen them, and my sister used her camera to take video. Between the two of us, we had it covered. All the bands put on a great show, and we ended up with some pretty good seats to enjoy the night.
Here's a little story for you: We had just walked in and were navigating through people to see all the tables. We heard an unfamiliar band playing during the pre-show, so we walked into the arena to look. Well, three feet from me, leaning against the wall just watching the other band, was one of Sanctus Real's guitarists. Just chilling before the show. I got to meet the band and get my picture with them in high school, but my sister had never seen them. So I motioned to her, asked him, and got her picture with him! It was neat to walk in and within ten minutes get a picture, and crazy that that is the only picture one of us got with a band. We did get Building 429 to sign some papers, but it was too busy after the concert to do much else.
Overall, it was a great concert. This computer doesn't have a card reader, so I can't post pictures yet. They'll be up soon though!

Whirlwinds
Well, another crazy weekend is about to begin. This weekend will contain many events: two trips to GR with the youth group, one with my sister, and the hookup of cable/internet at our house. We're ready for non-stop crazy weekend!
We're taking the youth group to a place called the 3 Mile Project. It's basically a giant facility used as a hangout place on weekends where students can go to be safe and foster relationships, and, of course, be kids :) Check out the website, 3mileproject.com. Middle and High School are different nights, so that's why we're going two separate days. We'll also be traveling with another nearby church that we do other activities with. It sounds like it's going to be a very fun two nights, and I'm anxious to see the facility and how it impacts our students.
Saturday morning our cable/internet is getting hooked up, finally! It's so weird to not have internet or any working television channels. We have a tv, but we're limited to movies and dvds. We've watched more Walker Texas Ranger, A Team, and NCIS in the past two months than I have combined for the last five years. It will be nice to have options, and even nice to be able to see the news.. haha.
My last trip for the weekend to GR is with my sister. We're going to a big concert called Winter Jam to see Skillet. We saw them back in June and they were awesome in concert, so we're hoping to get in on Sunday. Tickets are only sold at the door, so we'll be heading down after church on Sunday to wait in line for a few hours. I just hope the weather is good enough to stand and wait. I went to Winter Jam in high school once, and it was a neat experience, so I really hope we can get in so my sister can have that experience also. Below is a picture of the band Skillet. They're really good. Search them on YouTube and take a listen. (Note: their music is a bit heavier)
