The Rock & Worship Roadshow

Here are picture from the concert my sister I went to on Sunday night! We had a blast! Since it was general admission, got there about two hours early. Even while standing around in line, we still had fun. About an hour before the doors opened, K-LOVE Radio started giving away free passes to get into the concert. They asked for random items (such as a Louisiana state quarter, a toothpick, a Q-tip, a Wal-Mart receipt from the day before, or a bottle of red nail polish) and, if you were the first one to show them the item, you got two free passes! When they asked for a CD from one of the artists that was part of the tour, I grabbed my Adam Cappa CD and handed it to Tori (because she was closer to the K-LOVE tent). She took off running and came back in a minute with two passes! Yay! :)

 And now... On with the show! The singers/bands that were there were: Tim Timmons, Rhett Walker Band, Luminate, Family Force Five, Kutless, Adam Cappa, Jeremy Camp, Tedashii, and MercyMe. The show was great and we had so much fun! I can definitely say that we screamed the most during Adam Cappa's performance! We had met Adam about a year and a half ago at the We Cry Out tour (which was Jeremy Camp, Francesca Battistelli, and Adam Cappa) and we've been fans ever since. :)

And we got to meet Adam Cappa again! :)

After the show, we got to meet Adam and the guys from Kutless. Although we got their autographs, we didn't get a picture with Kutless.

As I said earlier, we had a ton of fun...even though our car died several times on the way home and we ended up having to call our dad to come pick us up at midnight because we were stranded in the middle of the road and our car wouldn't start! Definitely an adventure... While waiting on our dad, we passed the time by singing Adam Cappa's "The Rescue" and Jeremy Camp's "Reckless" just about as loud as we could. :)

TobyMac Hits Deep

Brandon Heath

Friday night was amazing!! My sisters, my cousin, and I all were able to go to the TobyMac concert. Traffic was crazy so we got there about 30 minutes later than we had planned (good thing we planned on being an hour early!) but it was still tons of fun. There were so many amazing artists there: Jamie Grace, Britt Nicole, Mandisa, Chris August, Group 1 Crew, Brandon Heath, and of course TobyMac and his band.

Britt Nicole

For the last song, everyone on the tour came out and sang a Christmas song.

And look who we got to meet! :)

Britt Nicole! <3 Love her!

Jamie Grace! This girl is awesome! By the way, did you know she was homeschooled all her life?

Brandon Heath! My cousin, and two older sisters had met Brandon while Olivia and I were waiting to see Britt. Olivia and I wanted to meet Brandon but we walked up to his table right as a security guy came and said, "Okay, Brandon's gotta leave now." But Brandon saw that I had my camera out and asked if we wanted a picture and when we said yes, he told the security guy to wait and actually had him take the picture for us... :) It was pretty awesome.

A Trip to the Zoo (and Other Random Things)

 Last Friday (most of) my family and I took a quick and quite unplanned trip to the zoo. We were only there for 1 1/2 to 2 hours because Livi had soccer practice but we still had a lot of fun! The BR zoo has a petting zoo where they have goats, sheep, rabbits, ducks, cattle, prairie dogs, wallabies, and bats. (Although you can't actually pet the bats or prairie dogs... and the wallabies never get close enough for you to pet them.) But you can actually go inside the area where they keep the goats and sheep.

And... the goat ate my paper :/

 

 

 

Since then, not much has been happening. Just the normal stuff - work, school, and housecleaning. But tomorrow... I GET TO SEE KARI JOBE LIVE!!!! :) So excited! All Sons and Daughters and Kari Jobe will be at my church tomorrow night! And, speaking of concerts, two of my cousins, Tori, Olivia, and I are going to the tobMac Hits Deep concert at the end of November. I'm really excited because I LOVE all of the bands/artists that will be. Lineup includes: tobyMac, Britt Nicole, Chris August, Group 1 Crew, Jamie Grace, Brandon Heath, and Mandisa. Can't wait! :)

While writing this post, I've been listening to Christmas music and drinking peppermint hot chocolate from a Christmas mug. Plus, I'm excited because, due to rain, the weather has cooled down quite a bit... it's only 76 degrees right now and tomorrow the high is only 82! When you've been experiencing 100 degree weather for the past 5 months, when the temperature is lower than 90, it feels amazing!

Is it Christmas yet?
