Concert Fun
admin April 1st, 2005
Ok, so yesterday was super great! To begin with, work went really well and I felt like I got a lot done. It was such a beautiful day too. In the afternoon I went to get fruit freezes with the other counselors. I had peach-strawberry and it was YUMMY! Jared and I went to pick up our Market Day order that afternoon at the junior high, and we got a phone call from Steve Shandley. Well Steve and Amanda were on their way to St. Louis for the Jeremy Camp/Mercy Me concert…and they had an extra ticket. So, I was nice and told Jared he could go…that it would be good for him to hang out with Steve. (Though inside I wanted to hang out with them too!) So I did the good wife thing and said goodbye and went back to work. So when I walk into the office, Ryan (another counselor) is talking about how he and his wife and a friend are going to the concert and they had an extra ticket (because they’d won 4 tickets). So yay…they give it to me so I can go with Jared and the Shandley’s! I quickly ran home to change and we hit the road so we could meet up with Amanda and Steve in Edwardsville. We cram into our fancy new red truck and rush off to the concert. We missed the first opening band, but that was ok. Steve ran sound on Jeremy’s tour last fall, so their road manager escorted us to the front for some great seats. After Jeremy was done playing, Steve took us back to hang out with Jeremy and the band…how cool is that? I’m not a crazy band person, but it was fun to meet everyone. It’s great to see that people in bands (especially Christian bands) can be down to earth and just as on fire for God off-stage as they are on-stage. We watched the beginning and the end of the Mercy Me show…which was awesome as well. We hung out with the band for awhile after the show too, and then it was time to hit the road. All in all…it was a fabulous night! Very random and last minute…but awesome. We haven’t seen Amanda and Steve in forever…and we missed them. So yay…a concert…good friends…my hubby…super night had by all! And now I shall get back to work and enjoy the rest of this Friday. Adios!

aww man! I was just telling Steve the other night how much I miss hanging out with the Smiths and Shandleys. Dude, GA sucks! I wish we were all getting together tonight for some pizza and board games. That sounds like so much fun! Dang it seminary in stupid Georgia where people are dumb and un-fun. Poo. Anyway, just wanted you to know that I’m missing you guys a LOT right now.
ahh, Christian Origins. I must say, that entry got me a little weepy. I love to write papers while doing things, rather than just writing. Today I’m watching You’ve Got Mail! hehe! I LOVE that movie! 152 insights to my soul!
