What an awesome image.. David Crowder on keytar.. :o) How wonderful.

This concert was simply amazing. It was fun just going with all my friends and having a good time. Shane and Shane were awesome.. as always.. David Crowder just rocked my socks off.. again... There's no way to even start telling you about the concert. It's just one of those things you have to experience.

The trip home was QUITE the experience... I was so tired and I only made it home by the grace of God and Menges talking to me the whole way. We did however, meet up with another group of our friends who were on the side of the road ... You can't really see what's happening.. but there are two police officers there.. and Laura's booty is kind of blocking the reason they're out. It's a flat tire.. big time flatness.. Menges and I stopped to take photos and check up on them. They were good to go - no major problems other than being stranded on the side of the road with a flat tire and no idea how to get it off of the vehicle. :o) (I directed them in that part..kind of)

Overall it was a fun, fun night! It made the rest of the week seem very long, but if I had to do it all over again... I would!!

I know I haven't posted in a week, but I am waiting to get my pictures from the DCB Concert off my dad's digital camera. So be patient.. an update is coming soon!!

Yay! Today was Astroworld! Got up this morning, running late of course and headed to Houston. Had to sit in traffic for almost an hour just to make a u-turn and then get parked. We walked to the front of the park, got in and headed immediately for Dungeon Drop. We had to wait in line for probably 50 minutes, maybe a little less, but it was fun! Then we walked around to XLR8 and I rode that backwards for the first time ever. I gotta say, I don't really like going backwards.. That line was close to an hour wait as well. Then we went to Greased Lightnin' and waited for .. yup, you guessed it, an hour. Headed for Batman's escape and waited in line there for an hour and a half! Insane, I tell you ... On our way to the other side of the park, we stopped and grabbed a funnel cake with powdered sugar only and ate it in front of the next ride, Serial Thriller. Our wait on this ride was close to an hour and 15 minutes. At this point, it was 6:30pm and we were trying to make a dinner date with Steph, but it didn't happen unfortunately. We were just too far away from her and wouldn't have made it to her house before she had to leave for a par-tay. So we drove home and then I got to play with Jackie's cousins for a little while.

I think the lines were so long because of 2 reasons. #1: It's the second to last weekend that Astroworld will be open, so people were taking advantage of that fact (myself included) #2: There was a company picnic being held today, so that's just even more people. I also remembered what I love and hate about amusement parks... a couple of things I love are the social time and the thrill of the rides. A couple of things I hate... waiting in line for one hour only to be on the ride itself for no more than 1 minute, 30 sec... also.. a vast majority of people who go to amusement parks are really trashy and rude and have no care or concern for your personal space or your hearing. Example.. as we were waiting in line for Serial Thriller, there were a few girls, roughly 13 yrs old, who were behind us. Granted, they are 13.. but they did not know how to stand still and stop bumping into us and were screaming a good portion of the time we were in line. Oh well.. it's not a big deal - not worth worrying about. Overall it was a fun day and I enjoyed getting to hang out with Jackie since we never see each other anymore.
I am/was somewhat bummed because there were a few rides we didn't get to go on becuase we simply didn't have time. We didn't get to ride the Viper, our favorite ride, or the Cyclone, which is really not scary, but it's just one of those that you have to go on every time. We also didn't get to ride the Looping Starship because it was closed or the Ultra Twister. Um.. I almost always ride the Serpent, (which is a kiddie ride, but it's fun anyway) but we didn't have time. It was really almost sad to walk around and see stuff shut down. There were lots of concession stands not open, and a few rides that were not being operated. Yeah, sad is a good word to use. But.. I'm sure some company will open up a new amusement park in the Houston area. It just is a good money maker.
Tomorrow I am going to watch A&M soccer beat the hell out of Texas Tech. And I've also got to clean my area of the house since we are having company next weekend (yay Whitney!). Monday is the David Crowder Band, Shane & Shane concert and I am so pumped about this!! I can't wait! David Crowder in concert is just .. energizing and awesome. I'm so ready Freddie.. :o)

Stolen from Kaylie's info .. "Love without rules."

This has always been something that I have strived (striven?) for in my life. It's not easy, by any means, but we are called by Jesus to "love without rules." He tells us in the gospel to love our enemies; obviously we cannot have rules or guidelines to our love if we are told to love our enemies. This is just a thought from my mind at midnight ... It's a cool statement and since the author is unknown, I'll be using it frequently. :o)

Be sure to look for me on Friday at school .. I'll be the stud with the super cool jersey .. thank you Kat Stock!

I know I haven't posted in well over a week, but I just haven't had the energy or the time and there really hasn't been a whole heck of a lot to tell you about. Just keep me in your prayers as I try to get a glimpse of the future - like the summer and the spring. :o) Love ya!

It's been a long week for some reason. So today's verse of the day according to BibleGateway.com is "O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water." Psalm 63:1 I've been so tired lately and I can't tell what the deal is. It's a mixture of new allergies (because of the cold front) and of medicine and of crazy days at school. The past two days have been different schedules because of circumstances so that makes the day hard too. So please continue to keep me in your prayers as I am adjusting to day to day living. I'm looking forward to the weekend because of Shella's wedding and seeing Kappa Phi girls! Also I get to see Kat Farr from UMArmy because she has a soccer game this weekend in town. So it's gonna be a good, but busy, weekend!

REQUEST(S) !!


I am going to Breakaway on Tuesday and I'd love to have anybody join me! Holler back.

I had a great weekend in Midland, wish I wasn't so darn quiet around my family, but oh well. Got the cousin married and now I have a new cousin(in-law)!!! She's a fun one! However, I did drive all the way home (without trading drivers, thank you) and I have to be at the school tomorrow morning at 7:45 because I have a job and I have to go to work tomorrow. haha.
