Hey, all!!!
So I dropped off the face of the blog-world for a few days, but it's OK because none of you seem to have noticed. ;) And now I'm back! With nothing much to say or whatever, so here's for some totally random bits of my ordinary life.
First of all, I'll say that I'm working on a "deeper" post that I'll try to finish and post tomorrow. But I'm not making promises. Because my plans don't always work out!
My grandparents (mom's parents) were here for a couple days this weekend. We enjoyed hanging out with them--they were a welcome bright spot in our cold, rainy week!! Yep, it's just about rained for almost 3 days straight. :P I know we need rain, but does it all have to come at once? And why does it have to get cold when it rains? I like hot and rainy much better...
But, this particular time it didn't bother us a whole lot because we just hung around watching videos of Hawai'i that my grandparents brought with them (they were just in Hawai'i a little over a week ago), a video on Niagara Falls that we got when we were there last year, the Gaither Vocal Band Reunion DVDs (both of them), part of the George Younce tribute video, and the Rocky Mountain Homecoming. :D Lots of great music and awesome scenery, we were happily entertained.
Oh, and of course we were also reading. Mom and Dad brought out the R.M. Ballantyne books, which none of us have read and which the boys didn't know we had until yesterday. So we were all thoroughly engrossed in our books for a while yesterday afternoon. Mr. Ballantyne was an incredibly gifted writer! His ability to paint a word picture is amazing to me. I'm reading "The Dog Crusoe: A Tale of the Western Plains", and it is great.
Hmmm, let's see, what else? Did y'all notice that I've changed my background, etc. again? :D TheCutestBlogontheBlock.com is back up and they just have SOOOO many cute things to choose from, I'm sure I'll be changing my background about every month. I like the variety/change anyway. :D
It's only 20 more days until the Gaither Homecoming crew comes to Ft. Worth, and Mom and I are going to see them Friday night, April 3rd. I am SOO excited about seeing EH&SS again, and the new GVB (complete with Mark Lowry! I checked, all 5 members should be there), and some of the other artists. Jeff & Sheri Easter, Ivan Parker, The Isaacs, The Hoppers, Lynda Randle....they're all supposed to be there, and others, too!! It's going to be awesome. And THEN, on Sunday night, April 5th, Mom, Jonathan, a friend of mine from the EH&SS MB, and I are going to see EH&SS at a solo concert in Richardson. I'm thinking that weekend is going to be fun with a capital F-U-N!!! :D Oh, and Jonathan is so cute and excited about it...Mom surprised him with the tickets the other night, and he got all excited and started asking, "when? when?" She told him the date, and he came over to me and asked, "Can I have a sticker to put on my calendar on April the 5th?!" Of course he got a sticker! I figure that after the concert, I'll have a picture of him and Tim Duncan to post... :D
I spent a good part of Wednesday afternoon re-recording and re-mixing a new demo of mine and Raluca's newest song, "Love Did". Apparently, the first time I recorded it I was off-key in a couple places. :D (Raluca has perfect pitch, so she keeps me on track) BTW, if you're interested, Raluca and I have started a new blog about our songs, etc., wherever God leads us next on this adventure that we think is so exciting. We don't want to forget any of it, and I think that people can be blessed by hearing how God is working in our lives, so we're "journaling" it--for us and for anyone who wants to read it. :D You can also listen to clips of our songs on there. It's at http://www.agod-thing.blogspot.com/.
Well, that's all I can think of (and probably more than you cared to know), so I'll sign off now. We're going to watch a surprise movie tonight when the boys get done taking their Saturday night showers. My parents are great about little things like this...well, actually, my parents are just great. Period. :D Love y'all! *hugs*
Hope y'all all have a great Saturday night and may your Sunday be richly blessed!
