Vacation Time

So I am packing for our week long trip in the tropics. We will first board the Carnival Sensation for a 4 day cruise to the Bahamas and then we will spend a few days at Aunt Sheri and Uncle Dave's relaxing. THERE IS SOMEBODY HOUSE-SITTING AT OUR HOUSE THE WHOLE WEEK AND WATCHING OUR TWO FEROCIOUS DOGS! (disclaimer for any looney toons that stop by my blog!)

I will be back with LOTS of pictures, hopefully a tan and fully relaxed....OH...and looking forward to seeing my most favorite youngest sister and baby Noah back from Japan!!!

Oh, and...

...I have finally taken too many pictures for my computer to handle! I did not even know that was possible!! But, take it from me, it is. I got on the trusty old computer last night to upload my 250 photos from our day with Jess, Matt, Jack and Lorelei (yes, that is what I average on an outing) and my computer told me there was no more space! I checked out my C drive and sure enough...no free space! I about lost it. So....I am off to Best Buy on my lunch break for them to tell me how to store my pictures to free up some disk space on the pooter!

I love taking pictures :)

Below you will see the reason...

...that my blogs are few and far between! She is keeping me busy. There are so many things since Easter I want to blog about....I will get there, one of these days!

Video Time

Here are a few videos from the concert. They are short and sweet...and AWESOME! Enjoy :)
Here is Israel:

When Chris came out!

Here he is singing "How Great is Our God" in Russian. He did a world tour last year and learned this song in every language of the places he went. How cool is that?!
">

This song will be played/sung at my funeral (morbid I know...but I'm ok with that)...it is called "I Will Rise"...this is the chorus:

And I hear the voice of many angels sing, worthy is the Lamb
And I hear the cry of every longing heart, worthy is the Lamb

(I tell you what, I can't wait to see Jesus in Heaven! Maybe that is where I will meet Chris Tomlin..hee hee

Chris and Israel

Yay!!! We hollered loud enough that he came back out for an encore!

It pays to be a FAN~atic!

Because you get FRONT ROW tickets at Chris Tomlin's concert!! So when Chris Tomlin's new CD, Hello Love, came out, naturally, I pre-ordered it. For the lucky ones who pre-ordered, you got first dibs on concert tix for his Hello Love tour! AND I GOT FRONT ROW TICKETS!!

A few posts ago I got into what a HUGE CT fan I am...so I won't go into detail. Here are a few pictures from our evening with Chris Tomlin, Israel Houghton and New Breed and Christy Nockels. It was amazing, wonderful, Spirit-filled...there are not enough words. Hopefully the pictures will do it justice (they won't, but that's okay).

This was their way to advertise the CT merchandise. These kids were SO cute. I think they are the kids of one of CT's band members.

And Chris comes out!!!!!!!

There was some true and genuine worship going on my friends!

Chris talking about One Million Can (http://www.onemillioncan.org/)

I love these shots!

Introducing the band :)

Israel came out at the end and they sang a song or two together. SO good!

The encore!

They got CT with silly string...I bet they were so fun to tour with!

So...there you have it...our front row experience! It was so fun and I am so thankful Tim and I were able to go. CT is amazing in concert and I recommend everyone try to see him sometime. Until next concert, Chris Tomlin..... hee hee :)

ps: I am going to post some videos next. I wanted to post them in this post, but with 60+ pictures...I am overwhelmed...whew!
