We're in the band?!?!

LOOK!! LOOK!! LOOOOOOOOOOK at Carrie and I!
Just hanging out with the band!



You are probably thinking that we are actually IN THIRD DAY now, aren't you?
Oh, how I wish!!!
And just so you know, WE DID OFFER.
Apparently they are still thinking about it, because we haven't heard back yet.

And, before you make fun of our matching T-Shirts...
those absolutely adorable Third Day t-shirts (compliments of Carrie) were a very integral part of us getting this TOTALLY UNPLANNED opportunity to meet our very most favorite band!

I will spare you all the details of HOW we got to meet Third Day.
And I won't bore you with the "line-by-line" details of our conversation with them (did I mention we got to HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH THIRD DAY??)
But I WILL share with you these important highlights:

-we made them laugh (they really did..and I think not just AT us, but WITH us!)
-we reassured them that we are both happily married women with families...we just happen to LOVE their music
-Carrie captured some video of this most happy moment!
-it is entirely possible that we got autographs :)
-we did, FOR REAL, offer to do back up singing on their next album/concert

On a more serious note, meeting Third Day in person was an awesome blessing. They were warm, friendly, genuine and funny.

OH...and the concert?
Take a look:

Please pray for Paps!

Chad's dad ("Paps") is having heart surgery today. He is having a 3 vessel bipass.

Please pray for surgery to go well.
And for a speedy recovery!


UPDATE (2:45 pm): Surgery went VERY well. Chad and his mom have been able to see Paps once. Praise God! Thanks for your prayers...please keep him on your list.

For a brief moment I considered "live blogging"...

I would have to check the archives, but I do not think that I have ever "live blogged" before. I am not sure the I have ever really been motivated to write about what I am doing "at this moment"...

Until last night.
I thought about it.
And then decided I would take way too much effort (you know...like getting UP and walking across the room to get my laptop.)

But I SO wanted to share with SOMEONE just how much fun I was having. And I would have called one of you...but that would have taken me getting up to find the phone.

Picture this:
Me.
In bed.
Watching the Olympics (I need to stop here to thank Chad for moving the TV into our bedroom last night. Only for the Olympics. And then it will be removed. I have just never been a fan of a TV in our bedroom.)
Anyway...back to my Utopia:

Me.
In bed.
Watching the Olympics.
Quedoba's chips and pico de gallo!!
Followed by Premium M&M's. (the Raspberry Almond ones)
Leaning back against my new pillow.

Seriously.
I am getting all warm and fuzzy just remembering it now.

I don't know...maybe you just had to be there.
But that would have gotten crowded for sure!!

:) Have a great day.

How do you like your eggs?

We're thinking "FARM FRESH" sounds good!
Look what the girls have been up to.
We aren't sure WHICH girls (I won't tell you how many are out there...you will have to stop in and see for yourself)...but we've had 6 eggs so far!

:)

Sunny side up for me!
