Its been a very long time since I last posted and I am very sorry to those of you who keep up w/me.  Oh, but the places I have been and the things I have seen couldn't be missed for the world. Highlights....did I hear someone ask for highlights?! Gladly. First, we all participated in our state fair this year, which was a blast. We also volunteered at 3 concerts and my dh and I celebrated 15yrs of marriage. Not bad, huh! It has been a very busy but wonderful 4 wks and I'll try to re-cap below, so hold on its a whirlwind for sure. Sept 23th volunteered at the Chris Tomlin concert ~ totally awesome. we got to meet the band, get our shirts and cds autographed and had a totally amazing time w/the wonderful merch dude "Gregory Mark." Sept 28th the fair opens ~ this is the first day of an 11 day run w/the TSF (Tulsa State Fair). I worked the fair running a booth that sold "showbags" and the kiddos volunteered for me and the supervisor of the Just for Kids bldg. Tiring but great. Oct 2nd still at the fair and Kutless & Disciple are the concert attractions for the evening. Yes! They were awesome as usual. Enjoyed the entire show from the doorway of the Just for Kids bldg & I got paid to watch.  Oct 7th still at the fair ~ but I got to leave and volunteer at the Third Day concert ~ totally wonderful. It was Hyperstatic Union, David Crowder Band and Third Day ~ what a night. It was great and the merch dude "Tommy" was wonderful. Oct 8th last night of the fair and we were exhausted. Glad its over ~ goodbye for now. Oct 12th volunteer dinner ~ the theme was "Survivor" it was fun and entertaining. nice to see everyone outside of work though it was in the same bldg I had worked in for 11 straight days.  oh, well at least there was food and good company. Oct 19th my wedding anniversary ~ dh allowed me to volunteer at the Jeremy Camp concert. Yeah! I had a great time. I got to meet Jeremy and Adie (you know, his wife ~ former lead singer of Benjamin Gate) btw, she has a new cd out and she autographed my copy. They are a very nice couple and Hawk Nelson was great too, they autographed a pic for da boy ~ he's very happy w/it too. Later that evening, dh whisked me off to our wonderful suite at the Reniassance hotel ~ it was fabulous: feather pillows, comfy bed, large and spacious it was. I really enjoyed it. We even had a wonderful surprise gift ~ champagne and chocolate covered strawberries. What a treat! We aren't big on drinking but this was special ~ just the two of us.  Okay, thats it long, probably boring for some but thats the facts. Simple but oh soo wonderful. I have memories to last me a life time and I look forward to working w/all the merch guys again in the future ~ they were great. Oops, I forgot to mention "Danny," he's the merch guy for Jeremy & Adie. Have a great week! PS ~ Jeremy's new cd "Beyond Measure" will be in stores Oct 31st but you can pre-order @ Mardel's and online. Get yours and don't forget to catch these bands when they hit your city. |
