fabulous weekend

oh I have great friends... This whole week has been completely packed with work and right after work, hanging out with the girls.

fantastic.

I've been so incredibly inspired this week... going to different cities, and drinking tons of coffee and talking- tons and tons of talking. Learning and giving opinions, mending broken hearts and figuring out what life holds... just a fantastic week, it reminds me that I'm alive.

Thursday night Heather and I went to see the boys play in Mt. Holly, about an hour away from here? Philmont was great, they played with two other bands... Our Hearts Hero and High Flight Society (they had the coolest merch booth)... I just love sitting and watching the people enjoy the music, and afterwards talking with the guys in the band, and their girlfriends/wives... its great its what I've dreamed about since I was young... 

Friday night, I met Heather at Caribou, we surprised Carmen! Who gave us some free coffee... (wahoo!) it never happens to me... but this time... Carmen loves us sooo much... and there was noone else there... so we sat on the couches and chairs and just chatted... like old times... haha...
Heather and I made cow masks for free food from chick-fil-a!! Wahoo... I have eaten free ALLL day long.. :D so amazing.
We brought our food back to Caribou and enjoyed it with Carmen... and just chilled...

Afterwards Heather and I checked out looked at canvases and paints! Picking out colors for my canvas that Heather and Carmen (and I'm going to try) to paint! I'm so excited... its going to be grand... We went to World Market... they have fantastic foods, couches, scarves, wall hangings, wine glasses and such there... and I saw Jared... I haven't seen him in quite sometime... so we were able to catch up and chat for a bit...

I was pleased to find out the fountain is working again at Sycamore Commons, so we grabbed a park bench and just talk about our men and our lives... It has been such a great weekend.

and today, I got a package with a letter from Tim!!!!!!! I can't stop smiling.

Good weekend are always great :) Sounds like you had a wonderful one.

So, you like music? My mom owns a music venue here in Pensacola, FL and those bands you mentioned sound really familiar. I think that High Flight Society has played here or is booked to come here, I dunno. Yeah, I love it too. It's an awesome ministry that we have. We get to meet all kinds of people and refresh the bands. We cook for them and often times they stay at our house. We love it so much.

they have been on.. "Drop in and Rock Out" tour and just played/ (i think it got rained out) in Fla. they said the stage over looked the ocean.. sounds pretty sweet if you ask me...

and YES. music.. is probably one of the best ministries there are... and I will have to check out your venue page... it should be really strange if that's where the show was...

Hey Emily!

That's really awesome. Yeah, music is great. Ever since we've opened our venue, God has done so much! It's the only christian venue here in town. However we allow secular bands and stuff but we have a contract they must sign and abide by. No cursing, suggestive lyrics, drug, alcohol etc. We provide hot meals, a fully stocked green room and a usually a place for them to stay. It's amazing. Haha and all the kids who were against us at the beginning because we were "christians" are our volunteers. It's crazy and totally God how everything has happened. I love it so much.

Yes, I'm going to Mexico on a missions trip! I went to a different part of Mexico last year and this year I am going again. I am sooo excited, I love it there so much. I worked in a spanish church for a year and fell in love with the people. I know it is going to be very difficult for me to come back :)
