Let's see....

yesterday april, michele and I made it over to the carolines concert in the park. It was pretty fun. we took a picnic lunch and just relaxed. We saw Aaron Shepherd play, and then another band, and then the carolines (and then we lefffft there before the nu metal band got up to play). It was a fun thing to fill my afternoon.

Church was pretty great today, though I had to sing a duet with my mom, and I HATE performing like that... I was shaking the whole time. It went fine.. but grr.. Then we shared about our trip to Mexico which went really well and everybody complimented the group on it.

My two favorite parts about church this morning:

1-Dustin used "Gone" by Switchfoot in our slide show. C'mon- Switchfoot playing in church? I never thought it would happen.

2-Our congregation laughed so much this morning. It was a release, it was fun, it was fellowship. I'm glad my church is the kind that can crack jokes and laugh together.

I got my nichole nordeman cd back from April (after about FOUR FREAKIN' MONTHS!!) and i'm loving singing along all over again. This woman writes so honestly... she speaks things that I didn't think people sung about in CCM. She writes so many things that the Church needs to hear.

I have nothing to do today. I HAVE to go running tonight. I have to be at a job at 7:45 tomorrow, and i really don't want to get up at 5am. And i didn't run this morning because I got creeped out at the track, but that is a whole other story in and of itself.

"When someone else's education
plays upon my reservations
I'm the first to cave, I'm the first to bleed
If I abandon all that seeks
to make my faith informed and chic
would you, could you show yourself
to me?"-Nichole
