update photos!

there wasn't a whole lot of action throughout the race-but here's my "favorite" pulling out of a crash-#48 Jimmy Johnson

...update!

man, so much has happened in such a short amount of time. so here's a little update.

andy and i visited my mom and the twins last weekend-they are doing great! we went to david's bridal and andy has decided that they need a "guys only" room. he couldn't see me in the dresses we picked out-so very patiently he waited outside, because there's absolutely no where in the store for him to wait. we (my mom and i) had a good time looking at dresses though.

we were also given tickets to the daytona 500 and although we're not avid race fans we did have a good time. it's incredible how loud and fast the cars are. it's much easier to watch a race on t.v. then to actually be sitting in the stands. the not so fun part was standing in line for 3 hours after to race to be shuttled to the car. well, needless to say, we made it and can now cross this off of our "to do before we die" list. (not that we really have one)

andy moved into our future house this week also. it's so nice to know that we know where we'll live as we begin our life as a married couple. it's close to everything we need it to be close to, except for family-we'll continue to visit and now they have a place to visit as well!

it's been an exciting couple of weeks and wedding plans are getting more and more concrete. have a great day!!

So Close, Yet So Far Away

Me and Lindsey just got back from a visit with her Mom's in Sarasota. We had a good visit. Hung out with the twins, went out to dinner and today Lindsey and her Mom shopped for wedding dresses (she can tell you more about that later).

Tomorrow for the first time me and Lindsey will go to the Daytona 500. The secretary at church (Teresa) her husband gave us tickets. So we will take full advantage of them. Say a little prayer for us...we know how to get to the track, we know our way around but we just have no idea about the parking situation. I did get some information from the newspaper but that's it. The traffic as always is expected to be terrible. It should be exciting though!!!

Call To Arms - Angels and Airwaves

Hey Everyone,

When Lindsey and I first meet one of the first concerts I invited her to go see with me was Angels and Airwaves. They were suppose to play an outdoor show in Clearwater...unfornatetly the show was cancelled due to rain and the stage started sinking into the ground. Now about 2 years later they came back around to Orlando last night and played an awesome show at the Hard Rock Love.

Angels and Airwaves is headed by Tom Delonge (Blink 182). Don't let that fool you though, they sound nothing like or act nothing like Blink. They put on a great show to say the least. The opening bands were kind of dragging but that all changed when AVA took the stage around 10:00PM. The lighting throughout the performance was incredable as they used many different types of LCD lighting. I couldn't believe the passion and stamina of the drummer either. The whole night he played with his whole heart and he is probably one of the best drummers in the music industry today. I am encouraged by what AVA stands for (changing the world) but believe there is still more to it then getting up on a stage and singing about it.


We sat up in the balcony and probably a good thing because Lindsey was really tired. Even so she doesn't like Angles and Airwaves too much she still went to the show with me and that's why I love her so much. She is still willing to do things I like even so she doesn't like them...I guess that's what having a relationship with someone is all about. She even bought me a shirt!!!!!

save the date!

well, if you're reading this and you still haven't heard. andy and i are tying the knot-above you will find a preview of our "save the date" card. it's pretty fun and designed by me, because i love pictures! our date is october 25th, in new smyrna beach, florida. we hope that you have stayed safe and busy this new year, not losing the focus of why we're here.

church service this past sunday was incredible! we jumped in numbers from an average of 55 to 74! we had to bring in more chairs! andy made a great video on service and ben delivered the message with a lot of passion. please don't pass up on the opportunities that God gives you throughout the week to serve him! remember when we do it for the least of these we are doing it for him! well have a blessed week and check back soon.

xoxo
