Just wanted you to know how much I enjoyed the show in Avon and thank you for taking that last 30 seconds of intermission to take a photo with me.

I remembered 10 min before the end of it that Chris uncharacteristically cried and I was supposed to bring Kleenex. I'm still scratching my head cause I didn't come close to a sniffle and I cry at everything. Now THAT'S curious.

I was so amazed after seeing his wife on a morning show clip at how forgiving she was. Wondered if you had the chance to meet her.<BR/><BR/>I didn't get a chance to say this the other night, but there were three songs that really touched me from the Alma show and helped remind me that no matter where we are in our life, in a valley or on the mountaintop, God is always there. One was your new song, "I Am". Another was Meredith's "You Are Not Alone." And not new to me, but a favorite was Natalie"s "In Better Hands."<BR/><BR/>I totally missed Rascal Flatts on the awards show. I read something on aol about the show and tuned in just in time to see Carrie Underwood get Entertainer of the Year. If my husband would watch something besides "Sci Fi" or "The History Channel", I might know when something is going to be on TV. Can any of you girls relate?! <BR/><BR/>We are excited that the picnic reservations are coming in, including folks who are new this year (one even found us on facebook!) Make your plans to be there...you'll be so sad if you miss it!

I used that "Vote Sligh" widget that came out, and added the text instructions to it. Pin it to your purse, girls. The reason I used the text option is EVERYBODY is carrying a cell phone and most of them text.risaleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00754939096270758631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31810036.post-34808834496527471632009-04-03T20:43:00.000-05:002009-04-03T20:43:00.000-05:00Loved the video, and after much consideration I li...Loved the video, and after much consideration I like the hair it's hot, I mean, er it won't be so hot!<BR/><BR/>20 days 'till the Doves and man the picnic will be here before you know it!

LOL<BR/><BR/>Got to say I like the hair. Now, I guess I can say it, I was not a fan of the headband. : ) It will be cool and comfortable for the hot weather ahead, and I know it's easier to care for. I'm guessing it's a lot longer than it looks, since you've got those curly locks. Ethan's is like that, too.<BR/><BR/>Great, great concert...definitely recommend you going to the "Make It Matter" tour if it comes your way. My only complaint...Chris's set should be longer! It's a little different to not have Chris headlining when you're used to seeing him with the band and all(and we love the band), but he was awesome and amusing, and the crowd loved him. Meredith Andrews is wonderful, in fact, I really enjoyed her even more than Natalie Grant, and that's saying something. This was my second opportunity to hear her. She has that pure kind of voice and when she sings, it sounds effortless. Definitely would recommend you get her CD--www.meredithandrews.com.<BR/><BR/>As always, enjoyed visiting with Chris...he's always generous with his time, and it's always fun to get a shout-out...it doesn't take much to keep the blogger girls happy. LOL<BR/><BR/>As I posted before, the picnic is moving up a day to July 3, as Chris has a gig out of the area on the 4th. We'll get stuff corrected this weekend. <BR/>If I can keep my eyes open, going to work on getting the video up.

In April, I'm showing some of my photography in a gallery and planning for opening night is so stressful. We had to paint the walls of a huuuge room yesterday and I'm still running around trying to get my stuff framed in time. I'm excited, but will be more excited when my work is ready to hang and can move onto worrying about what I'm going to wear opening night! Lol.<BR/><BR/>Love all of the concert reviews and photos that keep coming in! It makes me happy that Chris is still going and fans are still interested.
