Jason Upton concert at CMU!!!

On Thursday, Jason Upton came to CMU!! He is a big Christian singer and he came to my secular college for a concert. We stood in the very front row right up against the stage. It was really cool!!


Jason Upton!


Singing with one of the band members


Most of his songs he played on the keyboard


My friend Jessica came up from EMU for the concert...Stina and I did gymnastics with her in high school, so it was fun hanging out and catching up on life with her also!

American Idol, Pizza, Movies, and Friends

2 weeks ago, Stina, Ashley, and I decided to make American Idol t-shirts...

...we used puffy paint...

...and printed pictures from the internet onto special iron-on paper of our favorite singers...(Stina-David Hernandez, Ashley-Luke Menard, Kelly-David Archuleta)

I accidently stuck my elbow in ashley's wet paint, but luckily, it came completely out of my white shirt!!

Here's the finished project!!!

Before we took this picture, Ashley and Stina's guys both got voted off, so they decided to change up the back of their shirts by writing the top 12 names on the back and crossing them off when they get voted out. My guy is still in...GO DAVID ARCHULETA!!!

Last night we had pizza while watching American Idol
And we called A LOT of times to vote for our favorites!
Then we went to Coldstone to get some ice cream (I didn't get to Kodak moment that cause I forgot my camera) and we ate it while we watched the movie Enchanted!!! It was a great night!

Beach Reach 2008

In case you don't know what Beach Reach is, it is where a group of college students go down to Panama City Beach, Florida for spring break and serve free pancakes and do free van rides for spring breakers while sharing the love of God with them. If you want more info about it or want to check out the prayer room stuff, you can go to this website.

Otherwise, here are some of the 254 pictures that I took over my spring break this year!!! It was quite the interesting week. It was warm the first 2 days, then freezing cold the rest of the week...cold enough to wear pants and hoodies. On Tuesday, pancakes were cancelled in the morning due to a tornado warning, so as you will see in pictures, we had a hang out day till night time. During this day my group played games like musical chairs, and had dance parties! We also had 4 baptisms during the crazy weather where there were 2 red flags up (meaning don't swim) and there were jellyfish washing up all over the shore. On the last night it downpoured rain and we all got soaking wet out on the streets. There was also a shooting at a bar, a car accident, and 2 flat tires from our beach reach vans!! It was nuts!! On the way home, there was snow in Tennessee so we had to stop at a church for the night to prevent any car accidents. It took us 36 hours to get home! Depsite the craziness of the week, it was a lot of fun and we all had some amazing God conversations with spring breakers. There were many salvations throughout the week also! For more info or pictures, give me a call or come visit me and you can see all 254 of my pics plus all my videos! Otherwise, enjoy the 15 that I have posted here :)
