2009 Churchmen Spring Tour

Monday & Tuesday was the Mississippi Singing Churchmen Spring Tour. Eric & I drove to Columbus, MS on Monday morning. They had rehearsal from 1 - 5 pm at Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Columbus. The church fed us dinner and the concert was at 7 pm Monday night. It was really great and they had a fantastic turnout. Here are a few pictures from Monday night. They aren't great because I didn't want to use a flash. But you can see Eric singing his heart out right in the middle :)


Tuesday morning, we drove over to Houston, MS for a concert at First Baptist. The concert was at noon and the church fed us lunch afterward. After lunch, we drove up to Oxford and had coffee with a few other guys in the churchmen, Joey Williams & Steve Reynolds. Joey is one of Eric's good friends from when he was in Natchez. I didn't get any pictures of them together... I'm slacking!

Last night was a concert at Anchor Baptist Church in Water Valley, MS. The church was pretty much in the middle of nowhere. But everyone was really nice there. They fed us dinner at 5:30 and the concert was at 7 pm. Here's a few pics from last night.


After the concert, we had a 2 1/2 hour drive back home. We had a great time seeing everyone again. And each concert was a great time of praise & worship. And although it is always alot of driving, I do enjoy getting to go to all the little towns in Mississippi that I would otherwise never see. It really is a beautiful state and has a bunch of cute little towns. Can't wait until Fall Tour... I think it will be on the coast! Yay for the beach :)

Our new grill!

Yesterday, Eric went to Home Depot and bought a grill! We've been wanting one for awhile but were waiting until the weather got warmer (and when we had some money). We got it pre-assembled at the HD, but really only because it's the only one they had... but I think it was worth it. It would've been annoying to put all those screws in. Anyway, to break it in, Eric bought us steaks to eat. He bought a filet for me (my favorite!) and a NY Strip for him. They were yummy yummy (even with my mouth half numb from the dentist). We ate the steaks with baked sweet potatoes and caesar salad.

Here's a few pics:

Just getting started...

Our yummy steaks!

I didn't get a picture of our whole meal. We were too hungry and ready to eat. Oh well. It was good though!

My loves...

Last week, we were in Baton Rouge because I had a training class at work Thursday & Friday. While we were there, we had jambalaya at my parents' house and I actually got a picture of all my nephews and nieces :) I hate being away from them so much. They grow way too fast!

All my loves...

Luke (6)

Cameron (4)

Miriam (3)

Levi (almost 2)

Micah (10 mo)

And last, but certainly not least...

Eric (31)

I had to put his age because he's 6 months older than me ;)

Roses

I was surprised when my husband came in from work this afternoon. He had an arm full of roses for me. How sweet!



Pretty :)

Happy Birthday Grasshopper!

This is my favorite video ever of Luke!
The quality isn't great... but it still makes me laugh :)
