Coldplay!!

Ticket!!

The free live album. I've had it for months, but it was awesome to get a hard copy as a souvineer

Ok seriously, hands down the best live music experience I have EVER had. I have loved Coldplay for years now, but I can tell you that after last night, every time I listen to them I will be a little sad that I'm not hearing them live. They were so incredible! I saw them at the Superpages.com center in my second home town of Dallas. I was pretty close to the stage and VERY close to a little mini stage that they set up and visited about a third of the way into the concert. Literally I was 6 rows away from the entire band. ablwkeja;wirrrrr I almost died. I couldn't believe they were right there!!

That in it of itself made up for the fact that I was too far to the right to get showered by the butterfly confetti, but I still managed to grab some as a souvineer :)

I got some pretty good pictures and some AMAZING video. Seriously, my camera recorded everything so great. I was very surprised. I'm going to post some links to a couple of the videos that I'll upload. They're all weird lengths because let's face it, I wanted to be screaming and dancing around - not holding a camera still. I'm pretty sure you'll like them though, if you're a Coldplay fan.

All in all, one of the greatest nights of my life. It was everything I thought it would be and more. And if it's possible, I love Coldplay more now than I did before!

Enjoy :)

Blacklight butterflies!

Regular butterflies :)

Ok, I don't think you understand how close they were.

Seriously. Like. Right there.

Epic.

Yellow!!

They feel too short to me, but I didn't want to be holding my camera the whole time. Had to dance around some!! :D

Aha!

I've discovered a new summer project!

I know, I know. I'm bad at blogging.
BUT
Kaitlin has started up her blog again because she's in Oxford studying for six weeks and she posted a video.

So...
I responded with a video of my own!
Go watch hers first, otherwise mine won't make sense.

I love you KP!
Hope this makes you smileee :D
(Also, it takes me a few seconds to figure out how to stop recording.. I'm new at this!)

I suck at blogging...

Wow. It has been awhile!

Obviously, I have not visited my own blog since November. But the amazing thing is that it was about this time last semester that I wrote that post, and everything I said then really encouraged me today. I've been pretty overwhelmed, especially these last few weeks, what with all of my classes and homework and tests and papers. I definitely underestimated the volume of work that would come with taking 20 hours. I've been falling behind these past couple of weeks and I'm slowly catching back up. My teachers have been really great about it though, they haven't been penalizing me for my late work and they all seem to understand that I'm struggling to get it all done in time. I've been forcing myself to go to bed at midnight and sleep until 7AM because I know if I get sick or just completely exhausted, I'll never get anything done.

It's just been a lot of things at once. School, church, family stuff... I've been pretty discouraged with 720 these past few months. Our attendance has dwindled to about 10 people on Thursdays, including the band. Tonight, I bet the only girls in attendance are me and Kaitlin. More people come to the "720 Bowling Night" than our group time of worship on Thursdays.

It's really pathetic. I'm trying very hard not to be upset or judgmental.

One thing that's really been helping is that the band has been going to The Village Church on Saturdays. The worship and teaching there is so amazing. I feel so refreshed after just an hour there. Last week, we saw 9 people baptized and took Communion with them. I just love doing new songs and hearing Matt preach. God has really blessed us by bringing us there, I think.

Anyways, I know this blog hasn't been very positive... But I do know that God is faithful and that everything is for His glory. So hopefully the next time I post, I'll have some answers to my prayers to report.

OH in happy news, Kaitlin and I got approved for an apartment!! We are so so excited!! :D
I'd actually forgotten about that, I guess I'm still not used to it.. We've been waiting to get into the apartments basically since we moved into the dorms (at least I have). IHATEITHERE.
It is gross.
I can't wait!!

Have a good day everybody!
