SHINE, make 'em wonder what you've got.

Well, last Friday Leighann, Kerri and I left College Station to go home to Tyler, unfortunately on the way out of town we had to sit in traffic on the highway for a little over 40 minutes. I'm pretty sure that was my first real experience with that kind of situation. not fun, but a good lesson in patience, I suppose.

Anyway, the more notable part of the trip was when the three of us rediscovered Newboys!! which was awesome! I'm almost positive that "Shine" could be one of the happiest songs of all time. Definitely my new bad day song. There really isn't anything that compares to 90s Christian music. Classics.

On Saturday I spent time hanging out with Mom. It was good. Got my Papacita's chips and hot sauce so I was thoroughly satisfied. That night went to the Luvbeat/Luminate concert. Wonderful as always. They both give me that goofy, super happy smile. I guess because I think they're super cool. hahaha. Saw some friends and had some nice chats. It was good.

Sunday morning, got up and packed the ipod up with some more hits, which means I found my WOW '99 CD, as well as DC Talk. Ate lunch with mom at Cafe Tazza. I really like that place. picked up Kerri and Leighann. Saw Leighann's dog's new puppies!! goodness, they were adorable. I'm so glad God made puppies, really baby animals in general, I guess. Then started the trip off right by listening to "Jesus Freak" it was beautiful.

The drive back was rather uneventful. and the scenery was amazing. I don't think there is any way to deny there is a God when you look at nature. It's too intricate and breathtaking.

We also listened to Heidi Newfield's "Johnny and June" on repeat for a while. (yeah, we do that.) It's a great song. My only issue is that they got together through an affair, kinda puts a damper on it. but still a lovely song. Anyway, we made it back JUST in time for our new "class", which is going to be super fun...yes.
