First time in a LIMO!

This past Saturday, me and 6 of my friends went in a limo to a concert in Williston. To backtrack a bit, my friend Alex won a limo for 6 hrs at the after prom party, to use whenever he wanted. A band we all like was playing in Williston so he figured then would be a good time to use it. I didn't take any pictures (which I'm really regretting now) but I did steal this one from a friend. From left to right it is myself, Kyle, Brook, and Hailey. Also in the limo was Marcy, Alex, and Michael. 

The ride up was entertaining, as we were all exploring the limo and all the buttons and whatnot it had. 

We got to the concert a little after 7. This was the part I was a little apprehensive of, showing up to a concert (which was held in a red barn, literally) in a limo, like we're trying to be all fancy. Sure enough, we pull up, and the headlining band (Midnight Suit, they are actually pretty well know in their genre) is RIGHT by where we we to be dropped off. We all filed out of the limo, and while doing so, the drummer states "Man, you guys show up in a limo, way to one up us" I was so embarrassed. Obviously he was joking, not mad or anything, but still. 

3 bands played before Midnight Suit. They were all, surprisingly enough, pretty good. Here's a picture of part of Midnight Suit. Once again, this is one I took from a friend. Man I wish I would have had my camera.

After the concert we went to Subway to grab some food, then headed home. The limo was even more cool on the way home. It had strobe lights inside and since it was dark outside by this time, it was like being inside a club or something of that sort. Needless to say, we were entertained. It was such a fun day and I can now say I have, in fact, been in a limo!

Quick China & school update

I figured it's about time for an update on China and my college courses. Not a whole lot to say about school, except I'm done with my courses for the summer. I really enjoyed them all but it will be nice to get a break. China details are really coming together, the main thing being I am done paying for the trip, 2 and a half months before it even happens. I paid close to half of the money needed myself, out of my own funds, but did not know where I was going to get the rest. My awesome pastor and church board members gave me the opportunity to speak in front on my church about my trip and afterwards they would take up an offering. I was absolutely terrified before going on stage, but once I was up there it really wasn't too scary and I got ALL my funds. Huge huge blessing. So now that that is off my mind, I can focus on preparing for the trip in others ways. I'm SO SO excited - only 67 days till I leave!
