It has been a busy week since I last posted. The girls and I went to the Toby Mac, Jeremy Camp, Matthew West concert on the 23rd and had a blast. It was a great worship experience. We met some great people seated around us and I wish I had their names written down so that we could have communicated with them. What a neat family they were!! They drove 3 hours to come to the concert and went home when it was finished. We didn't get home until midnight (although we did stay a little longer to talk to Jeremy Camp) so I can't imagine when they got home. As I said, we did meet Jeremy Camp and Matthew West. I have to say that I was very impressed with both of them, both onstage and off. They are genuine men of God and not just performers.
This weekend I took the girls to Michigan to attend the Father/Daughter banguet with my brother-in-law Joel. Joel has been doing this ever since Brent passed away. It is always a special time for all of us. It makes me feel good to know that she can have this "dad" experience that she wouldn't otherwise have. That is one of the hard things about being a single mom. It is also a good time for me to be able to relax and spend time with Andrea. We rarely get the time to talk anymore. I consider myself so blessed to have such a great relationship with Brent's family, even this long after his death.
