March: The Month of Long-Awaited Concerts
March 30, 2010
This month I went to two concerts that I have been waiting for what seems like forever to see. The first concert I went to was the Five for Fighting/Matt Wertz concert. Matt Wertz was my main draw for this concert. I have been waiting for him to come around so I can see him. I know, I know I saw him in Nashville last month but that didn't count because he was on stage with Dave Barnes and Brandon Heath and he only played one of his own songs.
The second concert I went to was Acquire the Fire which was where I got to see TFK (Thousand Foot Krutch). Also present at this concert was Unhindered, Stephanie Smith and Building 429.

40 Days
February 16, 2010
This year for Lent I'm joining Blood:Water Mission in their 40 Days of Water campaign. Here's how it works: Make WATER your only beverage for 40 days, Keep track & save the money you would have spent. At the end of 40 days, donate what you saved to support water projects in Uganda.

Turning Over a New Leaf
January 11, 2010
Today my friends invited me to their new gym to try out a couple of classes, BodyJam and BodyPump. BodyJam is a dance inspired workout, BodyPump is a class that uses a weight bar to work on all muscles groupings. They both were great classes. The BodyJam was so much fun even though I have two left feet. BodyPump was a killer! By the end of class I couldn't feel my arms. Along with these killer classes and a motivating group of friends I decided to join the club. I also set a 15 week goal, lose 20 lbs by April 19th. That's an average loss of 1.3 lbs a week which I think is completely doable. My plan? Work out six days a week. I have hockey Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday so that means going to the gym three of the remaining four days.

2009: The Year of the Concert
January 7, 2010
I didn't realize how many concerts I attended last year until I took a survey of how my year went. I went to 8 concerts. That's right 8! I think that's a record for me. All of them were great but the two of them that I enjoyed the most were the NeedToBreathe and the Follow You concerts, both amazing beyond words!

A Continuous Work in Progress
September 24, 2009
It is taking longer than expected to get all my thoughts together for my website. It's so much easier when it's someone else’s site I’m working on. For now I plan on adding items one by one instead of holding off 'till I have everything put together.
