Steaks and a Concert

Newsboys concert in Oviedo, FL

So, this last week has been so busy!  

Last Saturday was my birthday and Victor made me a Pineapple Upside Down Cake :)  He did such a good job!

Despite not having made any plans in advance, it turned into quite the birthday weekend . . . .

Luna, Duncan, and Trixie

Two of my brother-in-laws came over during the day on Saturday, and brought their puppy, Luna, to play with Duncan and Trixie.  She's just a puppy now, but she's already bigger than Duncan!

That evening, we had our normal small group/ carecell, which Victor ran, and we ate the aforementioned Pineapple Upside Down Cake.

Playing croquet

The next day, after church, some friends came over with steaks for the grill, and a croquet set, ready to have some fun! However, while we were still eating, we got a phone call with some really exciting news . . .

My friends were able to get tickets to the Newsboys concert that night, which was right down the street!  I had wanted to go, but didn't really have the extra money for tickets.  The show had started by the time we finished eating, but we were still able to see one of the opening groups, and all of the Newsboys.

I have been a Newsboys fan since I was pretty young, having had two older brothers to teach me in the ways of music.  The group has been through a few lead singers through the years, and with each one, have changed and adapted their style to stay current.  We really enjoyed the show and we particularly loved their focus on God during the show.  Despite all the theatrics, like the dizzying light effects, and the elevated, rotating drum platform, each song they sang was singularly devoted to worship, which we really enjoyed.  

After a crazy week, the whole of Sunday was just the time of rest that we needed!
