awesome

If you asked Chloe about our night last night she would say it was "AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!", and it was.  Chloe and I went on a mother/daughter date to the Mindy Gledhill concert that was hosted by Christian and Stephanie Nielson (all of which we love).

Let me tell you something about myself, I do not get all worked up about celebrities or famous people, just don't. We frequently see,Chester Bennington ,who is singer for Linkin Park, at Nic's baseball games.  Travis thinks it is neat and wants me to walk over and get a picture or autograph, I say for what? I feel pretty much the same about any celebrity or sports figure, why would I want a piece of paper with their name on it? I might snap a picture,maybe.   

This being said, Chloe was a little more gaga over the fact that we got to see these people than I was. Don't get me wrong I thought it was neat and thoroughly enjoyed myself.  But then I started thinking "so what if she was starstruck?", I'm actually thankful that she is so gaga over these particular women.  Stephanie is a women who I admire immensely, she has taught me so much about enduring and I love that she shares her testimony every chance she gets. Mindy writes great music that has clean lyrics, she dresses modestly and is a good role-model of someone who has followed her dreams without foregoing the calling of a wife and mother. AND, we both enjoy them, to boot.

Here are the pics of the night.

these two girls were sitting directly in front of us

 as well as the rest of the family (I know I said I didn't get starstruck)  and for those of you who do not read the Nie Nie Dialogues you are completely lost

 Mindy rocking out on her keytar

Mindy's keyboard guy - I must say the strangest man I have seen in a long time, the picture does no justice.

Chloe got to go up on stage, she was so excited.  Mindy gave them all a beat that they were supposed to clap to, and unfortunately Chloe is like the rest of our family- musically challenged, she said the beat was too complicated and she couldn't figure it out. (It have to say it was hard.) She did fine faking it, I didn't even notice.  Mindy even complemented Chloe on her cute outfit!

AND THE GRAND FINALE!

All and all great night...thanks Chloe for talking me into taking you!
