Life of a Band Wife

Life of a band wife is not fun right now. Andrew is in Nashville writing songs and meeting with labels for a week while I stay at home. Boo! No fun! BUT- I'm so very excited to see what is to come out of this weekend!

Miss my boo...

That the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
1 Peter 1:7

Brushcreek 2010

This past week Andrew and I went to my old church camp. The one that is in the middle of nowhere in southern Illinois. The one I've been going to for about 15 years now (give and take a few). The one that I was saved at. The one that is AWESOME. We had fun and lots of kids were saved!

Cabin 15

We Bought Another House. Ahhh!!!!

I do believe when I asked Andrew how long it would be before he flipped another house (after we had just flipped the Wood River house) he said 5-10 years. Just for the record- It's been one :) We've now owned 3 houses in the past year. Craziness. Our new summer project:

Wedding Tour 2010!!

Weddings! I love them. Good thing, because we have 8 this year. Yes, 8!!!! That's a lot. We have four down and they were all gorgeous. Here's a few pics:

Wedding #1- Mr. and Mrs. Fischer (My big bro). I bawled. Not like a few tears bawl. More like, my Kleenex is now in a little soggy ball, someone please give me another before the snot gets too bad type of bawl. My Grandpa was sure to point in out. It was a beautiful wedding :)

Andrew just LOVES weddings ;)


My Family! Love them, love them, love them!


Happy Marriage to the happy couple!

Wedding #2: Mr. and Mrs. Mathewson- Another nursing girl got married! Nicole was my riding buddy to and from clinicals during school. We both share the love of food and the love of God. Awesome girl and awesome couple.

My super cute flowers. She got them from Canada. Very cool.

Like I said- Andrew is just giggling with excitement over all these weddings...

Wedding #3: Mr. and Mrs. VerDught. Andrew's old roomie. This wedding was number two on our Super Wedding Weekend. We had the Mathewson wedding in Peoria, then hopped over to Iowa for the VerDught's. Lots of driving, but well worth it!




4 weddings down (congrats to Ellie too!), one wedding missed, and only 3 more to go! Woot Woot!

200,000 miles in 8 years. Not too shabby....

Agape = Love

Agape was great this year! The guys were awesome, the crowd was awesome, and I got a little bit of a tan! Since TGR played on the main stage, we had backstage passes and ate, met, and saw other artists such as Skillet, Family Force Five, Stephanie Smith, and more. I can now say I've shaken John Cooper's (lead from Skillet) hand. I also won "Best Cousin Award 2010." My cousin Jordan came to the concert with us and we were able to get him a back stage pass as well. I think he had a great time. I can't wait until next year!

There's just something about a tight black tee and a bass... ;)

The Flying Ninja

It's our favorite girl, Ashton Lee!

We were even able to get some quality time in! And when I say quality time, I really mean Andy was able to take a nap while I painted my toenails. I'll take it!

Date Night!

Between gigs, work, and other activities, Andrew and I have had very little "us" time. We have been due for a date night for a long time. We hadn't had a weekend off together at home since January, and even then we weren't sure. Andrew had a radio interview at 10:30, so we decided to make it a date night and go to Gian-Tony's. Oh how I love Gian-Tony's. I do believe I'm half Italian. I LOVE fettuccine alfredo. It does not love me, but everything in moderation, right? Our date night was wonderful and the time together only reminded us how much we not only love each other, but LIKE each other.

Scary rain clouds. Eeek!

At the very late radio interview. They did great!
