First off we went to Julie's Volleyball Banquet at Taste of Japan...good food....when it came time to pass out awards..of course Ms. Julie didn't think she would get anything because this was her first year and the other girls are upper class men and of course they get all the awards. There were two "Very Special" awards given one being the "RAM" award...chosen by the coach and the "MVP" award chosen by the team...Well how shocked was Ms. Julie to learn she was voted "MVP' by the team...see pictures... sorry they are small...couldn't figure out how to make them larger...hope you can see them...
The coach had called me to tell me about Julie getting this award but I was sworn to secrecy and couldn't tell anybody..(except daddy, jessica, justin, nana, sissy)...everyone BUT Julie...and to see the look on her face when she called her name was priceless!
Then we went to Winter Jam 09 at G'boro Coliseum. Sponsored by K-LOVE the Christian Music station. It was GREAT!!! Some of the groups one especially..Family Force 5 was a little much for me...but the place was packed....They had to turn people away because they had reached the maximum capacity!!! How amazing is that..! Over 20,000 people there praising the Lord. It was awesome!!! see...pic as well!!
Julie made a comment on the way home that night that she was so amazed that so many people from all different age groups..young and old could get together for a concert and it be all about God...she said "Mama, I'm glad to know I'm not the only teenager who praises the Lord and loves to sing and listen to music about him! That was worth the $10 to get in and the $10 to park!
That's my weekend...Just wanted to share this with you and hope you will indulge me on bragging on my little girl!!! She makes me Proud!!!
Hope you have a Blessed Week!

Awwww! That's so awesome!! I'll have to congratulate her wed. I know she was excited. ..and I'm sure it was very hard for you not to tell her, hee hee. Wow! over 20,000 people praising God, that's amazing. What an encouragement for Julie to see that there are other teens out there that are praising God and not afraid to show it. I know its an encouragement to me as an adult and to you too as an adult and parent.
Thanks for sharing your weekend,
Hugs!
