Sweet Home Alabama

I went home for the weekend. It was much needed and too much fun. I got to see those i really missed and those i didnt. Why would i drive 8 hours for just a weekend?! Well I tagged along with Chris Frakes who just happened to be making a trip to Scottsburo. It worked out perfect because this weekend was Big Spring Jam in Huntsville, AL. For my local readers and those who dont know what Big Spring Jam is, its a time in Huntsville that happens once a year where many big and up coming artist from all across the nation and put on a small show for the fans. Some big artist for this past weekend include Akon, The Fray, and yeah thats about it. The reason it is called Big Spring Jam and happenin in the summer/fall is due to the name of the park: Big Spring Park. It took me a while to figure that one :/ and sometimes i still forget. This event attracts all crowds ranging from ages 12 months to 90 years old, but the majority of the crowd falling in the 12-16 age range. Despite all this we still did attend BSJ. It was not easy to leave my projector while watching the Florida Gators murder the Kentucky Wildcats and go to see the Fray. Especially when Tebow went down. Talk about scary, i think i threw up more than he did when he went down. I still feel quezzy and he is okay now. Leaving and checking my phone for updates we did eventually make it to the jam like i said and it was so much fun this was when i saw most of the people i didnt want to see. So chances are if you where at the jam and we ran into each other you would fall into that category (ok thats a lie im totally kidding). So my best friend and I where at the fray concert trying to meet up with some of our friends who are on the front row when these ladys/moms approach us... DUN DUN DUN! Not exactly the age range we were shooting for, but they just wanted a Florida update. i did not know these moms total strangers, but just like always i was guilty of wearing a gator shirt and they wanted to know the final score. YEA RIGHT. Ended up i was right no mom cares about sports or final scores (they were from Florida though i will give them that). We must have talked to these ladies for the enitre concert and no it was not about sports. Just some friendly moms trying to hook up their daughters. They were texting their daughters about how they are talking to two cute boys and that the best get out of the crowd and come meet us. Although they were making things easier for Ashkan and I, we were totally down for it until they wanted to show off their daughters in pictures! They were cute just not our type. Thats when we knew we had to get out. Well on our exit they insisted we take pictures with them and kindly we did and left quite swiftly. (Just for clarification we did not leave right when they showed us the pictures chill! They showed us the pictures like mid-way in the concert keep in mind we talked to them the whole concert minus one song.) So we left then i saw on of those people i didnt want to see who i had been avoiding and we turned around and came back to the stage where the Fray was playing and it has just ended. So we quickly went to the side to meet back up with our friends and OH NO. We got stopped. No it was not the moms it was the daughters who adamitly stepped clearly in our path and said " HEY we know you! You two were just talking to our moms werent you?!" I was shaking my head in astonishment thinking what are the odds. They even pulled out their phone to show us picture messages their mom had sent them to prove to us they were the ones whom we were "trying to meet" ha yeah right. We talked a little and then said our goodbyes. That was my adventure for Saturday night. There is more to the story for Saturday but thats another post for another time. Sunday rolls around and I got to step in and out of church for a minute. Enough time to mention it in my blog. Its still my favorite church by far with flawless staff and great people. But some things just never change; that lady that lets her daughter run around and does not one thing about it still goes, the one who comes in late and always sits front left, the family who comes in even later and doesnt find enough seats so they split, the youth who seem to sit in assigined seating, and the same small talk before every service still takes place. But without these assets Life's Journey would just be another church and i praise the lord its not. It was good to be home this past weekend cant wait till Brooks wedding to have a second round.
