Chick-Fil-A Concert

My new fruit love? Blueberries!  They're great in cereal, smoothies, or by the handful!


I almost added blueberries to my salad for lunch, but I decided to save them for another day.  Instead, my salad included raisins, grilled chicken, peanuts, cheese, spinach and romaine lettuce.


Last night, I went to a free concert at Chick-Fil-A.  The concert was hosted by my favorite Houston radio station, 89.3 KSBJ.  I love this radio station - they always play the most upbeat, heatfelt Christian music.


I wasn't very familiar with the artist, Kari Jobe, but I had heard several of her songs on the radio.


She led a great worship service and I was truly impressed with her performance!


I was surprised by the audience turn-out for a concert on a Tuesday night!  The Chick-Fil-A parking lot was packed with people.


It was a perfect evening to enjoy some tunes under the bright blue sky.


I am truly amazed at how many charitable events Chick-Fil-A participates in.  Not only is their food delicious, the entire corporation is led by very sincere Christians.  The community truly benefits from these restaurants!

Fun fact:  At every new Chick-Fil-A's grand opening, the first 100 customers win free Chick-Fil-A for a year!

In college, I camped out with a couple of friends in a Chick-Fil-A parking lot overnight so that I could be one of the first 100!  We each won 52 coupons for free Chick-Fil-A sandwiches or nuggets (once a week for a year)!

As a college student, I was really thankful for the free meal every week!  Surprisingly, I never got tired of eating Chick-Fil-A!

Have you ever camped out overnight for anything (tickets/free food)?
I've only camped out overnight that one time for free Chick-Fil-A.  A lot of my friends used to camp out for college football or basketball tickets - I never cared enough about the games to do that, though!

Missing the Music

My iPod is dead.  I don't mean that it has a 'low battery'.  This is full-fledged nonresponsive behavior, despite my constant recharging and resetting efforts.


The last song I listened to on my iPod was by Disturbed from their album, Believe.

I am going to miss my music until I get a new iPod, who knows when that will be.

Since I was stuck in the silence, I decided to take a break and catch up on some reading.


As you can see, Dozer decided to join me on the patio, and he was quite curious about what I was reading. Soon he was in my lap reading Three Cups of Tea with me.


While reading, I sipped on this delicious rootbeer my parents gave Austin for his birthday.  It is micro brewed and made with cane sugar.

Noteworthy eats from the past day or two include grilled rosemary chicken with corn on the cob and baked sweet potatoes.


Grilled by this goofy guy.


And some delicious, ridiculously tall hamburgers on homemade buns with fries.


What is your favorite type of music?

I love all kinds of music!  It really depends on my mood and what I'm doing - I prefer to listening to Christian radio on my work commute.  When I'm with Austin or working out, I enjoy listening to hardcore rock and pop music.  And I love country music for dancing!
