Third Day

Sunday Matt and I went to EMU to see Third Day and David Crowder Band. I thought I would be a loving girlfriend and get Matt tickets for Christmas to see his favorite band, Third Day. I didn't think to look at the Nascar Schedule either. And if you know Matt you know he loves Nascar. Well, I bought tickets for Third Day, not realizing it was the same day as the Daytona 500. This is the superbowl of Nascar. I got a lot of crap for it from his friends and others.

It was a really good concert except for our seats. I bought floor tickets, but they didn't say where on the floor. When we got there we found out we had the last row on the floor. Plus there was a 6 foot girl in front of me. I could pretty much see nothing. At intermission we snuck into the balcony so we could actually watch the bands we paid money to see. It was a good concert. Definetly worth seeing. They did my favorite songs, Thief and Communion, so I was happy!

Last week that actual coach of the Titans, Coach Boone came to Spring Arbor for our Black History Celebration. It was pretty neat to stand in his shoes, knowing that the world looks up to him through seeing the movie and knowing what he dealt with every day. His daughter was there too, she teaches in Ypsilanti. He mostly talked about the possitives of Diversity. It was a once in a lifetime chance to hear him.

After reading "50 things to do at Wal-Mart" we decided to pick up boxes of condoms and put them in random people's carts. Taylor discretly tried to pick condoms off the shelf while looking at the pregnancy tests. Abby yelled at her to not look at those and it would make us look even more suspicious.

So Taylor gets the condoms and puts them in our cart. Then we are on the hunt for abandoned carts to place the condoms in. First we couldn't find any carts, so Lydia stuck one box in the freezer. Then we decided to go to the produce section. Bingo, there was a full cart with no one around. I grabbed the condoms and didn't break a stide while sticking them in the person's cart.

Taylor decided that we should see the reaction on the person's face. Our face dropped when we saw the people come back to the cart. They were about 55ish. Yuck... Okay, so we see the victims and they are heading towards the checkout. There was another chance to see their reaction since they haven't noticed yet. As they found a checkout lane, I got in line behind them. The lady still didn't notice! Then she started putting her food up on the counter and she picked up this box...looked at her scrubby guy with a smirk on her face. "Did you pick these up." She smiled at him. She put the box down and gave her guy a hug. Then SHE BOUGHT THEM!!!

As Lydia said, "We just made some old couple REALLY happy tonight!"

When I told Jessica this story, Jessica said, "Amanda, you just probably created a kid." Mom and I stared at her and Mom commented, "Well not if they were using them!"

Anyways, this was probably the funniest thing I have ever done. I think you had to be there to see the reaction. But it was well worth it.

I HATE SNOW!

Saturday night I went off roading. Not for fun either! I knew the roads were getting bad, but I had driven in bad weather before. Every time the weather gets bad, I am at Matt's house. Anyways, I was driving about 30mph then all of a sudden I was facing east, then west, then east, the west and down into a field. Just barely missing a tree! I knew if I stopped I would get stuck, so I just kept driving through the field until I came to a driveway.
I was pretty scared, but I definetly prayed the rest of the way home and thanked God for keeping me safe. My car was okay, it just had some corn husks wrapped around the bottom of my car!

Ewwww...

Gross! I was sitting at my desk and looked over to this marvelous creature. I hope I can sleep tonight!
