Phil Wickham

Last night Bryan and I skipped our class to go to a Phil Wickham concert at another church. It was wonderful! He sang all the songs I love and more. The two pictures below were from songs that remind me of two special weddings I've been too. ;)



He sang a new song that he said would either be called "Mercy" or "One Man" and it was wonderful! I can't wait until it comes out!

You may not realize this but Mardi Gras is just around the corner. Which means there is an abundance of King Cake in the office.
Here is a picture of the delicious cake. You all probably know this already but the baby represents Baby Jesus. I think that if you end up with the baby you have to buy the next cake or something.

Me being a new Louisianian having never gone to any Mardi Gras event I felt completely out of the loop. I sat at my desk googling it and I came up with a schedule of parades/events. There is a countdown to the big day and many businesses get the day off. Check out this parade schedule...I was amazed.

One parade I want to go to doesn't just throw beads but they throw cups and dolls. How fun is that?! Well I don't know to much about this holiday but I hear it is kind of a big deal around here!

  1. So jealous you got to see Phil! And I'm glad you can associate him with a couple of weddings that you have been in! :)

  2. I love king cakes! My AP English teacher would buy our class one every year, it was so much fun. However, I never had the piece with the baby in it :-(

  3. Haha I love how you skipped your class, but Phil is totally worth it! PLEASE post pictures of Mardi Gras! I've only been to LA once and it was crazy, so I could only imagine what Mardi Gras would be like :) A great cultural experience!
    We hope you and Bryan are doing well! We miss y'all dearly here in Oklahoma!
