MOPS Convention

This was my fourth year to go and by far my favorite because I got to go with some good friends. We had a blast staying up later than some of our usual bedtimes, eating some really good food, and enjoying some great speakers, singers and shopping.

I got to meet one of my first favorite Chrisitan singers while we were there. Greg Long was the guy I would watch when they would show contempory music videos on TBN or something like that. I think it was pretty radical for that many years ago. I really remember Greg to be right up there while I enjoyed other favorties of that era . . . Al Denson, Wayne Watson, of course Steven Curtis Chapman. Of course he is married now and a part of Avalon, another group I have enjoyed through the years. Of course I jammed to Go Fish like I do every year and have since "enjoyed" so to speak their cd with my kiddos. Savannah particuarly likes "If you are happy and you know

it" while Syd favors "Five Little Monkeys"It was at the Gaylord in Grapevine and these hotels are always so beautiful. I think I have been to everyone. At this one they have the golden cowboy and it cracks me up to watch all these moms innocently go have their picture made with the cool statue, when actually it is this 20 year old boy painted gold. We posed for fun. I forgot to mention we got to see the movie "Fireproof" (see promo at bottom of blog) and wow, what a great movie fromt he message to the the story to the fact that another blast from the past was in it . . . Kirk Cameron. Man do I feel old drooling over these now men who used to be the cutest or had the prettiest blue eyes. Am I forty yet or what?
