I AM OVERJOYED!

This past weekend was THE most exciting weekend of my life!

(Okay, so that is a little bit of an exaggeration, but not much!)

Saturday

Disciple's new CD, "Southern Hospitality" came in the mail!!!

*thinks* (...I'm finding it terribly hard to put into words how exciting this was for me.)

Lets go back...

-On August 18th, I pre-ordered "Southern Hospitality" at a Disciple concert.

-Amber (Wife of Disciple's drummer/Person in charge of merch) told me that I may get the album in the mail BEFORE the 21st.

Now, fast forward to last week:

I was praying, asking God to, "PLEASE let the Disciple CD by Saturday! PLEASE...!"

Saturday afternoon, I was sitting at the computer, listening to the album on Disciple's website, when Abyni came in with the mail. "Spritey, you got a letter... and a package!"

I look over, and recognize my handwriting on the sticker that I filled out to preorder the album- the sticker stuck to the package. That is when I FLIPPED OUT. I screamed, and I got EXTREMELY exuberant. I began to cry tears of immense happiness as I ripped the package open. The package was open. I started crying with a more intense outburst, and thought that was somewhat odd, because I don't generally cry when I'm excited. Soon, my Mom is chasing me around the house with a video camera, making fun of me. (Okay, so the "chasing" may be a little exaggeration, but once again, not very much of one!) I ran to my room, and I literally started sobbing. The whole event was wonderful. It was extreme. It was kinda pathetic. LOL =)

It might be needless to say, but I love the CD =D I have a lot more to say than just, "I love the CD", but I should probably make a seperate post for all of that =)

*Heavy happy sigh* That was a moment that I had been anxiously awaiting for months. OH, and the other letter that I got in the mail was tremendously exciting, as well, but I can't really talk about it yet!

Sunday

On Sunday, I found out news that made me JUST as ecstatic! Well, I was in Church when I found out, so I had a little more self-control, and didn't jump into a fit of WEEPING! LOL...

I can't really give out too many details, but the thing is, I have made this friend named Halle, and she is totally amazing. I am exceedingly thankful for her, and I can't tell you how much so I have been wanting to get to know her better. I found out yesterday that she can come to the Tobymac concert with me the day after my birthday! Seriously, I'm BEYOND EXCITED!!! It's about two hours away, and my friend Garrett is going, too. It's going to be SO MUCH FUN! Not just the concert, but the road trip! I'm absoulutely PSYCHED!!!

*dances!*

(If anyone else would like info on Tobymac concerts, lmk!)

I'M SO HAPPY!!! =D

Disciple News!

*Squeal*

For about the past year, I have been DESPERATELY wanting to get a video called "72 Hours with Disciple". I asked about it at concerts and stuff... and nothing really seemed to want to work out. I almost simply gave up hope about getting it. I REALLY wanted/want it, though.

Anyway, yesterday I was on the Disciple forum, and I found out that they have some available that they are selling!!! I literally made myself sick from excitement! I CAN'T WAIT! Now I'm all nervous about my check getting lost in the mail, or whatever could possibly happen. LOL :) I am BEYOND excited about it, though!


Not only that, but they are coming out with a NEW CD! Anyone who knows me at all can probably imagine how excited I am! At first I was excited, and then I got nervous. (Lol, I guess my Mom is right, I am neurotic) The thing is, I was extremely excited about Kutless' cd, and when it came out, it made me less of a Kutless fan :( And seriously, it's not just that I wasn't a big Kutless fan to begin with. I was a HUGE Kutless fan. Now I don't even consider them one of my favorite bands. I have nothing AGAINST them or whatever, I think they are amazing people... I just... I don't know what it is. Anyway, I DON'T want that to happen with Disciple! I have decided that I think the album will be good... they played a song from "Southern Hospitality" at the concert I went to on the 18th, and I REALLY liked it. So I'm excited, and I'm not really worried about it at all anymore! I cannot begin to tell you how curious I am about it, however :) I'm curious about the lyrics, and the soft songs.

I will tell you one thing... I'm getting SO TIRED of buying CDs that I get tired of after a couple of DAYS! I'm so thankful that this is coming out in 2 months... (Oh my gosh- I have to wait TWO MONTHS!!!) because I'm getting terribly despearate for a good cd that will stay "good" longer than A FEW DAYS.

Oh! Guess what? Another thing about the AMAZING concert on the 18th... a few of the members of Disciple remembered my name! (For the 2nd time) There is another reason to be happy about the unusual name my parents chose for me! LOL :D

I'm really quite fond of Disciple at this moment. I mean, I often am. But it seems different now. I've been a fan of their's for what seems like a LONG time, and they recognize and even remember my name at concerts now! It's like we are almost friends! :) Hahaha...



Praise God :D
