Big News and the Newsboys!

Cam got home from North Carolina last weekend and we went straight to a Newsboys concert here in St. Petersburg. The Newsboys were playing with 6 other Russian bands in a Christian Rock Festival here in the city. The venue that they played at was rather small, seated about 1000 people, but it was great to see them up close. I've only seen them before with about 10,000 other people. Cam has a loose connection with one of the members of Newsboys, named Paul Colman. Cam knows Paul's dad from church back home, and he's actually going to officiate our second wedding ceremony in February. So when Paul came out on stage to fix his microphone we called him over and started talking to him. He was amazed that there were Australians and Americans at the concert. After the concert we got pictures taken with the band and autographs. When we were leaving we saw the band standing at the front doors waiting for their bus and we stayed there and talked to them for another 45 minutes. It was so much fun!

It's 8 weeks to our wedding! We're trying to get a lot of details organized while we're over here. I'm traveling back to the states in 4 weeks. Crazy times!!
