The Most Epic Brother Sister Date! :)

So...this last weekend I got to spend some time with my younger brother.  It was a blast!!!!!!!!  He has been talking about Vocal Point for ages now, and so I decided to take him to one of their concerts.  I was a litte skeptical in the beginning, I will admit.  I am not generally a huge fan of a cappella groups like that, but boy was I in for a surprise!  These guys were incredible!!!!  Before I get to that though I have start at the beginning.

Before the concert my brother and I went to California Pizza Kitchen.  Yum yum yum!!!!  One of my favorite places to eat for sure!  He had never been there before so I had take him of course.  We had some scrumptious pizza and just talked for a little while, then it was off to the concert.  For those who know me well, they know I am a very punctual person, so naturally, we were at the concert an hour early... Well this gave us quite a bit of time to wonder around and explore the Covey Center.

It is actually a really pretty building, but it is not too large so this didn't take us very long.  After a few minutes we decided to sit on one of the couches, and as people started trickling in, we played the "who can find the most awkward couple" game.  That brought lots of laughs indeed, but it didn't last long, because my brother watched this guy slam his head into the wall while he was talking on his cell phone, and couldn't stop laughing about it until the doors were opened to start seating everyone.  I wish I would have seen it!  I still laughed quite a bit though just because my brother couldn't stop laughing haha :D

Once we got settled into our seats, we started taking pictures of ourselves making extremely ridiculous faces.  We were cracking ourselves up!  I love that about spending time with my brother, we ALWAYS laugh, A LOT! :)  As the lights started to dim, I realized I had misplaced my cell phone, another thing that might be important to know about me is, I never lose things, so this had me quite alarmed indeed.  The first song blew me away, but I had a really hard time focusing on the concert knowing that my phone was missing. So frustrating!  Then being silly me, I tried relating the experience to the gospel, DURING THE CONCERT! Sometimes I am so weird...I did eventually get myself to focus though and was completely blown away by the music :)  There was a brief intermission, and my brother and I immediately went on a cell phone hunt.  After retracing my steps a little, we decided to ask the front desk if anyone had turned in a phone to them recently.  To my surprise someone had! And even better, it was mine!  I am so grateful for the person who found it and turned it in, because not only was able to be reunited with my phone, but I was also able to enjoy the second half of the concert so much more than I had the first :)

The mixture of hymns, jazzy hits, and variations of modern pop songs made for an excellent and very satisfying show. :)  It was also super fun to get T-shirts signed afterward by the singers as well. Plus, we ended the night with Krispy Kreme doughnuts!  It doesn't get much better than that :)  I love spending time with my little bro!  He's the best!

To close, here are some of the pictures from when we were trying to keep ourselves entertained before the concert.
