Believe it... I do!

Jamie, Josh, Makenzie, Rob, April, Justin

Tonight I had the honor of attending a concert for an AMAZING woman! Her name is Jamie Hartley, she has a rare skin condition called EB. This condition is where the skin blisters a lot. Jamie has some scar tissue in her throat and also gets blisters that will pop in her throat. Even with all of those things she still has the most BEAUTIFUL VOICE! You don't believe me do you?? Well Believe it! I was so amazed with her voice and that she has fought so hard to share her amazing gift with others. She is very beautiful and tonight she released a new album, Nella Fantasia. This album is so beautifully put together, the songs are beautiful and inspiring! There were two other artists that sang with Jamie, April Meservy (an amazing friend of mine, I love her dearly) and Justin Williams (former American Idol contestant and artist). I know that these guys have some awesome websites Jamie's is www.jamiehartly.net and there is info for EB at ebsurvivors.org, April's is www.aprilmeservy.com and Justin's is www.justinwilliams.com. I went to this concert with Rob and Josh. The concert was at the most amazing home in Alpine. The concert was in the basement and as you walk in you see a giant pole that you can slide down.... Rob and Josh asked if they could and I got a video of it I will post under this. It was so funny! Listening to all Jamie has gone through really makes you grateful for what you have and grateful for Jamie working so hard to share her gift.


This was the invitation that April sent me for the concert. I had to put it up. She is so beautiful.

You never know what to expect with these boys! I thought they had left so I went to go with them and couldn't find them so I asked a girl if she had seen a tall bald man and a man with spiky blonde hair, she said she had seen them snooping around! I called Rob to find out where they were and the conversation went like this:
Rob: Hey
Kenzie: Where are you??
Rob: (talking softly) We are at the poll!
Kenzie: Are you serious?!?
Rob: (still talking softly) yes I am serious, go down stairs and look up when you get to the poll.
Kenzie: Oh my gosh, really...
Rob: (still talking softly) Just do it.
Kenzie: Did you ask if you could go up there?!?!
Rob: Yes we did! They said we could!!
So I went down stairs to the poll and looked up and low and behold there they were looking down like little boys at christmas time, so excited to be up there. I just started laughing and they kept saying they were nervous but they came down anyway and I took this video of them. Oh and this was after the concert... We aren't that rude :)

JaZz GaMe :)

I went to my first Jazz game and LOVED IT! It was a total blast! The atmosphere was phenomenal :-) It was so fun to see guys fall and get elbowed in the face and have "words" with the ref's! This was so so much fun! The Jazz won the Nets at 98 to 88! Oh words do not describe how much I loved going to the game! It was so beyond awesome ;)



Love the expression on the guys faces:) This game was amazing!

Jazon went with me to the game :) He kept laughing at my reactions.

The Nets kept calling timeouts in the last 2 minutes... it was driving me nuts!

I don't care what you say... a basketball team does NOT need Cheerleaders... waste of space..
Over all I had a BLAST! Basketball is so FUN!
