My daughter's 13th birthday, my birthday, a candidate forum, friends from out of town and the Back To School Blues Jam all came bearing down over the weekend. And it was all a phenomenal success.
My lovely daughter, Madison, is now 13 years old and it is amazing to watch how she has become so mature and caring. She is truly incredible and is so in spite of the fact that I am her father. She was born the day before my birthday and is the best birthday present any father could ever ask for.
Then, it was my birthday and my awesome wife not only busted her rear getting the Back To School Blues Jam off without a hitch, but she got me tickets to see my favorite band in the world...Creed. Will be seeing them this weekend. Absolutely amazing!
Went to a candidate forum at the Oklahoma History Center with my friend, Dave White, and he knocked it out of the park. It was a sight to behold, I tell you.
The Back To School Jam went exceptionally well, raising almost $700 for the Hugs Project - and there were lots of folks who donated items to send to our troops. It was a blessing to have the opportunity to play a little music, but really focus on the men and women who have put their lives on the line to protect our freedoms. Thank-you to Pat Paradise for donating her property for the event, to Ruth Ann and her husband for coming out and representing the Hugs Project, to all the volunteers who help set up and tear down the gear and of course, to everyone who attended and donated.
