In my home this weekend there was a lot of talk about our trip to New Orleans this summer. You see, this July is our church's youth gathering and I am on the planning committee. I am super excited for my children to experience a youth gathering at a young age and see what they have to look forward to. It isn't often you get to be in a place with over 25,000 youth in attendance, all of whom BELIEVE the same thing. It's pretty awesome and overwhelming. Another reason that I'm really anxious about sharing this with Dallas specifically is that when I was pregnant with him and I walked into a mass event I felt him move for the first time. He was moving in response to the loud music. To this day, my boy loves music and singing and I know that the gathering was were he was first exposed to it. So, I want to see his 5 year old face light up when he walks into the superdome and experiences it again. Oh, I'm just all goose-bumpy thinking about it.
This weekend as we are talking about it; I mention that I'm excited for the kids to experience a new city....New Orleans. One of my goals as a parent is to have my kids visit lots of places as my parents did for me. Dallas hears this and says "New Orleans sounds good, but I want to experience Chicago"
