HMS – 10 WEST DEBUT
Jared plays the drums in a band – HMS!


They sounded GREAT!
Friday afternoon Jared and I went to a concert in Williamsport – NATALIE STOVALL!
I have the pictures on my FACEBOOK already – simply because uploading pictures to FACEBOOK is much easier than uploading pictures to the blog.
Jared took off the afternoon and we left Schrute to jet down to Wmsprt to see the show.
Jared used to tease me about following Emerson Drive around the state – but now … I don’t hear him teasing me anymore.
The concert was supposed to be outside but with this wacky weather lately it was moved indoors. It was a FREE college event – with FREE peachy-orangey cotton candy – SO GOOD!
Natalie was the second act – which reminded me of Samm and I following Emerson Drive – we saw so many good people with Emerson Drive – Blake Shelton – Julie Roberts – Phil Vassar – Ty Herndon – Steve Holy – Aaron Lines – but we were there for EMERSON DRIVE!







I think that one above might be my fave from the afternoon!










I also love those two photos …




After the show Natalie started signing autographs – while in line she asked if I would get a picture of the girls in front of me with her. Since I was the real photographer. I still have a hard time thinking that of myself – the real photographer.
Here is Natalie – an AMAZINGLY talented artist getting to live out her dreams who is excited to meet ME – someone who is thanking God for the talents He has given me and that I actually get to live out my dreams too! Being a photographer full-time as my job – I can’t believe that it has happened and is continuing to happen.
Natalie and I are the same age and we are both LIVING OUR DREAM – it is so exciting!
While she signed and met more people – Jared and I talked with her hubbie James – who is such a nice guy. Who also recognized me as “the” photographer – SO COOL!



James and I …

YES – WE ARE NERDS – HARDCORE!


It was so cool to meet everyone in person this time – we have been chatting over e-mail and blogs and what not – such a crazy world we live in!
THANKS AGAIN NATALIE – JAMES – MIGUEL – JOE for your awesomeness!
Natalie Stovall – the opening act at the Josh Gracin concert – was AMAZING!
As most of you know – I love Emerson Drive and they put on a live version of “Devil Went Down to Georgia” that is incredible! I can honestly say that Natalie rivals the likes of Emerson Drive and their live show! I would love to see them together!
I had to run home to get my long lens – and am so happy I did!
I posted my pictures on my website here and then on facebook.
Natalie saw my pictures on facebook and is using my picture from the concert as her profile picture!

I am so excited!
Thanks Natalie!
She will be in Williamsport on May 1st – Friday – if anyone would like to come with!
Last night we went to yet another concert – Natalie Stovall opened for Josh Gracin – the line was much shorter than David Cook – and the weather much warmer!




Natalie was AWESOME – she plays the fiddle – something I would give my arm to be able to do …







Josh Gracin was great – so down to earth! I was so glad that he sang Stay With Me – I LOVE that song!






I LOVE that last picture!
