Matthew West

On July 3, 2008 I went to Brooksville for my 2nd time at FreedomFest. Last year I went on vacation to it to see Mark Schultz. This year I live here, so it was easy for me to go see Matthew West. It was at a new location this year with lots of room. Matthew West rocks!! He really puts on a fantastic show and can come up with funny songs and stories on the spot. I came home with 3 new CD's to enjoy and I'll be going to one of his shows for Night of Joy at Disney in Sept. Can't wait!

July 4, 2008 at Sea World

On July 4 I was at Sea World. For many years in a row now I have been in Florida for July 4. Usually on vacation. This was my first July 4 as a local. I had a great time at Sea World. It was pretty busy, but fun! My mom joined me after she finished working that day and we watched the fireworks.

Singer Matthew West In Town

June 27, 2008 I went to The Joy FM radio event the Summer Cruise 3: June 23rd - 27th which featured Matthew West all week at 9 stops around Florida and a contest called “Where in the World is Carmen's Pink Flamingo?" I woke up at 5:30am to go hunting for a pink flamingo. The first clue was about a RV so we went to the RV store that was right on that road, and searched high and low. But the second clue led us to believe they were talking about the RV they had been using all week. I figured out it was hidden at the radio station, which was 8+ miles from where we were and by the time we arrived it was gone. It was great fun though to play. My mom was in town that weekend and we registered to win Disney Night of Joy VIP Vacation tickets that the Morning Cruise was giving away. We arrived at the restaurant at 6 a.m. and picked up 2 limited edition Summer Cruise 3 t-shirts, only 100 per city. Matthew was really nice and asked my name when he autographed my new CD. His music is great. It was a Friday so I only had to work from 10 to 4.
