Later that afternoon, Pastor Corey, Nea Nea, Isaiah, Nicole, and I spent time hanging out, eating waffles and eggs...and watched the boys play video games, of course lol
A little while later, CJ, Tre, and Jasmine came through to pick up Isaiah and I to make a quick trip to the mall. We didn't have that much time to spend, but it was so great being around my family again. As soon as we got back to the Hick's, it was time to leave for the concert, so we piled into two cars and drove the hour long drive to Slidell.
The concert was at a really cool venue called, "Ohana Pier". It's a little spot where kids can go to just hang out (having a place to go rather than getting into trouble).. play video games, pool, watch football games, and theres a huge area for concerts. Plus, they had these really awesome VW buses turned into these couch things...

At the concert, we hooked up with HolyZone Records from Tampa who were also performing. During sound check, CJ got me addicted to the game Fruit Ninja on his phone..big mistake.. because 1: now I play it all the time.. and 2. CJ and I are very competitive.. It started with card games, but this began another battle now about whose the best at Fruit Ninja lol
Then, during the concert, Jasmine and I worked the merchandise table along with CJ and Isaiah. It was awesome seeing the attendees really getting into the music!
The next morning, was SUNDAY & Church at The Vine. Nicole, the kids, and I headed over to the church.. and I got to hang out with the kiddos while listening to the awesome praise team.. I have to brag on the worship at The Vine.. it is amazing.. there are so many beautiful voices and gifted men and women on the team..

After worship, the girls continued with worship as they did a praise dance which was truly beautiful. There are so many gifted and talented people at the church and Urban Reach.
I was sooo sad to leave, but it was a blessing having my parents there to participate in the church service... and for them to meet everyone on the team.. it was amazing.. For the last year, it's been so difficult to leave New Orleans and my new family down there, that I cry almost every time.. however, it's gotten so much easier knowing that I will soon be down there--I almost can't believe it.. I'm so honored to have the opportunity to do this.. THANK YOU, JESUS! :)
