Day #5 and #6

Day 5 Family Arrives/Universal Studios:

Today Tiffany, Brian and Caleb came from GA!! It is so great having them here, Kym is so excited to have her sis, brother-in-law and nephew here to share in her dream! We went to Universal Studios for the afternoon. For lunch we ate at Hardrock Cafe and then went into Island of Adventures at Universal! We rode on a water ride that soaked us to the bone!!! haha

Day 6 Meeting Mercy Me!!

From Kymmie: At first when they were talking to me I couldn't believe it was them, then it finally hit me! Then they told me all of thier names and what important role they played in the group, and I thought it was cool. Woa it finally hit me to hear all of their voices talking around me, I realized I was in the backstage area for the 6 guys from Mercy Me. I told them I knew all the words to all the songs, except for the songs they haven't written yet, and the guys said Bart always screws up the lyrics; so they gave me permission to let him know when he messes up the lyrics tonight! . Dad called Bart... Baaaht (there is no r in his name anymore), and we introduced them to the Maine accent. Then Dad said when it started raining that it was like yesterday when we were on the ride at Universal Studios and I said, no its not, because Bart wasn't there. They offered to sign my frame, and two t-shirts writting their names and what their role is in the band. We talked about my brain, how my music memory was not effected in the accident and that I have a great music memory, and then Bart said I need to keep working on my Mercy Me lobe! haha Standing there right before we said goodbye I couldn't believe that I had just hung around Mercy Me and fulfilled my dream!! God made it so much more than I expected!!! They were all very down to earth people and spent a lot of time with us, and took the extra time to meet each one of the people that came with me (Mom, Dad, Joe, Tiff, Brian, Caleb, and Mandy). It was very evident that God was with us in this meeting. Walking away I was realizing what just happened and thought of how amazing it was!

Well gotta jet, computer is dying!!! Concert is tonight and we are all soooo pumped!!!

Oh my goodness--what an amazing trip you guys have had and today what words could possibly describe it? Mandy I am so happy you had to chance to meet them and were able to be such a big part of Kyms dream. Daddy and I were having lunch when I received your text--Thanks for thinking of me, I couldn't wait to tell the girl's, they were so excited for all of you.
God is great isn't he:) We love and miss you and hope everyone is having a WONDERFUL time. Tell Mom she is an incredible inspiration to me and hope she is feeling well. Tell Kymmie we said "Woooohooo she saw Mercy Me" oh and that Not only will she ALWAYS remember this, they too will walk away always remembering Amazing Kymmie:)
I LOVE YOU SWEETIE,
