ben rector and needtobreathe

my mom won nate and i tickets to see needtobreathe in concert nov 4! we were pumped! the concert was in t-town... as was the "biggest game of the century" the next day, and half of the southeast. but... despite the warnings to allow 2-3 extra hours of travel time... it only took a little over an hour to get there. we found a nice little italian place to eat, then waited for the doors to open. we finally got in and found a pretty good seat!

so we had no idea who would be opening for n2b. turns out it was a guy named ben rector and his band. and now, nate and i LOVE him! his music is really good... a lot are love songs. look him up... one of our favs is called "she is." 


the lighting was dim but not too crazy while ben was singing.. so i was able to get some good pics. with my NEW camera that is! :-)
 self portrait... a must.

 finally... it was time for NEEDTOBREATHE! and they were awesome!!
their lighting however, was crazy. so i didn't get a ton of good shots. but it's ok. but it was just incredible to see them perform live. one of the best concerts we've ever been to for real!
 at the end... they did an accoustic set that was phenominal. wow... wish we would have recorded it.
 we love love loved needtobreathe before their concert... but funny how much we love them even more after seeing them. i've listened to mostly ben rector and n2b the past week!
 if by some chance you haven't heard some of n2b's songs... please... go check them out! i have several favorites... but just a few of them are something beautiful, let us love, and slumber.  
 happy early birthday to me! it was a fantastic gift... thanks mom for your luck of ticket winning on wdjc! :) it was also a wonderful date nite for nate and i. and thanks to meme for watching the kids so we could enjoy this nite without them! :)

this def goes down in history as one of the best shows ever. only behind third day when we got engaged, jeremy camp, and my latest love, zac brown! if you happened to miss the zbb post... you can go read it here!  :)
