Love Like This!

Tonight I got to eat dinner with 4 special girls - Laurie, soon-to-be bride Hillary, Emily and Sarah Kate. We went to Olive Garden. Yum! Scott HATES OG so I can only eat there with friends. I stuffed my big belly silly.

Emily and I cheesing ! :-)

So I have an exciting give away!!!

Ayiesha Woods was a nominated New Artist of the Year at the Dove Awards this year and she has a new CD coming out on 9/9. You will love this CD - and you can check it out for yourself here and listen to the songs. If you love Christian music (or if you don't) - this will be a great CD to add to your collection.
The nice people at Gotee Records (maybe you have heard of Jennifer Knapp or Sonic Flood (love them)) are letting me give away one CD to a lucky reader! Just leave me a comment and let me know you'd love to win. Maybe listen to a few songs and let me know your favorite. (Hint: "Refine me" - LOVE IT) :-)
On Monday - I will use the random integer generator to draw a number and I'll send that person a free CD - what a deal!
And if you don't win - her CD will be available at Target as well as on-line!!!

Hey Kelly,

Your friend, Becca told me about your blog. Love it!

I see you guys tried for a couple of years before getting pregnant. This will be our 26th month of trying. I'll go back and read more of your blog but it's always encouraging to read when someone else finally gets pregnant after trying for so long.

Congrats on the pregnancy and I look forward to reading more!

Glad you had a good time at Olive Garden, and the CD looks great. It's been a LONG time since I actually got a CD - I guess that's what mp3s and the ipod does!

I found your blog through Bring the Rain, but then I realized that I also know your hubby. I'm originally from Magnolia and my parents live right down the road from Scott's parents.

Jill said...

I was fortunate enough to hear Ayiesha Woods perform with her brother at my church a couple of years ago. I immediately downloaded her song, "You Make Me Happy," onto my iPod to make working out a little happier. Love her! And, would love to win...

I read your blog every day. You are a blessing and an encouragement. You make me smile, and often, I've wished I lived closer, cuz' I would just love to hang out with you :-) I also love the sounds of your church and your church family. We are currently looking for a new church (in Michigan :-) and boy, can it be a difficult task. Anyhow, I would love to win this CD - so please pick me, pick me!! :-) Have a great day, and hug Harper today from me!

Where have I been!!!! Have I been stuck back in a cave?? I have not heard of Ayiesha Woods!! I have spent all morning listening to her!!! She is awesome!!!! I couldn't pick a favorite song!! I loved the beat of "Fight" loved the intro to "Because of You" Liked the message of "New Beginnings" and loved the words and prayer built within "Refine Me" Even if the machine doesn't pick me I'm going to by this, but I'll wait until the drawing!!!!

Kelly,
I have been reading your blog for a long time but have never left a comment. You are inspiring and seem so sweet. Every time we visit NWA(hubs is from Springdale and I went to JBU)I think of you as we pass Doe's and Mimi's. I would love to win this CD!! Didn't Ayiesha sing with Toby Mac for a while?

Hey Kelly,
What fun, a great give away!! Let me just say I LOVE learning about a new Christian artist that I have not heard of yet. So, of course I would love to be the random # picked for the CD. Even if that does not happen I will certainly down load her music, thanks for the introduction to a new artist.

Hope you have a great weekend,
Rhonda

Renee said...

Count me in, the cd sounds good. I had never heard of Ayiesha before, but enjoy listening to contemporary Christian music. I have never commented before now. I found your blog from Angie's and have enjoyed following the exciting news in your life and you have such an adorable family. I am very happy for you and Scott and was excited when you found out it was a girl. Harper will be a very blessed baby girl.

Rebecca Harber said...

I would love the chance to win this CD. I'm with you on the song "Refine Me". I've been a lurker for a while and I meant to email you and tell you that I loved your Spinach Dip recipe. I made it for a baby shower and everyone loved it. Thanks for that. Please pick me my IPOD would love this CD too. I teach sign language through music for a ministry team of teenagers at my church and I could definitely use that song. I'm always looking for some great Christian music that teenagers and adults can fall in love with and truly worship.

LeeAnn said...

I would love to win. I only listen to Christian music!
By the way, congratulations!!
