There are not enough words to describe the awesomeness of my trip to Atlanta to see U2 and visit with friends. The show was full of awesome. A friend of a friend said that Bono was the best worship leader that she’d ever had and I’ll have to second that. I think the show was specially tailored to show off their “We’re all about that love and peace business.” side. Here’s the set list:
\nBreathe
\nPut on Your Boots
\nMysterious Ways
\nBeautiful Day
\nI Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For
\nStand By Me
\nStuck in the Moment (acoustic)
\nNo Line on the Horizon
\nMagnificent
\nElevation
\nEnd of the World
\nThe Unforgettable Fire
\nCity of Blinding Lights
\nVertigo
\nI’ll Go Crazy if I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight (very wacky remix)
\nSunday Bloody Sunday
\nMLK
\nWalk On
\nOne
\nAmazing Grace
\nWhere the Streets Have No Name
\nUltaviolet
\nWith or Without You
\nMoment of Surrender<\/p>\n

I loved every minute of the show but I was\/am a bit taken aback that my favorite song of the show was “Ultraviolet.” It’s never been a particular favorite of mine but the song combined with the light show and the smoke was really eerie, interesting and moving. My other highlights of the show was Danielle nearly pinching my arm off during the remix of “Crazy Tonight” and her leaning over to tell me that the name of the song “MLK” was “MLK” and then my reply that I knew that because I’ve been singing it to my children at bedtime for the past five years and then the lady behind me giving me a funny look because of it. And the dancing and the screaming of the “Woo!” There was much “Woo!” screaming. I had a blast.<\/p>\n

Danielle and Kat and I also visit Ikea on Tuesday where I proceeded to buy the place out. I love me some Ikea. If my house ever burns down and I have to start over from scratch, I’m doing everything in Ikea because it’s so cool.<\/p>\n

While Mom was here this past weekend, we redid Liza’s room with some of Ikea purchases. She’s now in the big girl bed and doing really well with it.
\n\"DORA!
\nMore pictures to come once we get the new light fixture hung.<\/em><\/p>\n

I also got a ton of books as birthday gifts:
\n\"Crafty
\nAll of them are awesome! Thanks to everyone who bought me a new book! It’s gonna take me a while to get through them all but I’m so excited about each and every one. The bonus awesome goes to Fahmida for the book she made of our trip to Japan. It’s made me so homesick to go back.<\/p>\n

And lastly, if you’ve made it this far you deserve a cute kid photo:
\n\"Hiding
\nThey thought they were hiding in the shower. I didn’t have the heart to tell them that if they are shrieking at the top of their lungs, they are pretty easy to find.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
