Ok so this past weekend I got the oppertunity to go to ATF, for those of you who don't know that that is it stands for Aquire The Fire. It's a big two day Christain concert where people from, where ever, come to one place and kind of in a way, celebrate God.

But anyways my ATF expierence was...I don't think I could ever explain it. It was the most life changing days of my life. I begain to see things in ways that I never could have imagined and I expierenced feelings that , honestly, I don't think that I would have ever expected. Just seeing hundreds maybe even thousands of people that are my age, standing up for God and letting their voice be hear was so overwhelming in a since that was unbelievably and truely amazing. It was a very powerful and touching weekend and i'm so glad that I got the chance to go.

The first night was kind of slow, Joel [the speaker] talked about how people jump into God's love but then they jump back out and then they jump back in again and it's this continuing cycle but the message was good and it really got to me and made me think "Am I like that?" and so later that night they had a alter call and I went down to it, got on my knees and from that point on I decided that I was not going to keep jumping in and out of God's love...i'm gonna jump in with everything and i'm not jumpig back out again, I am gonna stay in the ocean on God's love. Of couse the alter call was a very emotional time for me, I let everything out, every little thing that was on my mind...I even cried but it felt so right and it felt so good to do it.

now the second night....it was even bette than the first! By the second night I really just got into the whole mood and feeling and decided that I was gonna let go. I danced harded and sang louder than I ever have in my life and it was great, at that time I felt like I was on top of the world and like nothing could ever bring me down even if it wanted to.

Also the second night they had a second alter call which I also did for the second time but this time it was special...it was so much more than what some people thought it was....at one point me and my friend Cassie had linked arms and had our other arm in the air singing the song and this lady saw us and was so moved that she came and kneeled down in front of us and started praying for us and to me that felt amazing knowing that I touched someone in such a way that they prayed for me right in front of me.

I went into ATF not real sure on what to expect since it had been so long since i last went to ATF but I came out a different person and with an expierce of a lifetime...one that I will never forget, one that turnt my life around for the good.

Now for my big news...i might be going on a mission trip this summer to Mexico...its not for sure yet but if i do go then i will be leaving in July and won't be back untill August 2. I will be going to Mexico with a band called Unhindered to help build a home for a family who can't afford it so i really really hope that i get to go. if i do then that means i wont be on this fansite for a whole month.

Recently I have been getting made fun of and teased to no end just because I like the Jonas Brothers and one person had the nerve to come out and tell me that I was a "****" just because I liked the Jonas Brothers. Well I would just love to say that if im a "****" for likeing the Jonas Brothers then I'm proud to be one. I refuse to let anyone bring me down for liking...no loveing those boys.

Also a few people have asked me why in the world I liked Kevin so much when he is just "ugly" or note "cute"....I would like to say WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU? Kevin is just as good looking as Joe or Nick!

Because of that I have decided to write a letter to Kevin =]

this is what I had to say:

Dear Kevin,

I would like to start this letter with the fact that you are truely an all around amazing guy in every possible way. You are honestly one of my biggest inspirations and I don't think that I could ever express that enough. I love how you always have a smile on your face and you have the most adorable laugh ever. Everytime I see or hear you laugh I can't help but put a big smile on my face and then laugh with you, even if I don't have a reason to. Your smile is just as great and just simple makes my heart melt.

You are by far the most sweetest guy that I have ever met. The day I met you was the day that I felt like I was the luckiest girl in the world and like I was on top of the world. I cried the day I met you, not because I was sad or excited but because I was just so overwhelmed with happiness at the fact that I actually got to meet you and talk to you. It was truely a perfect day and the best day of my life and to top it all off you hugged me when I started to cry and told me that I was a really sweet girl and that you were gald to have met me and thats something that I took to heart and will never forget.

Through the years you have changed so much and have been so successful and i'm so proud of you. It has been so exciting to stand by you as a fan and watch you grow up and gain so much success and know that I, as a fan, helped you get there. It is honestly a really great feeling and even after all of this and your busy schedual you still find time to talk to your fans and let them know that you do care about them and that you love them.

I can't wait to see what you have in store for us, the fans, this year but I know that no matter what it is, you will do so much good with it and you will put all of your effort into it to make it something great.

I just want to thank you so much for letting us know that you do care for your fans and for taking the time out of your busy schedual to keep us updated on whats going on in the Jonas Brothers world. It has been a great ride so far and I know that you still have a lot ahead of you and wish you the best of luck.

Ok so I'm gonna tell you about my JB concert expierence. I went Feb 24th to Louisville [yeah i know, a little late to be posting about it] and it was also my first out of state concert so it was a 2 1/2 hour trip from Indiana to Lousiville but it was totally worth the 2 1/2 hours!

Well we arrived at the Louisville Palace Theater around 5:55, only 5 minutes before the doors opened! So me, Cassie, Pez, and Ariel stood in line when all of a sudden all you could hear was people chanting "Jonas! Jonas! Jonas! Jonas!" and so we started chanting their name also as loud as we possibly could and of couse all these adults that were making sure their kids were ok just looked at all of us like we were totally crazy and had some serious mental problems lol. We could see people in the Parking garage hanging Jonas Brothers signs over the ledges 2-4 levels high!

Finally the doors opened and it was like a crazy, out of control mob of people! Everyone was pushing their way to the front so that they could get into the door and there was secrutiy everywhere trying to hold people back and get them into lines which took a lot of effort since everyone was trying to get as close as the could to the person in front of them in hopes that they could get in faster.

Eventually all 4 of us were able to get in and the main lobby was so insanely crowed that we could even begin to get near any merchandise tables or anything so we did the only thing we really could do....go find our seats. Our seats were in the 2nd to last row of the balcany but they were actually not that bad because we could see the stage and the people on the stage crystal clear! it was almost like we were actually closer than we really were which was really awesome. Eventually Roonie [sp?] came on and they actually wern't all that bad. They sang for abour half and hour and then they went to a intermission to get the Jonas Brothers ready and so we took this oppertunity and like raced down the stairs and then sprinted over to the merchandise table and there we were able to get a little flashing glow stick thing that said Jonas Brothers on it and flahsed like a ton of different colors and then I was also able to buy a JB purse which is uber cute and I totally love it.

After buying all of our Jonas Brothers stuff we raced back up the stairs to make sure that JB hadn't started yet which they haden't and then all of a sudden the air in the room thickend so everyone knew that JB was gonna come on any second and so the WHOLE CROWD sang "We will, We will rock you!"untill the Jonas Brothers finally came out and let me tell you....I never knew that I could scream as loud as I did...Even my friends looked surprsied.

So pretty much thought out the whole entire concert me, Cassie, Ariel and Pez just sang to every single song, danced the whole time, jumped, screamed and just had a really awesome time. It was like the best night of my life EVER!

One of the more memorable things was when everyone got dead silent and then all of a sudden I screamed at the top of my lungs "You rock Kevin, your the best!" and he just walked up to the mic and said he loved me and that thanked me =]

so that was my concert expierence =]
