First official weekend of the Move Tour is complete, and it was the longest weekend of the tour. 5 shows last weekend makes for a tiring week. It was a fun week even though it was considered "work." We had a two night show in Indianapolis after I took a $100 cab ride to the church venue. We then drove to Wakeusha, WI where I got to enjoy some games of pick up basketball with Tenth Avenue North and some members of Third Day. Pretty cool experience although I still could use some brushing up on my basketball skills. Mike from Tenth Avenue was a beast along with Brendon McCarthy ( Who is married to Rachel Lampa btw). I found I am traveling with a lot of experienced and high profile people which makes me feel slightly out of place but is also very exciting.
Davenport, IA was interesting. The venue was at an old Theatre and the lobby space for our booths was less then adequate. I got to know my volunteers quite well during this show to say the least. We then traveled to Grand Rapids where I spent some long awaited time with my cousins at lunch. It was such a blessing to see them and get to talk with some family whom I hadn't seen in more then 3 years. My little cousins help me set up the lobby booth and I must say it was some great help. Its weird getting used to this schedule as my weekends are now considered Monday and Tuesday. Hung out with the roomates and went to see Battle: LA which was entertaining but slightly corny.
It is amazing to see the impact that our school is having on this country. The other day I received a message from a high schooler who volunteered at our booth. She said she was really excitied about Grand Canyon University and that she is now telling all of her high school friends. I didnt know how much of an impact this booth would have on people and it is very encouraging to be witnessing these things.
This weekend I get to spend time with an old High school friend in Texas. Getting to see friends and family is a great perk to this job as I have friends and family all over the country. I am still looking for a car but my roomates have made it clear that they can drive me if I dont get a car soon, which is wonderful. so here I am, sitting at Sky Harbor Airport waiting for my flight to Nashville to catch a ride on the tour bus. Traveling life is tiring but extremely exciting and I cannot wait to see what this weekend brings.
