The benefit concert was called “Dreamchasers.” The acts were talented individuals who are striving for a successful career in their craft. Many of them, if not all, are on YouTube and just working hard to live out their dream. Their message, said a few times throughout the night, is to find something you love and are passionate about, and pursue it…chase your dream.
I love and have passion for God, Sherwin, family and friends. I’m constantly reminding myself to chase what God has planned for my life and to pursue a deeper relationship with Him. I continue to chase and pursue life with Sherwin. We kind of had a full day today and Sherwin took care of everything; (1)lawn chairs and (2)water bottles in an igloo, all packed in the trunk for the concert. (3) Brought e-tickets. (4)Dropped us off and picked us up from the concert. (5) Brought dessert to Sonia’s for dinner. I couldn’t ask for a better person to share the rest of my life with…love you, #1. Love, love, love my family and am so grateful for friends. Tonight, Sonia patiently sat for 3 hours +, shared in my excitement and anticipation for JV and also had her husband prepare a yummy dinner for us (and we were hours late because I didn’t realize the concert would be so long)!! Sonia is also one of my BM’s and I am so thankful for her. Sonia, I agree…it doesn’t matter what we’re seeing or doing, I love being with you. Thank your coming with me tonight, for sitting thru a 3-hour concert where you don't know any of the performers, for being an awesome BM (I can't belive you bought a book on how-to be a BM!), but most of all, for being the friend you are. I couldn't imagine life without you; love you.
Sorry for the long post and for such sporadic entries. I promise to try to get better. So many life events to share, not enough time, but I hope there will be more to come soon! Below are some pictures/videos from tonight. Find what you love and are passionate about; then chase it relentlessly…enjoy!
And my fave JV (original) song...
