Thanksgiving will be here soon and I'm looking forward to spending time with my family and relatives, and eating the best meal of the year. But there is one down side this year, and it's that my son won't get to be home. The band will be in Arkansas so they will spend the holiday with Blake's (guitar player) family. But yesterday the band was playing in a town just outside Atlanta so we decided to drive over and see them. My husband invited three of his former students who love A Plea for Purging's music to go with us. I had so much fun hanging out with young people. I have progressed so much with this band being in my life that I've gone from not even realizing this kind of music existed to absolutely enjoying it. It's true -- I love watching and listening to Aaron's band play. The live concerts are the best, and very entertaining. I think these teenage boys we took with us had a great time and felt really special getting to hang out with a band. I know when I was 15 years old, that would have been so much fun. Here are some pictures from last night.

These are the boys we took with us.
This was right after we got there and met up with Aaron. He's so silly -- always having to make faces in pictures.
This was during the concert when they were doing one of the favorite songs.
This is Lyle, one of the guitar players.
In the next two pictures, the three boys got to pose with the whole band, and their favorite teacher, my husband!
Here, they got to pose with some of the girlfriends of the band members. Don't you know they can't wait to show this off to their friends!
Here I am hanging out with the young people at the merch table.
Now, to end this, here are a couple of videos I took during the concert. See the cute drummer? That's my boy!
