The Worthey Family: Chase's AWESOME weekend!

On Thursday, May 12th Chase started with the usual question. Can _________ (whoever it happens to be each week) spend the night? This week the blank was filled by Sydni! Sydni and Chase have gotten to be close friends from church, Sydni isn't actually a member of our church, but her grandparents are, so Sydni comes with them quite often and long story short, she and Chase hit it off and became good friends! As part of the spending the night, they wanted me to take them to a ball game (Church softball) then Sydni's mom was going to pick them up from there, and they were all going shopping for a formal dress for Sydni! So far nothing out of the ordinary! This is a pretty common occurrence at our house, Chase rarely has a weekend that someone is not spending the night and they aren't wanting me to play chauffeur!!

Friday night went as planned, we met up after school got Sydni, brought home Chick-fil-a and Chase and Sydni spun flags, rifles, and Chase's new sabre most of the night...Now this is where we insert the "AWESOME" weekend...Saturday morning Sydni's dad called (He's a firefighter here in Coweta County) and asked if they wanted to be in a Country Music Video!! UH- YEAH!!! This is about the time the screaming started!! Screams of Joy of course!!!

Let me back up just a little, a local firefighter is fighting stage 4 cancer, and a new country star Corbette Jackson, who happens to be from the Newnan area, wrote a song for him called "Heart of a Champion", if you haven't heard it, look it up on youtube it's a great song! Corbette Jackson has raised alot of money for this firefighter by doing benefit fundraisers and such! ~ So Sydni and Chase both love Corbette Jackson, he's young and cute (too old for them) , but they are teenagers, they love him none the less!! So when Sydni's dad called and said get to the fire station and you and Chase can possibly be in the music video with Corbette Jackson for "Heart of a Champion" they flipped out!!!

Sydni was rushing to do her make up and I said maybe they will have someone there doing your hair and make up! She looked at me and said "There's something wrong with my hair??" OOPS, wrong thing for me to say at that moment!! They both finally got themselves together and I took them to the fire station! They had a blast!! They both got to meet Corbette Jackson and had pictures made, they were also asked if they knew anyone that had passed away due to cancer to write a poster in memory of them. Chase chose to make a poster in memory of my best friend, Nan Wallace that passed away in 1998 from cancer. Chase was only 2 years old when Nan passed away, but she still knows Nan because we talk about her often!! They were there from about 10am to 3pm, but they had the time of their lives! We don't know when the video is due to come out, but if you happen to be watching CMT and the video for Heart of a Champion comes on look for Chase!! :))
