Concert Bound

This year, James and I have decided to enjoy life a little more and add a little more entertainment into our rapidly passing days. Tonight we are going to the Carrie Underwood concert. Neither one of us are necessarily country music fans but both have different reasons for attending tonight. There are a few songs that we both enjoy, however, I think James is more looking forward to seeing her in person. I can't blame him, and have to admit, she's hot.... We can now add Carrie Underwood to our concerts attended list... Billy Joel Def Leppard Styx REO Speedwagon Elton John Neil Diamond Trace Adkins Boys 2 Men You can obviously see that the range of music in our home is very broad. We are not picky, as long as it is a tune that we both enjoy. Cirque Du Soleil also came to Boise this week, so we went to the performance with some friends yesterday. I was very surprised at the level that we enjoyed this event and am very happy we decided to go. James and I do not make reference to ourselves as being cultured or artistic people, but we can appreciate the talent and beauty in a performance like that. If you get the opportunity to attend, I highly recommend you do so! I am going to try and include some Hot Topics into my blogs. With that in mind, I could not help but mention that an Idaho legend has died today. JR Simplot and his business empire has played an important part in my family history. My father has worked for his company for almost 30 years and at one point my father, brother, husband, brother-in-law and uncle-in-law were all employed by the company. They are one of the major employers in Pocatello, so there are many people that depend on his legacy to provide for their families. His passing will be discussed widely in Boise this week, so if you are curious, I am attaching a link to the news article.
