Beauty And The Beast

We all know the Disney's movie Beauty And The Beast, right? 

Sure of course you do. 

Whether it be the 1991 version

The 1991 version has been a long time favorite of mine and my eldest daughter (who is 27!)

 or the 2017 version

 But this past Friday I took Seren and Carys along with Jason  to see the 2017 Beauty And The Beast. 

It was wonderful! 

Each actor portraying the beloved animated version were amazing and what a cast it was:

Dan Stevens as the Beast

Emma Watson as Belle

Luke Evans as Gaston

Josh Gad as Lafou

Ewan Mcgregor as Lumiere

Sir Ian Mckellen as Cogsworth

Emma Thompson as Mrs. Potts

Not to mention all the many other wonderful actors!

The movie is a hit! Also, hitting amazing box office figures.  

I also loved the added songs, my favorite being sung by

 The Beast called Evermore.

Eric Church Concert At Vivint Smart Home Arena 2017

Yesterday was a first for both my other half - Jason and myself to go to a country music concert at the Vivint Samrt Home Arena in Utah

You could of called us Country Concert Virgins lol

The Concert - Eric Church - Holdin' my own tour

And boy what a concert it was! 

Jason was lucky enough (thx to his boss to obtain two tickets to go) and needless to say we got to sit in the Vivint Suite too which we got food and dessert!

I must say I loved it! 

And I quite surprised myself that I knew more than three songs lol.

And I did manage to do some vid's of Eric and I'm not even going to apologize for the video stream bomb :)
