GENTRI

When you get a chance to go to a concert - you jump at it with both feet and a credit or debit card lol.

With my 18 yr old daughter's birthday at the beginning of this month, Ashton informed me that GENTRI was playing at the Marriott Center in Provo, Utah.

And within 5 mins, two tickets were purchased and smiles spread across, not only Ashton's face but mine also.

I have to admit, I love GENTRI'S music. 

The way they all harmonize is a delight to my ears, not to mention the three guys, 

Bradley Quinn Lever, Casey Elliot, Brad Robbins, 

are can I say, very easy on one's eyes :) 

So going to see them in concert was something I will always cherish. 

Their set list went as follows;

A million dreams

Edelweiss

Just the way you are

Medley of Broadway songs: 

If ever I would leave you (Camelot)

 Some enchanted evening (South Pacific)

   Tonight (West Side Story)

Danny Boy

Singing in the Rain/Hound Dog Piano mashup by the talented, Stephen Nelson

Believe

You are the reason

  (Which they dedicated to their wives! How darling is that!)

Somewhere over the rainbow/I'm yours (Jason Mraz) - mashup

Don't let go - This is where they played the video a long while they sang this song. Few tears were shed in the audience!

On the Outside

Dare to Dream

Bring him home (Les Mis) 

Now I have to add they also sang Let it be and one more which I didn't video :/ But both were amazing too.

Anyways, here's some pics and videos from that GENTRI'ific' night :) In which we were so lucky to get to meet the lads of GENTRI too and get all of their autographs!

One Republic Private Concert

My hubby works at Vivint and boy do they like to treat their workers to some awesome perks!  

This past weekend they had their Vivintcon.

One of those perks was a private concert by One Republic! Held at the Vivint Arena on Oct 15th. 

They had two opening acts. 

The first band were called Luxxe and they were from

Smallpools

Their music was good

Then it was time for

ONE REPUBLIC

This Picture was taken by someone in the front row! Not me though lol I wish I was that close.

Now we didn't have front row seats - boohoo! So my pictures are fuzzy and shaky (esp the video I shot) as I had to zoom all the way in but hey I was there and it was awesome! 

They sounded so good live and Ryan Tedder hit some pretty dang  high notes! I love the sound of his voice too.

How Would You Handle the label, 'The Ugliest Woman In the World.'

Lizzie Velasquez, Is an amazing Lady. She is living with a rare disease in which she has no Adipose Tissue - which means she has no fat on her body and is blind in one eye. Even though she deals with this every day, she also has to deal with, being labeled,'The ugliest Woman in the World.'

How we, as a race define how a person should be, by the way they look!

How many of us have seen some super skinny girl / boy and thought, "oh my, he/she must be anorexic, or a larger built person and thought, gosh they must only eat junk!!

We should never judge a book or a person by its cover out outer skin.

How many of us girls, have wanted to be super skinny and not have that extra inch or 4 around our belly?
Walking down the street, we may look at Lizzie Velasquez and think she is anorexic, but she isn't.

Watch how Lizzie Velasquez has become a motivational speaker and a published author! Lizzie has such a wonderful outlook on life and how 'we' should act and be towards each other.

She is an amazing lady, I know that beauty is not just what is on the outside - Beauty shines from within! and Lizzie has oodles of it :)
