Sheryl Crow & James Blunt Concert (Salt Lake City, UT)

I went to the Sheryl Crow concert last night at Usana. Camera's were not allowed or of course I would have snapped some pics. James Blunt opened for her and he rocked the house.

She sang all the oldies from my high school dayzzz...

All I Wanna Do
Are You Strong Enough To Be My Man
Leavin Las Vegas

And the newer hits...

The First Cut is the Deepest
Soak Up the Sun

She was amazing!!

Grandpa's 90th Birthday - Othello, WA

Grandpa Glen turned 90 years old over the weekend. All ten kids gathered together with their families to celebrate a great family man! So, of course I hit the road to join them in the farming town of Othello, Washington.

Happy 90th Birthday Grandpa!

Denver, CO - Bronco's vs. Cowboy's

Last weekend was the Girlfriend Getaway, this weekend was the Bronco's game with the hubby and next weekend is the family reunion. I'm trying to fit all of the weekend trips I can into the month of August. One of these days I will learn how to just stay home.

We took to the road for an 8 hr drive to Denver to watch the Bronco's in a pre-season game against the Dallas Cowboys. I have to admit I was there to see Romo, but I wore my Bronco's gear as only the wife of a Bronco's fan should.

3 things I learned...

1) Parking near Invesco Field is a nightmare. 1 mile away and $25 dollars later we were finally in the stadium.
2) Feet warmers are HEAVEN when sitting for 5 hours in the rain.
3) The Bronco's are # 1. (Sorry Tony)

Road Trippin
(Each of us listening to our own Playlists)

After presenting on Wind Energy the night before,

I was excited to see my first wind farm in Wyoming.

Everyone should learn all they can about Wind Energy.

Do you think I have enough gear?

Here they come.
I'm sure their uniforms are flame retardent.

Girlfriend Getaway - Park City, UT

I'll take any excuse to go on vacation even if it is just for the night. My girlfriends and I drove about 40 minutes away to Park City, UT and spent 24 hours eating, drinking and reading. Yes, READING! We enjoyed the final edition of the Stephenie Meyer Twilight series "Breaking Dawn." We all gave the book two thumbs up!

Check-out the pics...

It can't be all about the book, right?
