My aunt and uncle are coming to visit this weekend for an extended weekend visit. I have to say I feel pretty special knowing that they are visiting because they want to see me (now that I am home from the hospital) and just make sure I really am doing as well as I say I am. I haven't seen them in a long time and they are always so much fun to be around so I am sure it will be a great visit! Jamie is coming home to join in the festivities and celebrate with us.
We had a wonderful time with Sandi and Bobby, they stayed at the hotel del in Coronado so we got to spend some time in Coronado too. Sandi and Bobby took the family to the coolest concert at Balboa theater in downtown San Diego. We saw a group called Straight No Chaser and I have to say, they were amazing! Here's some information straight from their website:
"If the phrase "male a cappella group" conjures up an image of students in blue blazers, ties, and khakis singing traditional college songs on ivied campuses... think again. Straight No Chaser (SNC) are neither strait-laced nor straight-faced, but neither are they vaudeville-style kitsch."
"Originally formed over a dozen years ago while students together at Indiana University, the group has reassembled and reemerged as a phenomenon – with a massive fanbase, over 20 million views on YouTube, numerous national TV appearances, and proven success with two holiday releases, 2008’s HOLIDAY SPIRITS and 2009’s CHRISTMAS CHEERS. In an era when so much pop music is the product of digital processing and vocal pro-tooling, Straight No Chaser is the real deal – the captivating sound of ten unadulterated human voices coming together to make extraordinary music that is moving people in a fundamental sense... and with a sense of humor."
If you get the chance you really should go see them! It was an amazing show and its hard to believe that there are no instruments in their show, just voices - extremely beautiful voices.
Sadly, our visit with Sandi and Bobby has come to an end. Jamie did spice up their visit by announcing that she is expecting a baby in December - holy crap, I am SO excited! Sandi and Bobby head back to Atlanta today, I hope I get to see them again soon!
