Busy Weekend and Thriving Ivory

Along with the pumpkin carving party on Sunday evening, Nate and I also drove to Fillmore with his family, and went to a concert! (All on Saturday! It added up to be a very busy day!)

Going to Fillmore is always pretty fun, and this time was especially fun! It was Great Grandma Whicker's first time seeing Capri! She was so good in the car, she was quiet and happy the whole time. Not sqirmy and antsy like her Aunt Kerianne! Nate's grandma is always so sweet, and always cooks the best lunches for us! She made us cheeseburger soup which was so yummy that I think I'll put the recipe up so anyone can make it! I am hoping to get my hands on one of those Whicker Family Cookbooks soon so I can take full advantage of the talents of the Whicker women, and their families and friends!

And, on to the concert details! Nate really likes listening to 101.9 on the radio, so he called in one day, and won tickets to a small concert to see the band Thriving Ivory. Nate had been talking about them for quite awhile, and I would listen to them with him from time to time, but never really thought much of it; anyone who knows Nate should know how much he LOVES music! So I was excited to go with him, but didn't really know the band, so was just expecting to watch him enjoy it. Let me just say... The concert was AWESOME! Thriving Ivory is such a great band. They sounded as good live as they do on their album. To be completely honest, I may like them as much, if not more than my partner in crime! (He smiles everytime he hears me humming or singing one of their songs. He takes great satisfaction in knowing he has great taste in music!) I think everyone should really give them a chance (just like Nate asked me to do!), because I think you will be happily suprised!

Listen to their video below... (You can turn off my profile music down at the bottom of this page so you can hear the video alone) Let me know what you think! I will pass it on to Nate! You can bet we'll get some more smiles out of him if we can find some more followers and fellow enjoyers! He is such a cute guy, and I am one lucky girl!
