Greetings from Nevada! I hope it’s been a great week.
Garth Brooks was AMAZING!! It was so worth waiting the almost two years from ticket purchase to actual show. The man has more energy than I think anyone on the planet! And boy oh boy, does he put on a fantastic show.
I sang and danced at my spot for the entire two-hour performance. And he didn’t stop. Fast song after fast song. Throw in a couple of slow, then back to bringing down the house with fast songs.
Allegiant Stadium, the new home to the Las Vegas Raiders, was SOLD OUT! It has 65,000 seats, and then add in I’m not sure how many floor seats, and it was PACKED. The energy was amazing. I loved every, single second of it. Except trying to get in and out of the parking lot…but that isn’t Garth’s fault.
I would watch that man in concert every single day if I could. Wow! And…Trisha Yearwood made an appearance as well. She only sang two songs – a duet with Garth to Shallow and then Walk Away Joe (an audience member had that song written on a sign and she spotted it and sang that). So even though it was short, it was so so sweet. I was so very happy!
Black Widow was great too. But nothing really compares to Garth. However, spending the day with my kids and watching a Marvel movie in the theater is a definite close second.

This week was…stressful. Lots going on personally and professionally and I haven’t slept much all week. I am ready to head back to Utah for a weekend disconnected and some much needed down time. I have a couple of books I want to read, some podcasts I want to listen to…much more things I want to do than I know I’ll have time for, and I’m okay with that. Really, I’m just excited to spend time with my family and relax a little.
One of the stressful work things is…I have to be on camera. It isn’t a “live” broadcast, but folks…I don’t know how my Dad does it! It is so nerve-wracking. We are doing a series of videos to help promote JRNL, and I am going to be the face.
Let me tell, I hope I am my worst critic. Because if anyone says anything meaner than what I’ve said about myself after watching clips, I’m not sure I can handle it! I am fidgety! The lights on the set are so bright and I look super squinty. I have to remember to keep my chin up so it doesn’t show my double chin. I sound so different on a recording than I hear when I’m talking. Seriously, it’s pure craziness. I know I’ll get better as we go, but kudos to people who do this all the time. You’re amazing!
Until next week, make it a great one!
Amy
