Nothing Says "Fancy" Like Burgers and The Opera ...

At our church on Christmas Eve, a clip was played from "Britain's Got Talent" ... showing that we really shouldn't judge things by the package they arrive in. In the clip - Paul Potts, a cellphone salesman from Bristol, England, announces to Simon Cowell that he would be singing opera. As you can imagine ... Simon rolled his eyes and waited for an ear piercing sound to emerge. Much to everyone's surprise - what emerged from Paul Potts was anything but awful! In fact, his voice was fantastic and he ended up winning the entire competition.

After hearing the clip and learning that Paul Potts would be coming to Arizona ... we immediately bought our tickets!
My mom watched the kids and Ben and I hit the town ....

Nothing says "I'm Going to Attend the Opera" like a little pre-singing burger and fries!


Ahhh .... not bad for a self portrait!



The concert was fantastic ... we came home and bought the CD! OPERA MUSIC! Who would have thought ... there might be laundry covering the floor, dishes stacked 3 feet tall in the kitchen and dust bunnies hopping all over the place ... but now we can drown it all out with a bit of Paul Potts .... suddenly, things just don't seem quite so crazy anymore!
