Diamond Rio - Beautiful Mess

The Story of Diamond Rio by Diamond Rio and Tom Roland.



The book is about the life of six men who are apart of the country and western band, Diamond Rio. There are a lot of pictures in the book, showing each man's childhood and families.


If you are a fan of Diamond Rio, you will love this book! But, I don't really know too much about them and found the story line to drag a bit. I tried to get into the book several times, but felt they used too much filler information to make each chapter stretch. I guess I was hoping for a story that was filled with more meat of Diamond Rio's history so I could get to know them as individuals. I found that I learned about a band who had to work hard to make it in the C and W music community. How it was hard because they started at an amusement park then tried to break free of the stigma.


If you are a country and western fan and even more important, a fan of Diamond Rio, you will enjoy this book. If not, I'd not recommend it.

One thing I did LIKE about this book, if you purchase this book, you either get it in ebook or audio version!

I have a book to give away, so if you are a fan, comment and will do a drawing! (Please comment by Feb 20th)



Or you can go to your local Family Christan Store to pick up a copy!

Cancelled

What a busy crazy day! Curt left right away this morning around 7 to get his blood taken.  He got back and then Audrey got here.  We played and picked up for a bit then left to go to the Health Department to get our TB test done.  We got there around 10ish and they told us we needed to make an appointment.  So we waited for a bit to make an appointment.  Thankfully they had an opening for today yet.  They only do these tests on Friday, so we really didn't want to have to wait until next Friday if at all possible.  Got an appointment for 1:15 and 1:30.  I was thinking ugh, either no nap and very little nap, but I didn't care!  ;) Got home, cleaned up a bit more, got the kiddos some lunch, then we turned around and left to go back to the Health Department.  (I did NOT see the water guy! ;)) Got back there, got asked some questions, wanted to know why I need the test...  I said adoption.  They saw all the other 5 kids and as...

Run-Aways

Wow, this has seriously been an eventful week! Starting off with the whole fabric softener mis-hap, which you can read on here if you didn't see or hear about it! Then Curt left Monday nite, Tuesday, well, it was ok, we had mom's group and the kids were acting up a bit, but nothing too bad... Then Wednesday I had a meeting at the church... It started out ok, the meeting wasn't long at all! Gavin came into the room and said he wanted to go play outside on the playground. I told him no, because I couldn't see him. I said, what if someone came by and picked you up and grabbed you and took you somewhere? Mommy would never see you again and I would be soooo sad! I said, I can't see you, so you need to stay inside. Well, not more than 3 minutes passed and Kotah comes up to me and says, uh, mom, Gavin is trying to go outside. So, I get up, go over to him and talk. I asked him what is he doing? he says, I WANT to play OUTSIDE! I said, bubby, I can't see you, so you can...

Update on Dad...

Mom called a little while ago. Dad will be admitted, they aren't sure yet what caused the pain. He had fever, but it now is broken. He is also a little jaundice, so that is why they were/are thinking that his stent moved... They had to poke him 3 different times to try and get an IV in, his veins were so tight because he was in so much pain, he was tensing up. They took some blood from both arms and are still waiting on the results of that. They also did a chest x-ray. So still waiting, but atleast he isn't in any pain. The gave him a shot of morphine to take care of the pain, and it finally worked.
