Heeeeeeelllllllllllloooooo!!!!! So I'm doing better with this haha its been less than a week and I am writing in this! You should all be proud of me :P anyways, on wednesday of last week I got to sing in Temple Square with my school choir! It was a blast. We got there and performed then went to the gateway mall for dinner. I had dinner with my friends Brittany and Dominic. We had panda express lol. After we are we walked around the mall and went to a rail and did the Tarzan call. It was pretty hilarious. We had to go meet back at Temple Square for the bus then me and a big group of people started doing the hokey pokey and singing Jingle Bombs (Achmed the Dead Terrorist in case you dont know). That same day my parents left for Las Vegas with my dads client and some other people so Bryan and I were all alone haha. On Thursday we did some Christmas shopping for my dad then on Friday we didnt really do much. Saturday we did Christmas shopping for my mom, went to Jamba Juice and went out for dinner. We spent 50 bucks on dinner! It was ridiculous! But super good lol. Sunday the parental units came home. Then we went to some German Christmas song thing. It was really scary haha and boring. It was all in German and we didnt like it much. Needless to say we left halfway through it. So that has been my life for the passed little while haha.
This last week I discovered a webside called mylifeisaverage.com. My life has been so empty without it lol. If you have no clue what it is I highly recommend you check it out. Its pretty funny.
So here is the song of the day. Sorry I dont have pictures for you but next blog I will haha. ttyl!
♥Lyssa

Song of the Day: So since its Christmas time I'm gonna do Christmas songs until Christmas is over so todays song is The Chipmunk Song! If you havent heard this song most likely you live under a rock and your life has had an empty hole in it for a very long time. Just listen to it haha.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeyyy!!! So since I last wrote amazingness happened!! On the 24th (last tuesday) I went to the David Archuleta Christmas concert with VIP tickets! We were told to be at abravanell hall at 330 so my mom and I got there at 3. We waited in the cold for half an hour and they let us in. We got to buy stuff and we got our official VIP things that go around your neck. We were then taken into a room with a bunch of chairs, food and a photo screen thingy. The orgainizer of this thing Kristin came in and told us that we were going to head down to the stage area and see some of Davids soundcheck. We got down there and he sang The Riddle (new favorite song) and The Melodies of Christmas (which he wrote). After he sang those we got to do a Q&A. Someone asked him if he would sing You Raise Me Up. He said that his voice was really tired so it might not sound too good but he sang a small part of it anyways. I about died. It was AMAZING. I wish he would have sang the whole thing. After that someone asked him if he has ever been asked to compromise his standards for anything. After that I dont remember what the last question was lol. When the Q&A was over we went back up to the room we were in before. Kristin talked to us for a second and we got food then David walked in the room. Everyone started clapping and a couple people screamed. We all got in line for a picture with him! It was finally my turn. I went and stood next to him and the girl taking the pictures was having some problems with the camera so I got to stand there for a little while longer. He asked me what my name was then told me what his name was (as if i needed to know that lol) to which I giggled and he smiled. Then he asked me how I was doing and then I asked him how he was doing. He told me that he was doing awesome and that it was crazy to be back on tour again. The girl fixed her camera and took the picture. I wanted a hug so I asked him for one. He looked me in the eyes and smiled and went "mhmm" then he put his arms around me. We let go of each other and I told him thanks and he giggled a little and said your welcome. I went and got food and my VIP goodie bag thing and went and sat on the floor in front of him just so I could stare at him lol. He does lots of cute things if you get to just sit there and watch him. After pictures his tour manager stole him away so he could warm up and get ready for the show. After just hangin out we got to go into the venue! We had gotten our seats that day and we were in the second row! We sat down and Benton Paul came on. He is amazing. I've seen him like 3 times now and I just love his voice. Then the lights dimmed and we all knew what was coming. David came out and started singing all the songs everyone knows (crush, ALTNOY, Zero Gravity) and he had to take some time to tie his shoe haha it was cute. Then he sang The Riddle, Fields of Gold and Prayer of the Children (which made me cry). Then everything went dark and he said he would be right back. He came back in a suit and tie! The shirt under the suit was purple and he looked amazing. He then sang tons of Christmas songs from his album. He even did a duet with his mom! His set was over and we sat there and screamed and he came out for an encore. He sang Oh Holy Night for his encore and it was amazing. Again, I cried lol. Okay so thats enough about that (eventhough I could go on forever)

Tomorrow we are singing in SLC (with choir haha) and my parents will be leaving for Vegas. I get the house to myself for 4 days! Oh and my brother will be home too.

Thanksgiving was nice. We ate tons of food and played Yatzee! Its December now and I'm excited. I love Christmas. I already have Christmas stuff on my iPod and we put up our tree last night. Anyways, I'm gonna go now. This has gotten kinda long haha. Ttyl!!

♥Lyssa

Well the pictures are of Davids concert. I could put up more but that would take forever so here are the 3 I have!

Song of the Day: The Riddle -Five for Fighting. I'm not going to put up a youtube video of it cuz this is already too long so if you're interested go look it up. If you want to you can search David Archuleta The Riddle on youtube and you can hear his version of it. I think its better lol.

Intoducing the band. I love his smile :D
A Little Too Not Over You

Mmmmkay. I've been kinda lazy and keep not updating so sorry about that I've just been kinda busy and stressed out lately with college and scholarships and all. I dont wanna grow up! Its too hard! Anyways, the MJ movie was AMAZING! It made me realize how much of a musical genius he was. Even if you dont like him I recommend this movie just to see all the stuff that went into the tour he was going to go on.
On Thursday I went to the gateway with the fashion club. I have pictures that I will put towards the end. This last Sunday was my dad's birthday! I have no idea how old he is. Everytime I ask he always says he's too old :/ go figure lol.
So this Sunday I'm singing in church with the young women and they decided they wanted me and this other girl to do a duet together....I'm kinda freaking out I'm not gonna lie. Next Tuesday my mom and I are going to David Archuleta's Christmas concert with VIP passes and all that jazz!! Its an early Christmas present :D :D I get to meet him and get pictures taken with him, ask him questions, have a small concert and we get free stuff :D I'm super excited!!
Well gotta go! Here are some pictures and the song of the day!!
♥Lyssa

Me and Brittany with a clothes display thing! (yeah I forgot what it was called)
Sammie, Brittany and Me in my car on the way to the school!

Song Of the Day: Russian Roulette -Rihanna This song came out not too long ago and I LOVE it. I was goint to put the music video on here but its kinda weird so I decided not to. Its in my playlist on the sdie bar over there ------->

11.01.09

Uhhh-ohhhh! I'm a bad person :( its been almost a month! October was just so busy that I forgot to write in this thingamajig. K so ya know how I was talking about that All State choir thing like forever ago? yeah. well it was amazing! I'll post a pic of my friend Jenni and I with our director. His name was Dr. James Jordan. He's probably one of the most amazing people I have ever met in my entire life. He is an amazing teacher. He would get us to sing a certain way by just making us think about something or doing some weird action with our hands. We got to sing in the Salt Lake Tabernacle like where Motab sings every sunday. It was the coolest experience ever, completely life changing :) My friend Paul who got to do this choir thing as well got a Book Of Mormon and had all 700 of us highlight a scripture and put our testimony in it. Our director was not a member of the church and my friend said that when he gave it to him he was completely speachless and just cried. It would be cool if he looked into the church because of that book we gave him :)

After All State was over we had Fall Break! We went to California and went to Sea World and the Zoo and all that jazz. There is so much I could say about that since tons of crap happened with our lame hotel (never stay at the Bahia) but I'm not gonna rant about that lol.

After Fall Break there was a choir concert. Pretty much it was just like any other choir concert. Nothin special but fun! After the concert my friend Hannah and I went with our friends Tyson and Tyler and got ice cream with like 50 other choir kids. It was a blast.

This last week my mom and I went to the Haunted Canyon train ride in Heber. It was pretty fun. There was a guy dressed up as a prisoner that wanted to come home with us :/ he was cool though. We decided to name him Greg.

Yesterday was Halloween! Halloween is not a holiday that I especially like but whatever. I dressed up as Michael Jackson! It was kinda a last minute thing so it didnt look very good but oh well I enjoyed walking around with a sparkley glove lol

This week we're going to the Michael Jackson movie so I'll let you know how that is. This month is gonna be a blast and sometime you will be getting a David Archuleta filled post so beware of that. hahahahaha well in order to stop my rambling I will pick a song and post some pics. Love ya!

♥Lyssa

Song of the day: If Everyone Cared -Nickelback. This song is extremely inspirational. Its been around for awhile so you have probably heard it but just listen to it and think about the message in the song :)

My friend Jenni, Dr. James Jordan and Me!

10.02.09

Holy wow I havent witten in awhile (not that it matters no one really reads this anyways) but stuff has actually happened to me lately!
My Grandma came down from Idaho and spent a weekend with us and it was almost torture but not quite. I got to miss school to go with my mom to the airport to go pick her up so that was really nice. That Sunday I was called to be the 1st counsler in the yw laurals thingy. I havent had a calling in a loooong time so we'll see how this goes.
On the 25th we had our homecoming game and of course we lost haha yeah we suck at football at my school its really lame. Before the game we had the homecoming carnival. I went with my friend Brittany and we took some pretty funny pics so I'll post a couple of those. It was also the homecoming dance and I didnt get asked so I didnt go. Instead my dad took me to the BYU football game! After the game we had panda express and it was probably much better than homecoming. GO BYU!!
Sometime during all this my choir teacher asked me and a few other people if we wanted to be in All State Choir. All State Choir is when each choir teacher in the state picks one or two students from each section (S1, S2, A1, A2, T1, T2, Bass, Bairtone) and they have to memorize some songs and perform with all the other students all the other teachers have chosen so I've been working my butt off trying to get these songs memorized and our performance is next week on Saturday! There are going to be a little over 700 people besides me performing so its gonna be awesome. I even get to miss school on Friday for an all day rehearsal!
Last week my choir teacher also announced where we're going for choir tour! We're going to San Diego!!!!!! I'm super excited like you have no idea! Okay well In order to keep this short I'm going to post pictures and a song. Ttfn, ta ta for now!
♥Lyssa

Song of the day: Live Like We're Dying -Kris Allen

This is a cover of a song by a band called The Script. I love the message of this song and I just love Kris' voice with it. Look up the lyrics they are amazing! Kris is awesome too though. His album is going to be awesome. I'm super glad he won AI :)

Me Brittany and Timmy the T-wolf lol

Happy September! I'm getting better at updating this like every week! you all should be proud of me :)
Okay so on Wednesday I got a car! Its a Hyndai Accent and its baby blue. I love it! I'll post a pic of it later.
On Thursday I hung out with Sammie and Dallas. We went to the park and just kinda chilled and talked and there was drama with some other people but we're not gonna talk about that!

Friday was a football game at school so me, Chelsea, Brittany and Carson all went together. We lost of course but it was super fun. After the game me, Chelsea, Brittany, Sammie, Carson, Laura and Ryan came back to my house and watched the movie Superstar. It was pretty much awesome haha. I love my friends.

Saturday we had people come over for a BBQ and to watch the BYU game. The BBQ was pretty fun with most of the people who helped us move into our house and to make it even better, BYU won!!!!!

Okay well thats my awesome week for ya haha I'll see if I can remember to write next week too. ♥ Lyssa

My car!!!

Me, Chelsea and Brittany at the football game. The theme was blue in case you didnt notice already lol

Song of the day: Gravity -Sara Bareilles
If you watched this last season of So You Think You Can Dance then you know this song. It was the song for the Addiction dance peice. Not only was that an amazing dance but this is an amazing song to go with it. Definitely one of my faves :)

08.30.09

Well school started! Grrr. But things have been pretty good since then.Last Thursday my friends Austen, Craig and Jordan came down from Heber and wanted to hang out so I went and picked up Sammie and we went to the mall and hung out for like 5 hours or so haha. They wanna come down again this week on the same day but we dunno if its gonna work out yet.

This Friday there was a football game! It was our rival game and our first home game of the season. We lost haha 6-36. Towards the end my friend and I switched sides so we could be on the winning side lol plus I know people who go to the other school. After the game there was a stomp that went till like 1130 and that was pretty fun. After it was over I had to drive home in the dark and at some point thought that I was lost haha. I really should think about getting a GPS.

Yesterday was my moms birthday! We went fourwheeling in the morning for a few hours then came home and got ready to go out to dinner. We went to this restaurant called Carvers. Its pretty much a steak house. Our waiter acting kinda feminine so we were trying to figure out if he was gay or not.

Today I had to give a talk in church (blech!) I hate public speaking so it was not a fun thing for me but everyone said I did a good job and now I'm off the hook for a few years (hopefully). Sorry this blog was so lame but this is the end haha here are some pictures and the song of the day.

♥Lyssa

The group at the game. Ashley, Katrina, Laura, Andy, Sammie, Chelsea and Brittany

Song of the day: Freedom -Akon
This song was the theme for the seniors last year and I just love how it sounds. Even if you dont like Akon I'm sure that you will like this song. It is like nothing else he has done.

08.18.09

Hey! Well I figured I would do a quick blog before school starts again. We finally went to church for the first time in our new ward a few weeks ago and I can already tell that everyone is really nice. The first person to talk to me was a guy named Kyle. Hes probably one of the nicest people I have ever met.
This weekend we went furniture shopping for a couch for the front room. We mainly went to SLC and it was pretty interesting lol we found vibrating chairs and Bryan and I hung out in those the majoirity of the time. They were so cool!
Today we went to the zoo! I havent been in years so it was fun haha. I'll post a few pictures of the later since I'm currently uploading them to my computer. Stupid slow uploading program.School starts on Thursday :( My schedule is really easy though. I only have 2 classes on bdays during first semester and then during second I dont have a bday at all! Man life is good haha jk but still.
Okay so the weirdest thing happened to me yesterday. I was watching Enews on tv and they were talking about a band called Vfactory. I saw them live on New Years Eve cuz David was opening for them. On Enews they showed some of their concert that I went to and my hand was on tv! I was wearing a yellow watch that day so it totally stood out! It was weird lol.
Well now I'm rambling so I'm going to put pics on now and show you the song of the day. Ttyl!
♥Lyssa

Inside the lion drinking fountain at the zoo lol

Song of the day: Save the day -David Archuleta
This song has such a wonderful message. This song was only released in Japan. I listend to this the whole ride on choir tour and its just amazing. I hope you like it!

08.08.09

We did it! We have officially moved! I love our house! As soon as we get all of our stuff up I'll take some pics and put them up so you all can see them. Last friday we moved and it was super stressful! My dad rolled his ankle so he couldnt do much and I had to pick up some of his slack. After we were all done I wanted to fall over and die lol. We finished getting all of our stuff to our new house at like midnight. We were super tired so we started looking for our sheets and pillows and stuff and we couldnt find them. So that night I slept on my matress with a blanket and a really flat pillow and I didnt get to bed till like 2am. Not the best sleep of my life. Lately we have just been trying to get everything up. Our neighbors are really nice too. Yesterday my friend Hannah came over and we hung out and then all the neighbor kids came over with my brother and started attacking us on the tramp. I love our new neighborhood!!

Today I went to funeral for a guy from my old ward. He had blood clots in his stomach and they ultimately killed him. It was so sad. He was one of my friends dad. The funeral was really good and really sad but really funny all at the same time. Probably one of the better funerals I've been to.

Tomorrow is Scotty's mission farewell. Its so weird the hes going on a mission now! I still remember him, Curtis and Jordan chasing Jenny and I around the Crandalls old house. Wow time goes by so fast. He's going to be a great missionary and will be missed at our get togethers. And now I leave you with the song for the day!

♥Lyssa

Song of the day: Why Georgia -John Mayer

John Mayer is an amaizng artist and pretty much everything he does rocks. I cant even think of anything bad about his music so check it out!

07.28.09

Well since things are starting to get really busy I dont think I'll have a whole lot of time to update everyone after its all over so I guess I'll update you with the important stuff and then after we move I'll write about all that randomness.

This last week I finally finished driving school and got my licsence! I passed the test almost perfectly. I had problems with parallel parking lol but other than that the testing guy told me I was perfect. Yay! The guy I had teach me at the school was a jerk and kept telling me I was doing everything wrong so I was conviced I was going to fail. Now I just need to find myself a car.

I dont remember if I wrote about how we took Bryan fishing or not. Well if I didnt, now you know. All these pics are from that though.

Well thats all I've got for ya for now. Love you all! ttyl!

♥Lyssa

Song for the day: Will You Be There -Michael Jackson

This song is one of my favorite songs. I'm actually going to try to convice my choir teacher to let us sing it this next year. If you havent listened to it...you have not lived haha jk but still its amazing.

Hey yall! Holy crap did I just say yall? Wow just wow. Aaaanyways. Life has been stressful lately. We've been packing for our big move and its the biggest pain EVER. I have boxes sitting in my room all over the place. Its ridiculous.
This week I started actually driving at the stupid driving school. The instructor is mean! I really dont like him. He tells you everything you do wrong and everything has to be perfect. Yesterday I was going 1mph over the speed limit and he got mad. 1mph!!! Ugh hes annoying but he's fun to be a brat to. I'm not normally a brat to people cuz obviously its rude but I'll make an exception for this guy.
Yesterday I saw Harry Potter!!! Its amazing! I loved it so much! But we were really close to the screen cuz the theater was packed so I need to go see it again when I'm not so darn close to the screen. Why do they even put seats that close in the first place? I guess they didnt really think that one through.
Well since I dont really have any pictures to post of any of this stuff I'll just post one of a picture I edited recently. I didnt take the picture but I loved it and had to edit it haha. So here it is! Oh and each time I write I'm gonna do a song of the day. David Archuleta does it when he writes and its helped me discover so much new music so yeah.
Song of the day: All Fall Down -OneRepublic. If you know them you probably know them as the band who sings Apologize but they are so much better than that. I've seen them in concert before and this is one of my favorite songs by them. Check it out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkZ4kGOg0nA and now I leave you with a picture of my editing. Luv ya!
♥Lyssa

7.10.09

I know I said it in the last post and I'll say it again. I fail at this!! Okay so now I have to try and remember anything noteworthy that happened.

Before I talk about whats happened to me I just wanna talk about Michael Jackson for a minute. When I found out that he died I was super sad. He was an amazing musician and performer and he will be missed. His memorial this passed Tuesday was wonderful. I was totally fine till his daughter spoke and then I lost it. I feel so bad for his family and his children. Please keep his family in your prayers especially the children. R.I.P. MJ

Okay now thats over here we go for the real stuff.
On the 3rd of July we went to a baseball game! And our team lost...horribly. But we had treats there and after the game they had fireworks!
The 4th we had a meeting with the people we are getting our new house from. They are so awesome and the house is even more amazing then I remembered. I cant wait to live there!
Then we came home and my dad made ice cream! Mmm his homemade ice cream is the best. Later we had a BBQ and did fireworks with some people in the neighborhood.
This Monday we had a family party with the Crandalls and the Twitchells for birthdays. It was just like normal haha nothing noteworthy really happened but it was fun.
Yesterday I finally started A1 driving school lol. Its taken me forever to get in gear and get it done but I finally started yesterday. I just observed and it was really boring. But the guy driving was really cute haha so that made things a little bit more fun. Well here are some pictures! I hope everyone is doing well!
♥ Lyssa

Holy crap I fail at keeping this updated! So not a whole lot has happened. A couple weeks ago I went to Color Me Mine with my mom and my brother. For those of you who dont know, Color Me Mine is a place where you pick something out and and you sit down and paint it and a few days later they get it back to you. It sounds really lame but its super fun I LOVE it haha and I'm not even artsy!
Last week I babysat for the lady across the street. She has 4 kids. Ages ranging from 1-7. They are super cute and I love them to death. We took pictures so I'll post those so you can see 2 out of the 4 kids.
Sunday was fathers day! Yay! We didnt really do much that day we just gave my dad presents and went to church and all that jazz.
Yesterday I went and hung out with Sammie, Austen and his friend Craig. We had fun lol. I havent seeen Austen in forever so it was really weird seeing him again. Hes a cool dude and his friend is aweseome too. After they had to leave Sammie and I went to my house and just chilled on the tramp and looked at the stars and talked. Then Hannah came over and we talked to her and stuff. It was pretty fun.
Today my mom wants to go shopping! Yay! Well I'm gonna go. Peace!
♥ Lyssa

The little girl is Mallory and the boy is Brady haha they are adorable

06.03.09

Yeah I know I wrote not too long ago but I need to keep this thing updated haha. So yesterday was my brithday and my mom wanted to take me to Build A Bear! I've never been so it was really cool. This is my bear.

After you make the bear you go to this random computer and get a birth certificate for it. Her name is Isabelle. Bryan made something too. He made a dog named Harley because he is wearing a Harley Davidson jacket. Here is a pic of Bryan and me with the things we made! Yes my hair looks stupid in all of these haha.

After Build A Bear we went and had lunch at the foor court in the mall and my mom bought me a jacket (which is in the next picture). Then we ran a few errands and it was cool I guess. My brother has never seen the Provo Temple to we drove by that and it was pretty cool. After our errands we went home for a little bit then my dad came home and we went to dinner at La Doche Vita. Here is a picture!

After dinner we went home and my parents had to go to a meeting regarding our new house and they were gone for a LOOONG time haha. But when they finally came home we had cake and I ended up putting 17 candles on the cake. I'm 17! WHOO!! Sorry I dont have a picture of my cake I didnt get one of those haha ooooops. Well I hope all is well with everyone and you are having an amazing summer (or will have an amazing summer). I'll keep ya posted!

05.31.09

Hey! So school is over and I thought I would write a quick blog.
Over the passed couple of weeks not a whole lot has happened. I took finals (which sucked) went to water aerobics, recorded a CD, performed at graduation and got my yearbook. School got over last week which means I'm a senior now!! Yeah its weird I know. Tuesday is my birthday and I dont have any plans for that but I really dont care haha I just wanna sleep. School this year totally killed me and I'm so dead.
A couple days ago my mom wanted to make a frozen pizza for dinner and guess what? She burned it. I didnt think that was possible with a frozen pizza hahahaha. I recently discovered a band called Owl City. They are first on my playlist here so you should check them out. I love them! They are coming to Utah with Relient K soon but tickets are sold out so unfortunatly I cant go. I'll just go when they come back again some other time. Well this has been lame but I will leave you with a semi-interesting picture.
♥ Lyssa

Oh! And notice my bag in the picture haha. If you cant see it, its a David Archuleta bag from his concert.

5~15~09

Soooo I havent written in what feels like forever! So lets just do a real quick recap since I have nothing else to do and stuff happened that I'll probably forget later.
April 30th we went and saw Wicked! It was super duper amazing! Before the show we went to this fancyish restaurant and had steak. Haha yeah it was freakin good. The show was super amazing and I dont even know how to express how much I loved it. We were like 10 or so rows back and we were in the dead center.
On May 6th Bryan had a theater performance. Grandma went with us. He was good but he looked really bored throughout most of it lol but its all good. I have some friends that were in it too so it was really fun to watch them. One of my friends sang and I had no idea she could sing! She never told me or sang around me! Ahh! lol sorry had a freak out moment.
Last Saturday was State Choir festival. We had to perform at 815am! I pretty much wanted to die. I hate waking up early and we had to be at my school at like 715 so I had to get up at like 6. We sang and got pictures taken (which I still need to pay for haha oops) then we left. But the funny thing was that we had 2 buses and they thought they were supposed to come get us at 530pm so 1 of the buses came which left half our choir stranded haha it was funny but sad. We got straight 1+ which is the best you can do at a state competition. Oh and we got a wow hahaha yeah we had fun with that.
Last night was my last choir concert for the year =( I'm sad about it cuz all the Sr.'s in that class are graduating and we are all so close. That choir is like a family and losing half of them just sucks. Next year is gonna rock though. We sang 4 songs last night and we did pretty good for not being memorized on our words haha. A choir at our school called Show and Chamber sang And So It Goes by Billy Joel and I had a freakout moment when I heard that because David sang it on AI last year haha yeah sorry about my obsession. I need to get it under control but its too darn hard!
Today was just school. In choir I found out that there was a fish in our hall pass (our hall pass is a mug). So now we have a class pet. Its a goldfish and our teacher named it but I dont remember what she named it haha. For Aerobics today we went to another school in our district and played badminton on their tennis courts. My best friend and I took second! We werent even that good haha so it was funny that we made it that far.
And now I leave you with a picture of me and Bryan (whose birthday is tomorrow btw. He's turning 12!!!!)

♥Lyssa

04.28.09

Its an actual blog! The last one was super short cuz I was typing it on my phone and my phone wont let me type a whole lot. Its stupid. Aaaaanyways.

I got back from Cali a few weeks ago. It was a blast! I really enjoyed seeing everyone in Cali and goin to Disneyland. The weirdest thing happened while we were there though. We were walking out of the hotel and someone said "Hey Alyssa!" to me and he was wearing sunglasses so I had no idea who it was! I felt SO stupid like you have no idea. I probably know him from school or something but I felt so bad! My dad thought I was wearing my name on my shirt or something hahaha. But it was really weird and I felt stupid and super bad haha.

Last week I had a choir audition x.x I HATE auditions. I get so nervous and I dont do too well. I already have a spot guranteed in A Cappella for next year but I wanted to be in Chamber. Unforunately I didnt make it but ya know what? I would rather not have tons of classes anyways haha.

Saturday I hung out with Chelsea, Austen, his friend Craig. We went to the mall then they had to go so me and Chels went and got GIANT ice creams lol. We went pretty much everywhere doing stupid stuff. There was some drama too but I'm not gonna talk about that cuz I HATE drama. Almost as much as I hate auditioning for stuff haha.

Thursday I get to see Wicked! I was stupid and went and got a new outfit haha. Its a cute black and white dress. I'll post pics later of me in the dress cuz its just so cute haha. Well gotta run! Ttyl! Be safe!

♥Lyssa

Hey everyone! We just picked up my grandma from the airport and now we're driving home. I'll write an actual blog sometime real soon. I haven't abandoned you <3

Spring Break starts tomorrow after school!!! I'm leaving tomorrow and heading down to St. George and then continuing to Cali on Saturday. So everyone in Cali, SEE YA IN A FEW DAYS! I've missed everyone so much so I'm super excited to come see everyone.

Since the last time I wrote I've been to the David Archuleta concert! He was incredible as usual and after the show my mom and some of my friends that I met up with at the concert went to the back of the venue and we got to meet him! But the security people were stupid and wouldnt let us hug him, take pictures, or get more than one thing signed. So he signed my phone and we talked for a few seconds (cuz security was stupid, gosh I wanted to kill them!). It was SO cold outside! But totally worth it.

Friday there was a school dance so I went and chilled with my friends. I would have taken pictures but its hard to take pictures in the dark haha cuz then everyone around you gets mad about how bright your flash is lol.

Saturday I had to take the ACT x.x Omg it was the hardest test I have ever taken! I swear that thing was NOT written in English! I dont even know what to call it! It just sucked haha the end. I hope I did okay on it cuz I never want to wake up that early to take a stupid hard test ever again!

Tomorrow is the spirit bowl!! I'm super excited. Its a battle between Sr's, Jr's, Sophmores and Faculty. My class won last year and we are going to take it again bahahaha! The school gets really competitive around this time lol its funny. I'll try to take some pics and show you guys.

Well I'm gonna go. I'll see some of you guys in a few days!!!

Luvs!

Heeeeeeeeeyyyy!!!
So I've been back from tour for awhile now and I havent written anything since I got back! I'm such a bad writer in this thing =(
So last Wednesday was my choir concert. We did...okay compared to how we've done in the past but we have a festival next Thursday to redeem ourselves.
This week was the last week of the term and I had a a test EVERY single day! I wanted to shoot myself! I'm so done with school but I have a whole other year left of it then college! Ahh!!!!
So threres this radio station that I listen to called 107.9 the mix and they are giving away 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th row tickets to David Archuleta, all you have to do is decorate something all David and have the logo of the radio station in it somewhere! Easy right? Yeah! So I totally did that today. I decorated my wall with a bunch of pics of him that I printed off from the internet. In order to win I have to have the highest score on my picture. The website hasnt posted it yet but I've submited it. I'll post a pic of it at the end. So if you have some free time go to http://www.mix1079online.com/ click on the win front row tix to David Archuleta thing, view photo's and look for mine and give it a 10. Please and thank you!
I will now show you what it looks like.

My parents wouldnt let me leave it up lol so I had to take it down =(

Well gotta run! Thanks for reading! Please go vote before next Thursday (26) or Friday (27) I'm not sure when the contest ends because it doesnt say it anywhere but the concert is Friday so I'm guessing it ends somewhere around there.

I'm back from choir tour! Oh man I had so much fun!
On Tuesday night we left and drove all night to get there by Wednesday. On Wednesday we went to Disneyland!
Thursday we went to Huntington beach, a workshop and on a dinner cruise. The beach was gorgeous and the view from the top of the boat was amazing! The workshop was so much fun. The guy that was helping us was so awesome. I learned a lot from him.
Friday we went to a workshop, Hollywood, Santa Monica and a magic show. The first workshop for me was a lot more fun but this one was still really cool too. The workshop was held in a presbiterian (cant spell that) church. Hollywood was so much fun! We didnt have a lot of time to do stuff there but I still had a blast looking for stars on the sidewalk. Santa Monica was so gorgeous. We went to the pier and to the beach and the sunset was breathtaking. My camera died in the middle of it though which made me kinda mad but it was beautiful. The magic show was awesome. The magician was really funny and was really good at all of his tricks.
Saturday we went to Disneyland again! We chilled at Disneyland all day and we performed there. We totally nailed all of our songs. Around 1130 we got back on the bus and went home. I just got back this morning! Haha I'm so sleep deprived. While I was gone a show for David Archuletas tour was added for Utah and my dad bought be tickets to it! They arent floor seats so I hope I will still be able to see him but I'm excited.
My choir concert is next week and sometime later this month we have a choir festival! I'm super excited!
I'll keep ya posted!

Wow its been....i dont even know how long! I dont even know where to start!
This past week has been...interesting. Its been snowing a ton lately and I cant even begin to tell you how much I want it to just go away and die. I HATE snow. Last Friday me and my friend Chelsea went to this gigantic party then decided it was lame and went to Walmart. We had a Walmart adventure! I'll pics up too of our fabulousness. Then we decided we were hungry and drove in the rain all the way to maceys (yes its a grocerey store) but we didnt find anything we wanted to we went to Wendys instead and ate ice cream and fries. Yep thats just how awesome we are. This Friday after school I went to the mall with Chelsea and we ran into Austen there! His school was in some wresting tournament thing at UVU that day so he didnt have to go to school! So we chilled for a little while then Chelsea had to get home so we left. Then some stuff happened and Chelsea was all sad and stuff so I took her out for ice cream at Cold Stone and we saw the guy she likes there and that was funny. She basically freaked out.
Yesterday was Valentines Day (blech!) I hate that holiday so much. It just seems rather pointless to me lol. But omg next week I'm coming to Cali for Choir Tour! We leave Tuesday night (21st) and Wednesday we are going to Disneyland! Thursday we are doing some workshops, sight seeing and a dinner/dance cruise, Friday we do some more work shops and sight seeing and Saturday we go back to Disneyland and we are performing there!! Then we come home Sunday lol. I'm I'm SOOOOO excited!
And now you will see pictures of my adventure at Walmart lol. I hope you are all doing well! Ttyl!

Oh my goodness it’s been so long! Like 2 weeks! So much has happened to me and it involves David Archuleta lol so if you don’t like him or want to hear about him then don’t read this lol
So on Saturday my friend Austen gave me a call and asked me if I wanted to see David Archuleta live. Of course I freaked and said yes. My friend works in Park City and the place he works was having David that night for a concert. So he told me he could get me in for free! I got there and I met Queen Latifa and saw Mariah Carey and Paris Hilton lol. I had a VIP pass and a staff pass so I was going to be able to be at everything! Then some guy came out and said that everyone without a staff pass had to leave. There were only 20 people or so still in the room. Then David came out for his sound check! He ran through is songs and would randomly sing lines of other songs that would pop into his head. While he was running You Can he noticed I knew all the words and so he sang that song to me and just stared at me. Omg! I almost died. I even got to meet his whole family! They are so nice! So after he did that I went and asked him if I could have a pic with him. He said yes and he got off the stage and we got a pic. Then we got talking about music and stuff like that and some photographer came to steal him away from me. He said goodbye to me and gave me a hug. After the photographer was done with him he came back to talk to me again! He is so much fun to talk to I love his personality. Then he had to leave. So it was finally time for the concert. Some guy Alex Boye was an opening act and he made me and 2 other girls get in stage and sing! Omg so scary. Then some other guy performed. Finally David showed up! Apparently his guitarist was stuck in an elevator lol. I was in the very front and he sang to me and held my hand hahahaha! He sang A Little Too Not Over You first then You Can then Works For Me, then Crush. So after he was done we started chanting his name and he came back and played A Thousand Miles on the piano AND sang it! It was flawless!
On Monday I got my hair dyed! It’s so much darker now! I love it so freakin much! I'll post a pic as soon as I stop being lazy and actually try to take one. But for now enjoy these pics of David that I took!

Boo!! Haha idk why I just did that I guess it was to entertain myself lol

So life is pretty...strange lol. The semester just ended on Friday. Yay new classes! So on Friday my mom decided to take me shopping because we are both sick of our clothes lol. So I got a really cute coat/jacket thats blue and super warm lol then I got a pink shirt thats really cute and a purple shirt haha I love them. We didnt get to go shopping for too long so thats pretty good for the amount of time we had. Yesterday was pretty darn amazing. I was cleaning out my closet earlier this week and found a hat that belonged to my friend Austen that I havent seen for 2 years. So yesterday we hung out and I got to meet some of his super awesome friends lol. Oh and my friend Sammie came with me of course haha. After Austen had to go Sammie and I decided we would go see a movie. And we went and tried on dresses for preference lol. So we went and saw Twilight it was my 3rd time lol I love that movie so much!

So I'm gonna go now lol ttyl!

Luv ya!

Oh P.S. song of the day. Its called Crash and Burn. I found it on my computer and I'm addicted to it lol. Look it up!

HAPPY NEW YEAR AND MERRY LATE CHRISTMAS!!!
So I have kinda neglected my blog lately lol so I'm not even going to bother catching up and I'll just talk about yesterday cuz it was AMAZING!
So yesterday me and my friend Sammie went to the mall to go shopping for a dance/concert last night. We got done shopping then went home. I watched the Dark Knight and it was time to leave. The dance/concert is called NewPhoria and it was as UVU (formerly UVSC) and David Archuleta was performing!!! So we get inside and we are pretty close to the front. Then they decided to have a fashion show thing and after the fashion show I booked it up to the front of the stage and my arms were on the stage! I was front and center!
Finally David came out to perform! He sang A Little Too Not Over You first and during that song he came over to me grabbed my hand, held it and sang to me! OMG! It was so amazing he was singing to me! Then he sang Crush and I decided to put my other hand up and he came and grabbed it (probably thinking it was a different person) and he held it again and sang to me...again! Lol wow it was so cool! Then he rang in the new year with a countdown and he ran up and down the stage touching everyones hand haha.
Then V Factory came on and suprisingly they were really good! I actually liked them! Then after they were done a dancer from a dance crew grabbed my friend and me and pulled us up on stage and we got to dance with them! I cant dance but hey it was a blast. Then there was a dance and we danced for awhile then went home.
Last night was so amazing. Here are some pics of David that I took.

He look so adorable huh? Lol

Well I gotta go. I hope you enjoy the David pictures!!
