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!!

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
