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!

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!!

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

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!!

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!

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!

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!
