I promise I'm 31...

So, I totally went and saw David Archuleta at the Burns Arena last night. My sister MinDee, sis-in-law Kenz, niece Hailey, and two best friends Corinne and Nicole all accompanied me. We had such a great night. We started out our evening listening to Archie's CD on our way to dinner. After awesome burgers and lemonades at Red Robin (yummmm) we hit up Kohl's for a few minutes and then went on to find a parking place for the concert.

After the worlds longest lines, I finally found a door that no one was at. I aproached it thinking someone would turn us away, but sure enough they just took our tickets and let us on in. We sat on the front row right off the floor. They were such awesome seats.

Best things about the concert:

• Hailey's perma-grin
• Thousands of screaming "tweens"
• Making fun of the 2 guys sporting David Archuleta shirts and dancing to every song
• David singing a song in spanish and a latino family next to us yelling "Hola" continuously
• Archie singing a medley of "oldies but goodies- some from the 90's and some newer" (as he quoted) consisting of: 'One' by U2, 'You Gotta Be' by Desiree, 'Love Song' by Sara Barellis, and concluded with 'I'm Yours' by Jason Mraz. Talk about feeling old, U2's 'One', really? Am I seriously that old that those songs are just not "oldies" to me?
• The girl to the left of us that was doing a lyrical dance to 'Angels', the last song he sang (seriously, laughing SO hard)
• Using my niece as my excuse for going to the concert (even though I would totally have gone if she wasn't there. Yeah, I'm that lame. ;) But being with her made it ten million times better).
• Enjoying a fun evening out with my family & friends. Loved it!!!

Murder Mystery Dinner - aka, Corinne's Birthday

What a freakin' blast we had in February for Corinne's 30th Birthday. We had a Murder Mystery Dinner at her house and treated everyone to a night of great food, fun memories, and lots of laughs. The whole thing was centered around a renowned chef named Foxgang Luck (Wolfgang Puck). His friend Uma Vermon (me- a Hollywood starlet- note the big glasses) flew all of her friends out to Paris for a soiree in Foxgang's behalf. The invited were: Whitney Shears (a drunken pop star), Rambo Cruise (an American Action Hero/Movie Star), William Chinton (an ex-US President), Angeli Silencio (a mime), D. Piddy (a rap star), Double 'O' (a secret service agent), Jayna Clark (Foxgang's TV Producer), and Marcy Dark (a Lawyer).

We had a french cuisine of Chicken Cordon Bleu, roasted vegestables, salad, sparkling cider and cheese/bread/fruit. It was fantastic. Everyone got so into their characters and were dressed to the nines. They stayed in character the whole night, and some even sported some very authentic accents. :)

What a blessing it is to have great friends who are so willing to have fun all the time. :) I can't wait to do the next one. We're looking at a cowboy theme, or an old '40's War time theme. Either one will definitely be fun. You can purchase the games online, so if you ever have questions about it just let me know, I'm always willing to help you have a fun night for yourself as well.
