PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN....... THANK YOU TO OUR TROOPS

A big thank you to our troops, the men and the women, that have and are continuing to fight for our many freedoms. Today is a special day to remember those who have sacrificed their lives to save ours.....they should be thought of daily..... all that we do and all that we say are products of the blood that has been shed to give us those rights. I am honored to be called an American and live in this amazing country. Thank you is not enough but I do want to express my appreciation for those who don't even know me but are fighting for me..... and my family...... You are truly heros!

IRON MAN = HOT MAN......

Today being Memorial Day we as a family went to Chick fil A for lunch and then off to the popular Memorial Day hang out.... the movies! WE saw Iron Man and I have to tell you... it was just awesome! Loud and crazy super hero movies are fascinating to me! And Robert Downey Jr. has NOT lost his hottness factor! He is a, I mean the movie is a must see! :)

I'll take a #5 8 pack with half coke half diet coke......

Oh what a glorious recovery. After my complete devastation of losing the title of 2008 American Idol, well I didn't lose it personally but I felt like I did when David Archuleta's name was not announced...... I was able to recover quicker than you can say "Eat More Chicken" thanks to the new Chick fil A that has opened just about 139 seconds away from me. It is the only chick fil a within 10 miles and is now my focus to help me get over the AI disappointment. Thank you Chick Fil A! I vow to visit often!

What the freak????

Ok.... so all of you can understand my utter disappointment that little David was not named 2008 American Idol. I have come to realize that there was I believe heavenly hands in this.... ok, so it sounds silly but come on..... he's too "good" for hollywood.... I do know that we will be seeing an Archie CD in stores soon.... but look at it this way..... he's not owned by FOX and he has more freedom to become more successful and sing what HE wants to sing..... so David, you will always be our American Idol.... with benefits!!! We all know WHO the more talented one was last night and it's not the crowned "winner"!!!

DAVID VS. DAVID

The dueling David's will find out tonight who is the next American Idol..... This is a tough one when you really stop and think about it..... I REALLY love little David Archuleta and want him to take the title I just do not want Hollywood to "TAKE" him. He is my choice for the next American Idol.....

David C....... I like him too..... he can be a little cocky at times but I really think he is talented in his own way..... I think with his ruggedness and experience he might could handle the HOLLYWOOD pressures.....

So is it "good" vs. "evil"???? My hubby seems to think so.....

Hmmmmmm..... we will find out tonight on...... AMERICAN IDOL (that's my Seacrest impersonation)

What happens in Vegas.....

We just returned from our ACM trip to Vegas and we had tons of fun. We drove so we could see the beautiful country side. The days went fast and found ourselves not wanting to return..... this was the most relaxing trip we have taken..... and we were even in Vegas, the city that stays lit all night! A dear friend of Alan's, Jack Ingram, took home best new male artist! We were sooooo excited and just happened to run into him and his wife after the show and snap some pics.

Vegas was nice..... a warm 110 but we just soaked it in......

A BIG "OH MY HECK" SHOUT OUT.......

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR LITTLE DAVID! WHOOHOO! WE ARE SOOOOOOO EXCITED! No matter what happens in the finale, David will always be our American Idol!

If you watched last nights Idol did you happen to notice the awesome radio station featured? That would be my hubby's station.... 101.5 The EAGLE..... David actually visited 2 stations but the EAGLE was THE only one featured!! You can imagine we are "flyin' high" right now!

Yesterday was an awesome one..... not only did David make us proud BUT I got to have lunch with 2 other American Idols and their "mini-me's"..... Chanda and Candice featuring AJ and Hayes....... look for their debut single in Zupa's soon!!! :) We had a great time visiting and being showered in gifts and fruit loops! I love those girls, they are tons of fun and it was so nice to have a little "girl" time! Thanks for including me you guys!!

This is........ American Idol....

May 9th has been declared DAVID ARCHULETA day in the state of Utah..... and we were there to witness it! It was such a fun experience..... I have to say.... I think I have finally figured out why we were brought to Utah..... it was for David Archuleta! HEE HEE This was our day with David!

So many exciting upcoming events......

So I just found out last night, from a very reliable source I might add, that the one and only David Archuleta is coming home to visit..... While he is here he will be dropping by 2 radio stations out of the oh let's see 50 SLC has.... one of them being the great 101.5 The EAGLE!!! FOX 13 has taken notice to the one of a kind "I VOTE FOR DAVID ARCHULETA" t-shirts that a really awesome local DJ designed and promoted! They are a really hot item here and they run out at every promotion 101.5 EAGLE does. Check out.... www.myfoxutah.com/myfox/
Tomorrow they are having a pep-rally at Murray High School for David's homecoming! You bet your diet coke WE will be there! I'll share pics so be sure to stay tuned!!!

On another cool note.... Alan and I are headed to Vegas in a couple of weeks for the AMERICAN COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS!!! I am sure I will be hanging with George, Tim, Faith, and Kenny.... so I will make sure I document my visits with snap shots..... HA HA I am sooooooooo excited..... this will be my first ACM award show!

I Feel The Need.....The Need To WEED...

With the sunny weather...FINALLY, I am feeling the need to weed my flowerbeds..... We had rain yesterday and it has been a bit more chilly than a few days ago BUT I am not going to let it get me down..... The grass is absolutely beautiful and you can actually walk barefooted without the pricking of the dead grass mixed in.... I'm keeping a smile on my face because I know SUMMER'S COMIN'!!!

OOOHHHHHHH YEAH......

The weather has been absolutely gorgeous..... and the sound of the lawn-mowers and smell of fresh cut grass has given me DA FEVAH...... Spring fever that is..... I am so in the mood for pickin' weeds and plantin' flowers. I washed the windows and set the sprinklers! We have been sleeping with the windows open..... and to be awaken by the churping of the birdies has made my days a bit more enjoyable! I have busted out my flip-flops, all 36 pair of them, my waaayyy large and obnoxious sunglasses, all 11 pair of them, and my oh so comfy sundresses and skirts with my cutsie little tee's...... can you tell that I am just oh so happy? I do miss my TEXAS TAN but my Utah one is not that bad...... I will say, this weather has got me wanting my blonde mane back...... hmmmmm maybe I should add that to my "coming soon" page!!! Stay tuned....
