The Harries Happenings: March 2009

This past Tuesday, St. Patricks Day we went to a David Archuleta concert! I knew he was planning a tour so I found out when he was coming to California and had my amazing Dad get us all tickets. My Dad didn't want to go so it was the 7 of us plus Steph brought Josh and I brought my friend Allie for her 18th birthday even though it was really more for me! He only had one show here and it was in Pomona at The Glasshouse which is a little hole in the wall but I didn't care where I had to go, I was determined to see David. The concert started at 7 so we left around 3 to go down and have dinner before the concert. Not thinking every teenage girl loves him almost as much as I do, we arrived at about 6:30 and there was a line that went around corner after corner of people waiting for the doors to open. We were one of the last people in line but it was okay because once we got inside we were so close it was amazing. Lesley Roy was his opening act and none of us really knew who she was but she wasn't very good which made us that much more excited for David. When he first came out on stage I was so excited I could hardly stand it. We saw him on the Idol tour last summer but he looked ten times cuter than before and believe it or not he is better live than he is on his cd and that is pretty rare. He sang almost all of his songs, a couple new ones, and some of his favorite songs of all time. Each song was better then the last, every note was flawless and he moved so cute up on stage! I was in aww the entire time and thoroughly enjoyed every second of it. I was so sad when it was over but it was the BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE!! :] Thanks again Dad for getting me the tickets and to mom and everyone else for coming with me! One day I will be MRS. VANESSA ARCHULETA, it just sounds right!

Scott's Birthday Celebration!

The birthday celebration was awesome! On Scott's actually birthday we went to dinner, opened presents and had cake and ice cream. We gave him a new golf club and a few accessories and I made him a cake, his favorite,yellow cake with chocolate frosting. The next day we said our goodbyes to the kids and headed off to Hawaii. We had such a great time Enjoying lots of sunshine, books, naps and some incredible dinners. It was very relaxing and we really enjoyed ourselves. Thanks to my girls and Ben for making it so easy to get away, you are all awesome!
