Homecoming Part 1

The reason this one is titled Homecoming Part 1 is because the actual homecoming part has not happened yet. Just the asking and the answering(:

Today I went to Macy's with Brinlie and Kimmy to get some things that Kimmy needed for one of her clubs (science I think?) Anyways, we ran into Kyle and Kyle. Kyle Cunningham and Kyle Curdy, so Kyle C doesn't help for the story much... For the remainder of the story, whenever I refer to Kyle, I mean Kyle Cunningham(: Anyways! Hahaha(:
Well we ran into the two Kyles and we decided to walk on over to Arctic Circle and get a curtisy cone from there. Kyle and Kyle ran off to one of the tables while us girls got the ice cream. But sadly, Brinlie and Kimmy had to go to a club meeting, and Kyle told me I had to stay. So I stayed, but I wasn't allowed to be over by the two Kyles yet... So I stood there awkwardly for about 5 minutes. But then Kyle called me over, and he had written on the table (in starbursts!) "Homecoming?" (except he forgot the "m" at the end. So really it was "Homecoing?" haha(: ) And then he stood there and just stared at me while I laughed at his missing m. But then he looks at me and asked "So will you?" And of course I responded with a "Yes" and then the people that were standing/sitting behind us started clapping and cheering. And you know how teenagers are, when one group starts cheering and clapping, so does everyone else. So all of Arctic Circle was clapping for Kyle and I. Which was so embarrassing, and I went SO red. But it was fun, and I was laughing a lot. And I'm so excited to go to homecoming with Kyle (Cunningham, just to clarify(; ) because Kyle is one of those kids that can just make your day happy. He makes me laugh so much, and just is a super cool guy!! And it doesn't hurt that he is on the school's football team(; But this is my first dance that I've been asked to, and I'm thrilled!! Homecoming isn't until next Saturday (the 15th) but I'm excited!! Ahh!(:

Also, on a side note, the websites foodgawker.com and craftgawker.com have become on my top 4 most addicting websites. They are fantastic, in case you were wondering(:
Okay, till next time(:

SUGARLAND!!!

Yes. I went to a Sugarland concert on Sept. 1st. Everybody jealous? I knew it ;)
It really was AMAZING however!!! And a lot of memories were made.
It was my very first concert I have ever been to, and I am a huge fan of Sugarland, so I was wayy excited!! For those of you who don't know, Sugarland is a country duo, and they are fantastic, just sayin'. I went with my really good friend Alayna(:
Well... We got lost on our way. Dumb google maps told us to go one way, when we were supposed to go the opposite direction. We figured that out when we stopped by into Smiths to ask for directions. We got there around 5:45, 15 minutes before the doors opened, and 1 hour and 15 minutes before the concert was to start. We made it in (and guess what?! The tickets were two for one, so I got two tickets for only $41!!!) We walked to merch, and bought a wonderful shirt that I will post a picture of when I finish fixing it(: It was about 6:45-7:00, and it started POURING. Hard. I had a jacket and a blanket, and both of them were on me. And my skin was wet. It was BAD. And so they postponed to start of the concert by 45-60 minutes. Which was agony, waiting. But finally they started!!! But it was still raining :( The first opening act was a guy by the name of Canaan Smith, who I had never heard of, but he was good! And the second act was Lauren Alaina, who came in second place in American Idol last year, and I love her. So that was exciting. Then 30 minutes after that, Sugarland FINALLY  came out. And Jennifer (the main singer of Sugarland) was pregnant, which was exciting! (And funny to watch. Cuz she moves a lot when she sings, but she couldn't move as much cuz of her baby.) Someone actually made her a blanket for her baby! It was cute(: Sugarland played all of my favorite songs. Their tour this year was called "In Your Hands" because this concert was made by us, the fans. We chose the songs they played, and we were interactive. It was a blast(: But it rained periodically throughout the whole night. Which sucked. But was still TOTALLY worth it!!! I got home about 12:30, which was actually earlier than I thought it would be! I half way lost my voice. It isn't gone, but once I go past a certain loudness, my throat and whole head just hurts. Which is fun! Woohoo! Hahaha(: It was one of the funnest and greatest things of my whole entire life.
Carrie Underwood comes to SLC on October 12, and I really want to go, cuz it's her and Hunter Hayes (who is such a good singer, and WAYYY cute). I would love to go see her(: But I will have to see how much tickets cost. Maybe I could even win them off the radio like I tried to do with Sugarland(:
And when Miranda Lambert comes to SLC, I HAVE to go to her concert. Cuz she is my all-time favorite!!
What can I say? I'm a country girl!(:
