Favorite Friday - Allison Moorer

So here she is. I keep this girl close to my heart. Like, I want people to listen to her...but she is my little secret. Allison. The voice on this girl is the best I have ever heard. I own every album. I know every lyric. Not only is she a singer she is the BEST female songwriter ever. I have been a fan since her first single and I never looked back.

Her story is extraordinary. She grew up with her sister, Shelby Lynne, in a house with an alcoholic father. When she was young her father killed her mother and himself in front of them both. She went to Nashville after her sister had made it. She had sights of being a backup singer but her voice could not be kept in the background. She has even been nominated for an Oscar.

She is amazing, down to earth, and her voice makes me want to make out with whoever is next to me.

And so Favorite Friday goes to you...Miss Allison Moorer

Maddicon '09

Things that did not happen this year

I did not dress in my Sunday best
I did not yell my love of the band Blackhawk
I did not freeze certain areas of my body
I was not convinced there was was a Japenese Internment Camp in Brigham City

Things that did happen this year

Dave finished his steak first
Jared sang "Your body is a Wonderland"
I somehow became JDP 2.0
I found out anything goes as long as your wife is still hot

Can't wait to see what happens next year!!!!

For all the ladies......

This man is single and I will give you all his info if you ask.

Tampons

Ha Ha Ha the title of this made me laugh soooo hard.

So we had ourselves a little tampon drive. We collected about 250 boxes of tampons for the Bountiful Food Pantry.

They were piled into a Red Audi TT, then a Mazda, then a gaylord.

86 hours.....Lets see if they let you take over miss.

Also, the pic on the upper right....well....best one at Ace.

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED!!!!!!

RCPM

Oh Roger Clyne...how I love thee. Anyone who knows me knows that Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers fall at number three on my list of top five bands of all time. So imagine my excitement at seeing them in a tiny club where they played for two hours...did two encores...played "Nada", "Broken Record", and "Dolly".....and where the crowd knew every lyric. It was AMAZING.

HONESTLY....look at how excited I am !!!!

Oh Roger...I just love you...and your sexy sweaty hair.

Seriously LOOK AT HIM.

*sigh*

Luckily I still got to leave with the cutest guy in the bar....And Roger TOUCHED him!!!!

Until next year RCPM...Auby and I will find you a venue, even if it is her backyard.

Britney

My Britney Concert Experience

Jennifer D. Platts

Yeah this is the prep work. I was SOOO excited. I jammed for days

Red lips, Auby and Britney...perfection

Memories of a past life

Oh LOOK there is the stage and the show is just about to start..OK let me get ready...Oh there she is...Oh YAY!!!! I am going to take a million pics!!!! Wait, WAIT....MY CAMERA BATTERY IS DEAD!!!! NOOOOOO!!!!! Not now stupid camera (not stupid..lovely).

Easter

I love Easter. I mean for the obvious reason of chocolate covered marshmallow bunnies, but you know, also because I pretty much owe my happiness and everything else to my Savior and his atonement. Yeah, I love Easter.

Easter Eggs

Ed's family does an Easter Egg hunt every year. Little plastic eggs hidden around the yard with treats. It made me wish that there were Easter Eggs hidden everywhere in life. You know, like how awesome would it be to be minding your own business one morning, open your door and BAM you find an Easter Egg filled with a Nordy gift card. Yeah....in a perfect world...we would find Easter Eggs.
