Who would have known?

     After getting water at the Halloween dance and standing just chatting away, I feel a hard grasp on my arm and that can only mean one thing... A tall handsome man walked in the room and Amanda has caught a glimpse. After a while he comes up to us and asks us to take a picture for him, gladly we do and then after I am done taking the picture, we start talking for a little while. He said that he has grown up in Danville, where I currently am living, and is going to Stanford. We talk a little more and then politely say goodbye, and see ya later.
      While I am still standing in that room, I overheard someone saying "Did you know that Mark Madsen is here tonight?" Oh My Gosh. I was just talking to Mark Madsen and I didn't even know it! I have grown up knowing of Mark Madsen, he was in my uncle's ward and in his Boy Scout troop, and went on scouting activities with my uncle and my brothers. Like 8 years ago I went to his parents house and had a stake activity where we swam in his pool went through their corn maze and stood in line to shake his hand and get a signed autograph picture of him, which is still currently in my bedroom at home.
     After I hadoverheard that I went to go tell my friends who had no clue of him.I told them that he is a pro basketball player and has played for the LA Lakers and the Minnesota Timberwolves. Like they believed me. So i pulled out my phone googled him and proved them wrong!  Then they were on a mission to go up and take a picture with him and talk to him. Then the adventure began.  In the end this is what happened...

Rascal Flatts and Sara Evans

Here are some pictures form the Rascal Flatts concert that I went to last night with my aunt, uncle and cousin. It was supposed to be on the 8th of October but then got moved to last night because the band was sick. I don't know why but our seats got upgraded also! We originally had lawn tickets, but then got asked at will call if we would like a free upgrade! Heck yes we would!

So excited to see Rasal Flatts!

Sara Evans was the opening singer, what a total surprise!

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Good:

• They asked me to stay at work longer which means I get to make more money!
• They asked me to do at least 30 min. of overtime a day at $22 an hour!
• The camera that I just bought! Canon S95!
  
• I am getting a bike, fully equip with everything I will need for it up at school, free of cost to me! Thanks Dad!
  
• I get lots of free stuff, for example...

This is one of the first give aways they had at work. These are samples that they give out to their clients, but it ends up that they always have way too much, so we get it! And I think everyone knows I love FREE!


This was the second give away day! 10 packages of chocolate chips and chocolate (in the freezer by the way being saved for college), do you think I could be any happier? Well just see...


This is what I all Mega-Give-away day! I think this included: 9 packages of SlimFast snack bars, 7 Full bars, 9 packages of candy including Tootsie Rolls, Tootsie Pops, Dots, Frooties, and some other odds and end candies, 8 car air fresheners, 1 box of matches, 1 bag individual flossers, 1 package AA batteries, 4 cocoa butter Vaselines, 7 Dove hair products, 3 Suave hair products, 1 package cough drops, 1 baby Oragel plaque revealing gel, 1 Axe deodorant,12 girl Clinical Protection deodorants, and 1 Styrofoam cooler!


Bad:

• I miss being home.
• My car smokes at every stop sign or stoplight when I get off of the freeway.
• My gas bill, $103 for the last 2 weeks!
• Overtime is really getting to me, 10 hour days make me really tired when I get home.
  

Ugly:

• The deer that is probably lying down next to the road with a broken leg or a really sore side, that I nudged last night at 1am getting off of the freeway. I saw it on the side of the road and said, "What the heck is that?" Then realized that it was a deer, standing next to the freeway. And right as I was passing it, going about 30 miles an hour, it decides to run right in front of me! can you believe it? It was standing right next to the freeway all calm until I decide to pass, then it was like it thought, "Oh i wonder what will happen, if i jump out in front of this car as it passes by?" Well I will tell you what will happen little deer! You will get hit! It wasn't that hard because I slowed down really fast as I saw it come out, but it just got a little tap from me. Sorry Bambi :(
