American Idol Sweeps Utah

This summer there are a few things that may excite teens in Utah. The warm weather and the idea of going to the lake is only of the things that teens are looking forward to. According to a few teens here in Utah County, the name of David Archuleta is a sure fire way to make a girl scream for joy.
“I just think that I could honestly marry David Archuleta." Maxcene Jensen an 18 year old college student said. "
“He is just the dreamiest person that I have ever seen in my life." Jensesn said.
However not everyone has that same view point of David Archuleta being “The most dreamy person."
“I just think he is a lizard boy. The way he licks his lips is the very disturbing to me. What does he think that he is trying to do? It is just gross to me." Sally Lewis a 26 year old UVSC student said.
American Idol always seems to bring up the many different opinions of college student. This year in particular many Utah citizens have a special interest in the show this year due to the face that Archuleta is from Murray, Utah.
A few local people feel that this is a very big advantage for young Archuleta , who is the youngest contestant in the running to become this year's American Idol.
“I just really feel like this will be a very big advantage to him, because now everyone in his high school can vote for him. I also feel like that he will appeal to the younger audience. That is who really watches American Idol are all the teenagers." Amber Sampson a 25 year old Lehi resident said.
Will this be enough to make David Archuleta join the famous list of American Idol Winners? Most of young girls in Utah would say yes, will the rest of the nation vote for him. Win or lose it will be a fun summer of American Idol mania.

Last Post for School

Well this is the last time that I have to make a post for school. There have been a few changes in my life, since my last post. Of course you all know that beautiful wife Amanda is pregnant. She is due on October 4 2008. We have a couple of names that we like but are not 100% set on them as of yet. We still do not know the gender of the child. I have no idea what I want it to be. Amanda and I are primary teachers for our ward. We teach the 4 year old's. We have three of the sweetest and cutest little girls. So after every Sunday I want a sweet little girl just like that. Although I can not think of anything better than taking my son to his first BYU football game, it almost brings a tear to my eye when I think about it, not really but you get the idea. To be honest we just want a healthy happy baby. Now that we are going to have a child it makes us think back to what we were like as toddlers. After speaking to both of our parents we have realized one thing; WE ARE IN FOR IT. Apparently, Amanda and I were both very active babies. I pray that we get an active baby. I just think they are so fun to be around. I have four nephews on my side of the family all of whom are very active. I love to be around them and play with them. It is one of my favorite things to do. It makes me so excited to have one of my own. Amanda for sure wants a little girl. She wants to dress it up and put bows, bracelets and all that girly stuff on her little girl. I agree that there is nothing cuter in this world than a sweet and cute little girl. But then again those sweet little girls grow up to be teenagers, and then they are not so sweet. I will probably one of those dad's that will interview my daughters dates. Anyway on to SPORTS.

The Final Four is coming up and to my surprise all the #1 seeds are still in the tournament. To make a bold prediction, I think that Memphis and UNC will play for the title. Memphis is a very good team. They blew out Texas, and did not really have a close with the exception of Mississippi State, which ended up not being that close. I pick UNC to win it all. I would love to see a Tyler Hansbrough, Kevin Love match up in the title game as well.

Another and most importantly LDS General Conference is this weekend as well. The LDS Church will also call another Apostle. My bold prediction is that it is going to be Elder Earl C. Tingey of the Presidency of the 70. What a good weekend this will be.
