Star Struck

So guess who came to Nauvoo???? David Archuleta!!! That's right, the American Idol star from Utah came to Nauvoo last night to take pictures with me! (ok...maybe that wasn't his only reason.)

He is on tour around Missouri and he wanted to make a stop in Nauvoo to go through the temple and see the pageant. As it turns out there is a couple of artists staying at the Willard Richard's Inn with us and they told him that if he came up to the art gallery after the pageant they would give him some of their art work. (oh to be famous...) We just happened to be up at the art gallery after the pageant last night too and we had a little midnight party with David Archuleta and some of the core cast of the pageant who had followed him up.

Besides being an amazing singer, he is really nice too. He seemed a little embarassed with all the attention that he was getting but was still really willing to talk to everyone (maybe the free artwork had something to do with that. And the fact that I was there. haha j/k)I've always been a big fan of David. Although I like American Idol, I've never been an avid follower. Except for last season with David. Me and Amy became big fans and got so into it. I watched every episode even voted a couple of times. His voice is incredible!! And he's from Utah. What's not to love? Me and Amy actually even went to Salt Lake to join in on his big party during the last episode. (I still think he should have won!) We were surrounded by a bunch of 14 year old girls. Both me and Amy look young and we had a lady take our picture while we where there and she thought we went to school with David. (I don't look that young do I?) I still isten to his CD all time. What can I say? He's incredible! And I met him!!
