Yesterday Kristina and I went to see David Archuleta in concert!! He is on tour with Demi Lovato right now, but she canceled their show at Van Andel Arena so he did a small solo show at The Intersection in Grand Rapids. There were only a couple hundred people there, so it was very small and we were in the 9th row! It was FANTASTIC!!!!!!
While we were waiting in line to get in, it down poured rain!! Lucky for us, we brought an umbrella...and we shared with the girl in front of us :)
It stopped raining after about 15 minutes, and then it was about time to go in. Look at our tickets!! The show was sold out, so we got them just in time.
Me and Kristina waiting for the concert to start...we were super excited!
He finally came out on the stage and all you could hear was screaming from the crowd...it was funny!
He sang almost all the songs on his CD, plus a few others.
He was cute and very relaxed the whole time. It was so fun to watch and hear him sing!
He also played 2 songs on the keyboard, including his song "Desperate". He had only played that song a couple times but he figured he would play it for us anyway. There were a couple pauses but he kept on going...it shows that he isn't afraid to just sing and have fun with his fans.
This concert was his last small solo concert for the summer, so it was kinda bittersweet for him when it was time to end. We would have been okay if the concert never ended :) His voice is incredible!
After the concert, we waited to see if he would come out to sign autographs and take pictures. We waited for 2 hours with about 30 other people...but he never came out. When his tour bus pulled away around 11:50 pm, we knew our chances for a pic were hopeless. As we were walking away, I heard the security guards say that if there were 10 less people there, he would have come out. I blame it on his "people", haha.
It's okay David, we will still support you and come see you again in concert!!!
This is a fun video, because it shows David talking to his fans a little bit. At the very beginning he says "It's hot in here!" because it was super hot...I don't think they had the air conditioning on. Then he goes on to say how his next song is one that he "has issues with because it involves whistling" but he does it anyway. It's one of my favorite songs :) At one point, he messed up on part of the lyrics (1:36) and he kinda laughed and then got back on track. It was pretty much the best concert ever!
The stands were full at the beginning of the game! Here is the team rushing the student section

Me and dad!
At half time I went to visit some friends...this is Colleen. I miss her!
Lauren (Matt's girlfriend), Alex (Matt's roommate), dad, me, mom, Matt
CMU scoring ANOTHER touchdown!! And each time we got a first down, the crowd would yell "Move those chains!". It was a spin off from Extreme Home Makeover "Move that bus!"
We won 56-8. Notice how the stands are a lot more empty? It was windy and cold...and we were crushing EMU, so a lot of people left.
On our walk back to the car, it was so windy that Matt decided to hide behind a tree to get out of the wind. It was a rather cold and windy day, but there was no rain and CMU won!!!
Mike spilled his drink so our waitress brought him a kids cup...it was hilarious!
The boys decided to pile on top of a bulldog statue next to Dairy Queen
