So Donny and I go way back. Way back to my college days at BYU. He lived across the street from my Bishop and so we had him give our ward a fireside. It was to be on Marriage and Dating.... you know a good old BYU topic. Well, his wife was fabulous. She is beautiful, charming and had really good things to say. Donny, on the other hand, must not have been given the topic of the evening. So he just talked about himself all night long. It was fine, I guess until he refused to sing for us. Come on now, it was a fireside. We didn't want him to bust out "Soldier of Love" or anything. Since then he just bugs me.
Well the Children's Miracle Network (the people who paid for our tickets to Disneyworld) is run by Marie Osmond. So the last night we were in Florida, we got to go to an awards banquet. It was raining outside, so my dad dropped us off at the door. We were all dressed up, including the girls. Donny and his wife were standing right where my dad dropped us off and Donny turned and said to me, "you have the cutest little girls!!" There you have it! I didn't go goey or anything, but it was nice to have a celebrity tell me my girls were cute, because we certainly think so.
The rest of the night was fabulous! We heard Miss America sing, listened to Glenn Beck, and the grand finale was no other then the Osmonds themselves. It was quite comical to have all these ladies in their 50's swooning over Donny. The best part was when his granddaughter who was sitting at a table next to us, looked up at the big screen and said, "Look Daddy, it's grandpa!"
Sorry for the rambling...

Danielle, oh the memories, this brings back. Do you remember how my Donny-obssesed aunt came and spent the night at our apt. just to go with us to the fireside? He really was pretty full of himself. I totally agree with you that after that fireside I never really liked him.
Your trip really looked fun. Your girls were at the perfect age for it to be magical.
That is a funny story! Thanks for sharing. Your girls are really cute, and I like your hair that length.
Fun-ny. Sadly I missed out on that fireside.
Donny's a grandpa. Boy, now if that doesn't sound old! Glad you finally got to hear Donny sing!
