After 8 years of waiting....

Once upon a time, there was a little girl who was 12 years old and starting to try to find herself, what music she liked, and where she fit in in all the middle school cliques. Her grandmother, who happened to be Canadian, had just found a singer that had released an album in Canada, and thought this little girl and her mom would like listening to it.

From the very first second of the very first song she heard (Feeling Good), she was in love with this style of music, with this singer, and with this song. She would listen to his CD basically every day on her iPod, dance to it, freak out when his songs came on the radio, and she would patiently (or not so patiently) wait and watch for Michael Buble albums to come out on iTunes.

This continued for almost 8 straight years.

One day, this girl who was now almost 20 saw an ad somewhere, announcing a Michael Buble concert in Salt Lake City, Utah, which was just an hour away from home, although she'd have to leave everything back in Rexburg and at BYU-Idaho (which is where she was attending), for a day or two. She begged her parents for a ticket to his concert for her birthday, stating that a ticket would be all she would want for her birthday. Heavens, if they said no to that, she'd go without presents for the next several birthdays and Christmases altogether if need be. She'd been waiting for 8 years, and with the arrival of Michael Buble's new baby boy in August and him being Canadian, she didn't know when she'd get a chance to see his concert ever again. She knew this would probably be a once in a lifetime opportunity for her, and she jumped at the chance.

Her parents agreed, and her mom even bought another ticket so she could go watch it with her daughter.

The day came, November 19, 2013, and this was the best 20th birthday present this girl, who was now technically a "woman", could ever receive.

And so, it is with great pride that I, who was this little girl (I know--hard to believe, right?), will now post this awesome experience for you all!!

PS, this last video is him singing in the basketball arena with NO MICROPHONE or any help at all. This was the end of his encore songs. It was amazing!! He has such a POWERFUL voice!!

Hope you enjoyed it! :)

Live. Love. Laugh. Grow.
