Star struck...


OK, so I was totally star struck on Sunday when I showed up at Tyler's cousin's mission homecoming and Donnie Osmond was there! Why was Donnie Osmond there? He is in the cousins home ward here in good ole' Provo, Utah.
We got there a few minutes early, and walked to the front to greet family and sit. I sat down on the bench, looked up, and there he was walking down from the stage. At first I thought it was someone who looked a lot like him -- then I quickly realized it was HIM! I said it in my head, "is that Donnie Osmond?" Then I turn to Tyler, and blurt out, "oh my gosh, it's Donnie Osmond!" Mind you, he is right in front of me now, and I am sitting on the second row! He totally heard me, but just kept walking, continuing on his humble way! I felt like such an idiot!! He grabbed his seat right next to us, and put his arm around his son. I tried my hardest not to stare at him and his family all through sacrament, but I found myself staring many times! :) We never actually spoke, but I definitely made a great first impression on him!! :)

that's hilarious. i happen to do the same thing whenever i see a celebrity...the "oh-my-heck-it's-(insert name here)" loud enough for them to hear blurt out. i can't help it. it just comes out.

it's pretty embarrassing.

You did much better than I would've. I so would've asked for a picture with him! Haha. I met his older brother a couple years ago when he came to our stake for a Family Expo thing. Ah, I'm so jealous!
