What's on my Happy List?

David Archuleta premiering his debut single “Crush” on New York's Z100 this morning to millions of listeners in the U.S. and around the world....



I’ve listened to Crush on the Z100 link so many times today I’ve lost count. Earlier today I had to pull myself away from the computer (LOL) to go pick up Kyleigh from a sleepover at a friend’s house. I decided to take my CD out and listen only to the radio just in case they happened to play David’s song. I switched stations and I had not been in the car more than 5 minutes when the B 98.7 DJ said we have David Archuleta’s new single. (It was noon, Utah time.) ***fangirly screams while driving my car*** OH MY GOSH! I was so excited! What luck to be in the car at that moment! He said even though the single would not be officially released to play on the radio until August 12th, he had a copy of it anyway. I couldn’t believe it, I was actually listening to David Archuleta on the radio!!!! **THUD** It gave me chills I tell ya. After the song the DJ said, “I totally pirated that!” LOL What a momentous day this has been for David and all of his fans.


Here is David listening to his song on the radio for the first time....it was priceless being able to watch this.
This has to be one of my most favorite David moments ever!


Some of my Archie friends and I went to MeKong Thai Cuisine last night to celebrate David's single coming out today. Pad Thai is David's favorite so of course that's what I ordered. LOL
It was yummy! We had a blast reminiscing about Idol.




I think I need to celebrate today's events by drinking one of these! LOL
