Jake left his french horn at the UVU McKay Events Center yesterday after his graduation.
He remembered in a slight panic during his celebratory barbeque.
He was afraid to tell his parents so he told his Aunt Cristina and Uncle Jonathan.
His uncle told me and we concocted a plan to try and get it back before Lee found out.
(Lee was on such a high with Jake's big day and seeing old friends I didn't want to upset him.)
Well, Cristina and Jonathan went to UVU to check things out.
It was no where to be found.
Timpview High School's graduation was going on at the time so they couldn't check the stage area so they left their name and number with security and came back to the party.
Later, after the THS graduation was over, I took Elisabeth, Jake, and Scott to UVU to look some more.
I dropped off Jake and Scott and Elisabeth and I went to the offices at the McKay Events center.
They informed me the horn was found and that they already called Jonathan and he had it.
Whew!!!
So, we went out amongst the sea of Timpview families looking for Jake and Scott.
We found them finally and headed for the car.
Scott found his friend Jose and he and Jake went ahead a little bit.
I then hear them yelling to me,
"Mommy! Mommy! Look!"
I start looking around, a little confused, and they said,
"Look! Donny Osmond!"
And there HE was!
Donny!
About 10-15 feet way!
I was stunned.
I stood there with my hand over my heart with the stupidest look on my face.
I said to Elisabeth,
"Should I go up to him? No, I look like hell! Crap! And I don't have a camera!"
So, I stood there, looking like a complete idiot I'm sure.
Elisabeth said that it would be kind of weird since I didn't have a camera.
So, I stood there, hand over heart, with a goofy smile on my face until he got into his car and drove away.
So, technically,
I saw him.
Didn't actually meet him, but I saw him.
He was shorter than I would have thought but he looked so good!
Very handsome!
I told Scott that he'll be transferring to Timpview next year so I can run into Donny again sometime.
He didn't go for that.
Dangit!

Cari, Haven't you learned by now that you always carry your camara with you even if you don't have pockets or a purse. The KEY is to have a camara slim enough to be able to tuck in your bra if nessasary. Ha Ha! I hope you get another sighting!!!!
Dreams really do come true! Next time just walk up and give him a big hug and tell him how much you've loved him since you were little. That would make up for any weirdness over the fact that you didn't have a camera...
Ha ha ha ha ha. that really made me smile.
Ok..I am laughing with tears in my eyes...Tears of sadness that your moment went by all too fast! Maybe another opportunity will arise and you will be at the top of your game-photo ready and all!
Hah! I love your Donny Osmond stories. I'm glad you found the horn too!
Oh, Cari, you make me laugh...
