The Archibald Family

What do you get when you have a happily married mom of two, a hot single sister, a room full of hot celebrities?.......Me and my sister last Tuesday night!!!!

Thanks to my sister for having her camera. The time I am camera-less I have a night I don't want to forget.

It is not secret that I am a huge fan of Dancing With the Stars. Last year I did a post about meeting Louie Van Amstel and Julianne Hough. As exciting as that was I can now top it.

Tuesday night my Dad had bought my mom, sister and me tickets to see the Dancing with the stars tour. We brought my great mother-in-law along who loves the show just as much as we do. The show was great, but the after party was what really got me squealing like a little girl.

After the show we got to meet a dancer and the host Fabian Sanchez. By the way, apparently me and my sister didn't talk about what we were wearing or else we would have not dressed like twins...Embarrassing!

After the show we ran in to one of my sisters oldest friends. She informed us that my favorite dancer, Derek Hough, was playing with his band at this after party thing. She invited us to go with her. We just had to go, but looking at my mom and Mother-in-law, I didn't know what to do until my sister's friend, Britney, told us we could hitch a ride back with her. I dialled up my husband, who told me to go have fun. We ditch my two moms and headed to the concert. Sorry mom and Becky, I love you, though.

This is my sister and her friend Brittney at the concert.

We got to be VIP's and get right up to the stage. The band was great. Mark Ballas, another Dancing with the stars guy, is also in the band. It is called Ballashough band (Original). There album is coming out in March. While we were head bobbing around we notice that Lance Bass and a bunch of other stars we there to see the band too. I am not a shy person, as you all know, but for some reason I was so scared to talk to Lance Bass. Finally, after standing right next to him, pretending to be all into the band I got to introduce myself. I totally was lame and gave him a hug. He was probably, "get off me you lame fan." He was very gracious and was willing to take a picture with us. He is not as tall as I would have thought. Anyway here are the pictures from that night.

This is Lance Bass for those of you non Boy band lovers out there. Just kidding, there is no such thing as non boy band lovers just those who deni it. I have heard that 70% of people love boy bands and the other 30% lie.

Jake (Brittney's friend) Shannon and I with Lacey Schwimmer a dancer on the show. She was also on "so you think you can dance."

Maurice Green, once named the fastest man on earth. He is a gold medalist and was a star on the show. He was very cool and easy to talk to. So apparently, I was so excited because it looks like in all my pictures that my eyeballs are going to pop out of my head. Seriously could my eyes get any bigger.

My second encounter with Louie Van Amstel. This time he gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

If you ever want to feel ugly about yourself, just have your picture taken with a celebrity. This is me with the beautiful actress Shannon Elizabeth. Derek Hough's girlfriend.

Mark Ballas Dancer and Singer.

The picture I was waiting for all night. too bad I look like a major "UGO". It is not that great of a picture of Derek either. He is much cuter in person. He was so nice. He just stood there and chatted with me an my sis like he new us.

We got invited to go to another after party thing. I guess rock stars have after parties, after, after parties. We decided since it was 1:30 in the morning and reminding myself that I had kids to take care of in the morning, we call it a night. We finally strolled in about 4:oo in the morning. I hadn't seen four in the morning since I was nursing Kendyl...I know really glamorous. I have secretly wanted to be a rock star all my life. I am not sure I would want a rock star life. I am pretty happy with my Jammie's on at 9 and curdled up on my sofa with my hubby. (or blogging till 11 haha).
