Darlene's Profile

About Darlene

I grew up in North Carolina but moved to Utah in 1979. I met my husband that first month & we were married in the Manti Temple that summer - 2 months from the day we met! He is my sweetheart forever & an AMAZING man. We have a wonderful son & daughter & love their spouses so much. Our son has given us two adorable grandsons. I have been a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints since 1975 - my husband was raised in the church.

I love digital scrapbooking and love to design & create hardback, archival books & other projects. www.heritagetocherish.com

I love genealogy, reading, my computer stuff (when it works & cooperates with me!), studying & implementing emergency preparedness...and especially love Donny.com and the Osmond family!

My first Osmond concert was in the summer of 1971. I have been fortunate enough to see the Osmonds in various combinations over the years. Had a "dry spell" from 1991-2000 where family responsibilities & a lean budget prevented me from being able to see any of the Osmonds in person. But in 2001 I was able to start traveling again & have been trying ever since to make up for that dry spell! :) I have had so much fun seeing Donny at various appearances & making some wonderful friends through Donny.com. One highlight was getting to go to the UK for 2 of Donny's tours - the summer of 2004 and the autumn of 2005 - met so many wonderful fans & had a blast! Those were my only trips out of the USA, so will always cherish those memories.

When my husband joined the Army we left Utah & for the next 20 years his assignments took us to California, N.C., Arizona, Virginia & Georgia. He retired from the Army a few years ago & his job took us to our current home in northern Virginia. We hope to move back to Utah someday and end up where our family began!

    Hi Darlene, Loved ur Bio! Im Judy BTW, I also grew up in the Church I love the family teachings, my ex husband was a convert, & we were in Germany for the 1st Iraq conflict. After that we had a tough time that eventually lead to a divorce!! So sad! LONG story. Our Army tours of duty took us to a few of those u mentioned as well, where were u in Az? we were in Sierra Vista @ Fort Huachuca, I loved it there, it's so beautiful. I still go back there when I travel (which I still do lots) back & forth from California. it's growing so much but still very beautiful! I hope we can chat & get to know each other..Please write when u can, HAPPY NEW YEAR,Love Judy

    "Merry Merry Christmas" to you and your family. Lovely bio story. I appreciate eveything you do here on Donny.com. It would not be the same without you!! Thank you again for 'noticing' my Donny audio moment on Live chat from a few weeks ago. Also, for the "Night Before Christmas Story" I do NOT know how I missed that! Take Care, Sylvia
