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!

    It was nice meeting you. My husband and I were in line with you. You told me about the meet and greet. I choked when I got to Donny, and Marie took over and My picture turned out funny. I'm not close to Donny and I hugged him and there was no picture to buy sad... I survived yes! thanks carrie

    Hi Darlene! I was so happy to read that you are going to be at the show on June 24th and at the same table as Gail and I! We are sooo excited! Of Course! LOL! I have met Donny and the family before at different tmes, but Gail has never met Donny. She met Merrill last year. I just can't believe how close these seats are! My husband, daughter and I are flying in that Monday and then Gail is flying in on Wednesday. Any tips on good places to eat or things to make sure we see while we're there? June can't come soon enough! Take care and I look forward to talking with you!

    happy to see you here...it's been a while since I visited this zone! since the family got me to join facebook, I spend my spare time with them there so keep up with Donny news a bit! Donny's DWTS was broadcast here last year and I so enjoyed seeing him doing brilliantly there! I went with Debz to the Osmond 50th Anniversary Tour at Wembley ....we paid a fortune to sit near the front....the concert began......everyone stood up so little Debz and me saw very little!! (only the screens on stage!!) hope to see you again one day. Love Gill. (Deb's Mum)
