The joys of singing...

She just looks so sweet in this picture, I had to 

post it!

    So I told a few people that I would be singing this week in church.  Don't worry it was not a solo...instead it was our young womens presidency which I am still apart of.  Our president felt like it would be a good idea if our girls could hear us sing. I personally have no idea why she wanted to do this.  There are four of us that make up this group and needless to say none of us have very strong voices.  Once again, why are we doing this?!  Several weeks ago we had our first and only practice, which I must admit didn't sound horrible, but nowhere near how it should.  Did I mention we were singing Walk Tall Youre a Daughter of God.  A very beautiful song that can easily be butchered by someone like me who gets a little over confident and tries to hit some of those high notes!  I was dreading singing all week long,  not that I mind getting up infront of people, but I HATE getting up knowing I'm going to look dumb. Sacrament was not long enough today...before I knew it I was walking up to the front.   all four of us were trying to squeeze around this little microphone that I somehow ended up right in front of. (Lame)  So I strategically grabbed hold of it and pushed it over to the right, as far away from me as possible.  My dear friend Shannon ( who now had the mic directly in front of her)  sweetly pushed it right back in center!  Darn!  But on a side note I did get some laughs in there!  After a few seconds we were ready to begin the dog howl of the century, I quickly looked behind me to see if I still had room to run.  Nope...instead I saw our 1st counselor who literally had my bum in his face.  This is naughty to say, but I was told that it was probably an improvement from what he saw everyday at home! No worries though, he had his head practically glued to his feet, I then quickly apologized for invading his space and turned back to the crowd and smiled. Time started dragging but before I knew it the intro was being played, I gasped for my breath when I heard the intro being played again.  I guess another practice wouldn't have hurt us!  This time we all opened our mouths and started singing and I realized that we weren't horrible!!  Phew!  Halfway through the song I looked at my cute friend to the left of me and noticed that her lips were moving but no sound was coming out!  What a great plan, I should have joined her! So in the end it wasn't that bad and I think I might even attempt a duet next time...anyone interested?  No guarantees that sound will come out though!

I didn't have any pictures obviously of me singing, so I put some pics up of my two favorite people instead.  Notice the tongue thing Sarah Grace is doing in the second.  Is it possible that she gets it from her dad?!
