Some of my family and I are 11 of 364 women in a choir called "We Also Sing." We are women who come from Ephraim to Logan. Many of us are wives and mothers. Some of us are divorced, widowed, single. We are housewives, employers, employees and students. Some of us are rich and struggling, others are poor and struggling. We laugh, we cry, we try to make a difference. Oh, and... We Also Sing. This is a picture of our choir from last year, so we're all in there...somewhere! Ariel was also in the choir last year.
In this choir, I have the folloing relatives: Eryn, Mom, Amy, Elizabeth, Cindy, Shelby, Ellie, Ruth (sisters in-law) and Mollie & Polly from our book club (that makes them sort of related). This is the CD cover of our latest recording. Our concert is this Saturday, Nov. 1st in the Tabernacle. We have two concerts, one at 5:30 p.m. and one at 7:30 p.m. I have been in this choir for the last 3 years and I love every minute of it! Our concerts are free, but you need tickets to get in. If you have time to come to one of the shows on Saturday, we'd love to see you there! For ticket info, check the Temple Square Events link at http://www.lds.org/events/info/0,8197,726-1-676,00.html

After we both finally squeezed on to the little seat in the booth we hit the "go" button to proceed with taking our picture. After we scanned through all of the options, we saw a bright yellow oval circle appear on the screen inside the booth. The directions read, "Position your faces together in the center of the oval for best picture results." Well...we barely fit in the dang booth together at the same time! Now we thought we had to slide back and up and down in the seat to get our faces to line up in the center of the oval? There wasn't enough room for that kind of manuvering, but we were giving it our best shot. I was about to give up when I looked down and saw some up and down arrows next to the "go" button. I looked back up at the screen and saw that we had missed some fine print on the screen that read, "Use the up and down arrows to adjust the oval." Ahhh...that made the picture taking much easier!!! ~True story ; )
Our choir director for "We Also Sing" told us about a show she was doing at Gardner Village. I decided to get tickets for the Saturday matinee for Roger and I. We had a great time! The dinner was delicious and the entertainment was great! Not too long into the "dinner music" Merrilee (our choir director) spotted Roger and I at a table in the farthest back corner of the room. During a little break between numbers she came down from the stage and over to our table to chat with us. What a kind thing for her to do. Then she asked Roger if he would help her with a number coming up in the show. He didn't hesitate to say yes! She had him lead a group of four guys on stage to lead the crowd in "Y M C A!" What a hoot. Check out is sexy white hard hat in the following slide show.
