You know how they say, if you don't share your talent, you lose it? Well, it's true! We may not have completely lost our musical talents, but our CONFIDENCE level has been significantly diminished... and in my opinion, confidence is about half of your talent!! Despite our fear, Justin and McKenna and I had a really fun experience a few weeks ago performing with the Idaho Falls community women's choir, The Choralaires. Grandma Stevens is a member of this group, and she let us know that they were seeking soloists for their "Songs from Broadway" concert. McKenna and I tried out. Justin didn't... but much to his dismay, he got roped into singing with me like always. It was a pretty special experience because so many of our family members were involved. Grandma sang in the choir. Grandpa sang a solo. Aunt Brooke emceed the show, cousin Kassidy sang a solo, McKenna got to act for one of the songs, and Justin and I sang a duet. (When does that ever happen?! Yeah--it's been pretty fun marrying into such an awesomely talented family! ) It was a night we will always remember! I'm not sure how great we were, but the kind and loving Choralaire ladies sure made us feel good! It really is wonderful to be able to sing with your spouse... even if he hates doing it! Unlike her Dad, McKenna found the experience blissful! Though she was only on stage for a few minutes, she felt like a star. I'm sure she has many curtain calls in her future.
