Kicked out of Choir...

So, ward choir started up in our ward probably around the time that school started and Madison's been going for quite some time thanks to Dad. Dustin and I were never really keen on the idea of joining the choir but we have two little girls in our house that really wanted to. When it started up this year Madison begged me to go and since Karley is now 8 and can legally go now we're gettin' it double time (the begging). So Dustin and I came up with a plan that we would switch off taking the girls since Scott is napping during that time. I went the first week and had kind of a hard time since I can't carry a tune anyway, I can't read music, and I have no idea what part I sing. I felt like I was back in young women's totally red-faced being made to sing I Walk By Faith in sacrament...NIGHTMARE!!!! I secretly vowed never to return. I was totally banking on the fact that Dustin CAN read music and hoping after his first choir experience that he would just take them from now on. Not the case, he came home and said he totally HATED it. He was so grumpy the rest of the day and very vocally vowed never to return. So, I totally want my kids to go for stuff even if it not "my thing" so I took them today. Dad said I should just sit where I want and so I sat in between the sopranos and the altos. That way I could pick the easier group to sing with. I had a much better time and I actually ENJOYED myself. We even brought the music home to practice. There is hope for me yet!!! I've decided to stick with it ... at least until after Christmas.ha ha

I'm in the choir too! I've been trying to convince Asher to come with me, but he's says not just no, but Eleano.
