sing Sing sing

If you know me pretty well then you know I LOVE to sing! I sang my first solo in church with my dad when I was 7! I will never forget that and I actually still know all the words of my dad's part and mine. I then sang a solo in 5th grade at my church and my school choir. Once I got into junior high I was involved with the church youth choir and I continued singing in my school choir. In the youth choir at church I had the solo for the song "Oh Happy Day!" Fun times in youth choir! We traveled to Hawaii my 8th grade year, Boston my 10th grade year, and Seattle my senior year! I have memories from those cities that will last forever. After high school I got a choir scholarship to my junior college and I met one of my bestest friends there, Carla! I didn't really enjoy singing in college so I only did it for one year. I have sang in 3 weddings and I'm singing at my sister's wedding this summer! But for a while there I really just got out of singing. I joined our adult church choir back in August and have really enjoyed it so far. Our choir director is pretty awesome! So the whole point of this blog is to tell you that I'm singing THIS Sunday in church! Tim asked me about 2 weeks ago if I would like to sing a solo soon and I said sure! But I really didn't know it would be 2 weeks later. When he told me about it I ended up getting strep and then that weekend I had to coach my last volleyball tournament. Needless to say I was horse for about 2 days! I was freakin out b/c I couldn't sing the song. It's an upbeat song and a song I can really get down with! And I really like it! But I was scared I wouldn't be able to sing it. Tonight I finally get to practice singing it with the choir and orchestra and hopefully after that I will feel more comfortable about it. After Sunday I will give you an update on how I did! My hands are sweating right now thinking about it! ha
