Brian: New Year’s Eve Star Singing Comp
This is slightly outdated, but my friend had the video, so I decided to upload it. For New Year’s Eve my friends and I decided to go to “First Night” in Provo. As a part of the evening, there was a “Star Singing Competition”. Throughout the early hours of the night guests could audition, singing karaoke. Then 20 finalists were selected. I sang Rascal Flatt’s “These Days” in the preliminaries and got invited to the finals. Side tangent: Out of the 20 finalists, 4 of them were my friends and I. Then all the finalists got to sing with a live band playing back-up. This video is me singing “The Way You Look Tonight”. After the finalists all sang, they announced the top three finalists, and being in the top three of the finalists, I got invited to sing again! I ended up in third place at the end of the night and as a prize got a board game…I know, a board game. But it was still really fun. ENJOY!
Sue’s Friday Fill-in
1. Apparently there’s some sort of time warp going on because we just celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary and Mark will have been out on his mission a year in a couple weeks. What the??
2. I just love a sunny day.
3. 2009 has been a real test for my word of the year, serene, so far.
4. You start your youngest in preschool in 1994; in 2009 he graduates from high school and that was it.
5. For too long I’ve been wishing for winter to be over.
6. I am not obsessed with reading; I am not!
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to an evening of Star Trek: Voyager with Scott, tomorrow my plans include volunteering at the State Solo & Ensemble Festival and Sunday, I want to catch up on news with my siblings!
Sue’s thoughts today
1. It’s great to see the sun, but I’m tired of the cold already and this high pressure is causing an inversion in Utah that makes the air quality bad.
2. I feel swamped by my full-time volunteer PTA job, but am trying to work methodically through my list of things to do.
3. I was able to spend Wednesday afternoon with a good friend who helped me see the “big picture” and adjust my attitude.
4. I laughed alot with 2 friends last night in “the meeting after the meeting” and solved the world’s problems.
5. I’m feeling grumpy about some additional assignments, but now that I write this, I see that hanging with friends doesn’t help me accomplish my “to-do” list, but makes me feel better about myself and more able to accomplish things when I get down to it.
6. I’m blessed to have a good husband and two good sons who help me be happy.
So life is a bit of a pain right now, but special people make it endurable and even happy.
