Monday night was the final concert for Lindsey's high school singing days and it was so sad for me! It was a wonderful concert and the Show! Choir was FANTASTIC. Here's Lindsey with friends Nidal and Melody.
Here's the Honor's Women's Choir performing (she's in both). You can see Lindsey on the front row, bottom right, second from the end.
Show choir earned the highest rankings, all ones, in a recent competition. They sounded amazing during this farewell concert! I loved every minute of it and was so proud of each of these fine students for all their hard work over the years, and was especially tender-hearted and on the verge of weepy, toward my little Lindsey girl. I can't believe she will be a high school graduate in a little more than a week.
They beautifully sang three songs A Capella and it was a very moving performance!
Lindsey turned in her red and black choir dresses at the school today. They will sing the National Anthem at graduation and the school song, I believe. Other than that, she's done! And I'm sad and happy. It is indeed bittersweet.
To wrap all this positive, wonderful singing energy up with an exciting ending, Lindsey was one of seven seniors who received a $500 scholarship from the choir booster club! Congratulations to Lindsey on pouring her heart and soul into choir the past eight years and adding joy to those who have been within the sound of her beautiful voice. She has been asked to sing a duet at the stake seminary graduation with a young man from her choir. They had their first practice on Sunday and it sounded great. She plans to audition for the women's choir at BYU-Idaho in the fall.
Are you kidding me? A triathlon and I have never belonged in the same sentence. It must have been time for something new! (The "BEFORE" race shot, with goggles and swim cap in hand.) What an unforgettable week this was! I actually DID enter my first triathlon, with the goal of simply finishing it. Take note of the emphasis on the word FIRST, because I loved it so much, that you can guarantee that there will be more. It was a blast. Seriously. My friends Lorraine and Robin had trained and signed up to do the event, which was two days ago, on Saturday. Three days beforehand, I heard about it and basically had a spontaneous urge to join them, so I registered. The only partial preparation ahead of time that I had been doing was cycling in the neighborhood here and there on my mountain bike with some other friends. And doing some micro-laps in our backyard pool. Our friend, Dave, was also there. The three of us women appreciated Dave's encouragement and support, as he's ...

I can't believe that she will be graduating already, she is such a great girl I bet that she will have a good time in Idaho...well maybe not if she is there during the long freezing winters.
