I had the privilege of being able to sing during Relief Society today. On the mission, I learned a song from my hijita called "Dios Esta Aqui". I sang that with her almost every day. It was something that got us through the hard times, and something that always just helped to bring the spirit to me.
A really tender and sweet lullaby that singing with Steve has made even more tender. I love that it is something we share together.
I truly enjoy the opportunity to share my gifts with others. While I prefer harmony, not because I am scared or can't do a solo, but I think that is pure beauty there and talent---the talent to HARMONIZE( I digress)....Anyway, it was still a very enjoyable and pleasant experience. I just was happy to be asked in the first place to do it.
I explained my connection with the song before I sang it, and I really feel the spirit of the songwas portrayed. So, thanks for allowing me the opportunity, andmaybe one day Steve and I will be singing together in sacrament.
Oops, I accidentally deleted my original post. Anyway, your voice is so gorgeous. I'm glad you had the opportunity to sing in church. Your family is very musical, right? I love getting together with my family and everyone crowds around the piano to sing hymns or do an impromptu recital. I love music. Yes, I studied Sociology. That's so cool that you did too! I love it.
Jamie, I wish I could hear you sing. It is so sweet that Steve sings so you can enjoy that together. Dave and I met in the Ricks College Symphony and that is something that is really special in our marriage - the love of playing music. I'm so grateful for that.
--I love dimples...I love everything about them! When you look at someone who has dimples, it means they are SMILING, and that really makes me happy. Steve and I have dimples on the opposite side that we are both so proud of. When we got married our bro-in-law said our child would be a "six pound dimple". We quote that all the time. Andy does have two huge dimples, but I can never seem to get it on camera...one day!
---I love the power and influence of music. Our first date was at a Jon Schmidt concert (which is another love in my life). Music has healing power, music is how you feel and express things.
---I love that my family has always enjoyed singing together. Mom would always make us carol with a loaf of bread or brownies to our neighbors. I love that my dad had us singing barbershop at a young age. I love that my husband and I were in a musical together.
--I love musicals! For as long as I can remember, I always looked in the weekend section of the newspaper to find out audition times. I love that my dad took me to musicals. I love that my 16th birthday present form my sister were 2 tickets to Les Miserables (not for a date mind you--but for her and I to go). I love that I saw Phantom of the Opera with my husband. I love that my little sister got me obsessed with Highschool musical. I love that my husband bought me the blanket for my birthday. I love performing in them, and being on stage---I love the feeling.
---I love football, but more particularly--BYU football! I love the PRIDE I feel walking into the stadium and seeing my granpa's number displayed. I love cuddling up our baby and making a day of going to the games. I love that my first game was when I was a baby. I love cheering my team on and supporting them through it all.
---I love BYU. It was the only school I applied to, the only one I even wanted to attend. I love that when I was accepted I called up my grandma and that is the first time I remember her crying. I love that I truly had the BYU experience. I love that it is where I met my husband. I love that I bleed BLUE
---I love being a mommy. There is nothing in the WORLD that compares to it! My little gal is really my pride and joy. I cry every day just looking at her. It was such an experience to get her here, and I recognize that some people never get that experience. They will be blessed---I am so glad I got to have that experience, and pray for it to happen more.
---I love that my husband knows how to follow his heart. He had a feeling to make a very important trip to Arizona, and here we are today! I love that he knows just what to say when I need to hear it. I love that he is truly my sweetheart, and my best friend.
---I love that my grandma helped pay for my piano lessons. Piano has been very theraputic for me, and a constant in my life. I love the discipline that comes with the piano...I love the way it makes me feel. I love that my sister asks me to play for her and her husband. I love that my husband will listen to me play.
---I love that both my husband and I speak Spanish. Not only the Spanish but the reason we KNOW Spanish. I love that we both served missions and that we loved them and love talking about them.
---I love the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is what makes me whole, what makes me complete. It is what makes sense...It is what brings families together.

I just have to say that the song you sang in RS is still in my head! I really liked it and am glad you shared.
