Some Fun Stuff...

Jon and I have done a few really fun things lately. Actually they both occurred within two days of each other a week and a half ago now. We signed up to perform in our ward (Mtn. Vista now) talent show. The show was quite entertaining and boasted performances from various members of our ward playing instruments in and out of tune, children singing primary songs, our own professional comedian's comedy routine, a ventriloquist and a fiery sermon on testimony. As I said, it was quite entertaining. Jon opened the show by playing two classical songs on his Spanish guitar and did a beautiful job. I think it was the best I've ever seen him perform. I was so nervous before he got up there (for us later in the show and for him) but as soon as he started playing all my worries melted away. I'll include a video of him playing one so that you too can revel in their tranquility.
Jon and I performed 'Don't Wait' by Dashboard Confessionals. Jon played the guitar and harmonized while I sang lead vocals. Despite me getting my lyrics a bit mixed up, I think it turned out pretty well. Mom said that everybody cheered the loudest for us--I'll take her word.

Then, on Saturday morning we got to announce for the Henderson Heritage parade--I'm not exactly sure what the purpose of this parade is, but it included visits from Las Vegas Classic Car Club-really cool restored model T's, Las Vegas Muscle Car Club-this was awesome-so many beautiful cars, plenty of high school bands and even two Shriners associations. We had our own booth and sound system. The committee provided us with a script but we were free to ad-lib as we liked. It was really fun and neat to see a Las Vegas community come together. I just wish we had taken pics! We've gotten really bad at bringing our camera with us, but I'm determined to do better if for no other reason but to show off on our blog. ;)

Well, here it goes...

I never thought I'd say it, but I'm finally joining my family in the world of blogging. And actually, in contradiction with Laura, I'm doing this in the hopes that you will think our lives are very glamorous and dramatic-j/k I've gotten so much pleasure out of reading all of your blogs and have felt like I have gotten to know you all a little more intimately even though we are far away, I thought I'd give it a try.

Although spring is in the air here in Vegas, I have not been enjoying the sunny skies, warm breezes or longer days--I have been so sick! I know what you are all thinking--No! Missy, it can't be! You NEVER get sick! How did this happen? I have just come to the conclusion that, and this is a big admission from me...I AM SICK MORE OFTEN THAN THE AVERAGE PERSON. IF ANYONE SO MUCH AS MENTIONS BEING SICK OR SNEEZES AROUND ME, I WILL GET SICK. Jon read this and said that despite my best efforts to sound sarcastic, I sound like I am complaining. Be not confused, I am not complaining. I know I get sick a lot and everyone around me is very good to accommodate my frequent ailments.
I want to thank my dear husband for indulging me and taking very good care of me while I've been out of commission. He has pretty much seen me at my worst (not the first time) pink bathrobe, bed head, no make up (better yet, yesterday's makeup smeared all over my face) red, runny nose and smoker's voice. I'm a vision. Anyway, enough about my ails; I'm looking forward to blogging all my glorious day-to-day happenings for you all to read about. I know you're waiting on baited breath. Thanks for reading.
