Okay, so I know I am way behind with the whole blogging thing, but tonight MUST be noted. My darling husband Byron has just given me the most amazing gift! Against all his personal inclination, he auditioned for Savior of the World, a musical production that a few of our local stakes are preparing to put on for Easter weekend.
This wonderful man stood up before a panel and sang "I Am a Child of God." He sounded amazing!!!! And, lest you think I am just biased, all four of the panel just gasped in amazement. Untrained voice? Certainly? Beautifully clear tones - absolutely!!! No nerves (Byron says that is because he didn't really care what anyone thought - and yes I am totally jealous since I care too much). When he was done singing, they asked him to sing another song! He told them he didn't know anything else, so they gave him a book! He offered to just do manual labor backstage and they said - no way, not with that voice. Byron told them he had been told on his mission that he was tone deaf - they told him he had been lied to. Byron bowed to the inevitable and is getting ready to learn how to sing!!!! I am over the moon.
Now there was a small moment after he sang when the stake choir director pointed out that when he was done Byron and I would be duet partners. Byron shot me a look that said "That was NOT part of the deal" - I just sat back on my heel grinning like an idiot thinking "I told you so, I told you so, I told you so!"
So I get an amazing gift (which will keep giving through Easter and possibly eternity) and Byron didn't have to spend a penny - everyone's a winner!
