That was the theme of our Road Show- Show that were put on tonight. W and I were asked about four weeks ago to help the YM/YW put together and perform a road show "play" of 8-10 minutes. Sitting in the Bishop's office, I looked at W before I replied. He has a crazy schedule and I have been blamed more than once that I say, "yes" to more than I should. So I let him answer and almost fell off my chair when I said, "yeah, that should be fun". Oh, how quickly we forget the work and toil of YM/YW activities. Not more than three years ago W practically served as my 1st and 2nd counselors AND my accompanying priesthood requirement. He truly is wonderful.
So I write the script- with some valued input(Thanks, JOE!) and pull the thing together pretty fast. I employed Natalie to do the dance number- probably THE smartest thing I could have ever done! She is AMAZING and I was truly honored to be able to work with her. Some people are just flat-out talented. She is one of them. Thanks, Natalie.
We had dress rehersals last night and true-to-form theatre: it bombed and tonight's opening ROCKED! The kids did amazing and I was thrilled to have it pulled off and ultimately done with. ;) Sorry, no pictures, yet. (I was behind the scenes!)
On a side-note: I just want to say that prayer works. Not just evident in the show tonight, but in all areas in our life. We truly are a blessed people.
I will have more pictures to post this weekend. We have a date-night planned...EXCITING!

Nikki,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. I wish I could have seen the final product. Tell me you had someone shooting video or something. Way to go at pulling that thing off. I couldn't have done it. You're awesome!
Love the new blog look. And that sounds so cool. I'm glad you guys had fun planning it! And your date night wouldn't include going to the fight would it?!
ReplyDeleteThe show was awesome. It kept all four kids glued to the "screen"!!
ReplyDeleteWhat was yours about? I think we are in the same stake. We went to them last night too and it was the same theme. Our yw/ym did one about noah with dr. Phil. I thought they were all so good. I couldn't stop laughing.
