I think I was traumatized by my last post, and that's why it's been so long. Like, it was physically painful to put that picture of me up there. Whatever, I have my principles!
Now I have something to provide balance to the universe. Last night I sang in Orchestra of Southern Utah's production of Handel's Messiah.
You guys, I'm a stay at home mom. Approximately 47% of my job is performed in a bathrobe. This October, I auditioned to sing a solo in Handel's Messiah. The audition was an opportunity to perform for someone, anyone. And then I got it. I got to sing this beautiful solo with an orchestra behind me.
Basically, I've been on cloud nine for 2.5 months. Every Sunday night I would go to a rehearsal and sing these glorious choral pieces about Jesus Christ. Every day I would try to find time to vocalize and get really, really comfortable with my solo.
It's honestly been a profound joy. Last night was the culmination.
I got to wear a full length dress, OK? I got to stand on a stage in front of hundreds of people and sing out loud, "I know that my redeemer liveth." I really can't express how much that meant to me.
SO ANYWAY, this is the theater.
It's tonight at 7:30. There are still tickets available. It is beautiful, so beautiful. If you live in Cedar I want you to come. I will still be your friend if you don't come. However, will I love you as much? Do you really want to wonder?
