Last Sunday I was asked to substitute in Primary for our singing time leader. I have never done singing time and was feeling pretty nervous. I was afraid that I would time the activities wrong and have lots of time left at the end, or I worried that the kids would just be so chatty that I couldn't get their attention. Well, it turned out that it was a lot of fun. We did a little egg hunt and each egg had a song with it. The kids were really well behaved and surprisingly, things went smoothly. I was feeling pretty good about myself when it was all over. Justin came in to watch for some of the time (he was just too interested) and afterward he said, "You didn't really act like you were nervous at all. It went great." I said, "Yeah, I really wasn't all that nervous after all. It was fun!" Then he said, "But I could tell that you really were nervous deep down because of the giant pit stains under your arms!" AAAHHHH! I looked down and to my horror saw that my light blue shirt had turned dark. Well, I was humbled. I'm not that great after all if I can't pull off singing time without giant pit stains! Pit stains and song leaders don't mix.

About Me
- Justin and Kenzee
- We (Justin and Kenzee) met at BYU when we were paired up as partners on the folk dance team. We were married 11 months later and then transferred to Utah State University where Justin earned his master's degree in electrical engineering. I finished my degree in elementary education there, too. We've been married for 8 years now. We have two sons. They are our true joy and biggest challenge all in one! We live about 30 minutes west of Salt Lake City. Justin is working as an electrical engineer and loves it. I'm happy to be able to stay at home with the kiddos.

Being a Primary chorister is a workout! Those weren't nervous marks, just signs you were working hard! I personally think it's one of the hardest callings in the church. To have to teach, entertain, and keep reverent large groups of children in two different age ranges for 20 minutes each, every single Sunday, with a huge performance at the end of the year showing you how well you did. Wow. I know I'm going to have that someday... I'm hoping it might be later than sooner. Now you've got some practice!
Kenz- you did an absolutely amazing job!!! Don't worry about your pit stains...remember, I didn't even notice them and I was watching you the entire time. I think Justin was just checking out his hot wife too much, so he noticed every detail. ;) THANK YOU so much for helping us out! You were so much fun!!
You're too funny! I think that would make anyone sweat the first couple times doing it. I remember how exhausted I was after teaching sunbeams - and you had a huge room full of kids that you were trying to keep attentive. Next time will be nothing, lol.
That is awesome. Lol.
Ha Ha! Thanks for the good laugh Kenz. I've been meaning to ask you all week how it went. Plus I really was going to come in and observe :) but I totally forgot. I was really bummed when I realized that. I'm sure you did awesome, and if it makes you feel any better, I had wet armpits EVERY WEEK without fail. It is seriously a work out!! I'm glad you had fun.
Hahaha Kenz...you are too funny!! I bet you did an awesome job...pit stains and all!!!
