I love musicals!!!

This year on campus the Theatre Department is producing the musical, "Children of Eden." It is basically the book of Genesis...well, kinda...it's more of a spoof on Genesis. I auditioned a couple of weeks ago and made it to callbacks! I am now in the chorus of Storytellers! We are on the stage all the time! We had two weeks to learn all the music and have it memorized for this week because Jessica, a student at BYU-Provo is here teaching us choreography until Pat, a teacher at BYU-Provo can come and teach us herself. This is not jazz square/grapevine dancing. I feel like we are on Broadway! We move so quickly through the dances! Performances are going to be March 24-27 and March 30th-April 3rd. I am so excited and so busy!

Ebenezer and Joshua

Patrick's dad and stepmom have decided to adopt. They are waiting for the final appoval letter to come and then they are off to Ghana to finish the process. Eben is 13 and Joshua is 11. Raelynn sent them journals in which she wrote about the little things that they do in their lives. (What time they get up, what they like to eat, etc) She asked them to write back so that they could practice writing so that they could be prepared for school here in the US. They are adorable and on all of their school work they already sign their names Eben Martin and Joshua Martin. The following videos are the boys opening their journals and the photo album that Raelynn put together. They were so excited! We should hopefully find out this week if they will actually be adopted!
