The Show Must Go On....

A little over two months ago, Gabe and I received a new calling in the ward.... Road Show Specialists. When we attended the first meeting they asked everyone to introduce themselves. Gabe stated, "We are the Valenzuela's. We've been called as the Roadshow Specialists and we Specialize in nothing." So True. But we showed up anyway and every Tuesday and Saturday for the last 9 weeks we've been at the church singing and dancing. It has been so fun!!! We were put in charge of a group of 5 boys called they Greek Choir. They were so awesome! I love working with the youth of the church. They always remind me to joke, have fun, and not take life so seriously. After 9 weeks of hard work, the kids from our ward and all the other wards in the stake performed their roadshows. They performed Friday night for the parents and Saturday for all the kids. After the shows were done, they had a huge pizza party and stake dance. It was so fun and so different to me. While growing up in Utah, Stake dances were so NOT cool! But here in California, everyone comes and dances. Gabe and I danced the night away! (well for an hour at least) We had an awesome time, and to be completely honest, I'm a little sad its over. I don't know what we're going to do with ourselves on Saturday afternoons. I'm sure we'll figure something to do.

I know what you mean about the stake dances. Growing up in seattle, everyone went to the dances and they were so fun! Then I moved to utah and they were so lame!
