One Amazing Night!

Last month Dave and some other members of the Lacey 5th ward (plus a few from other wards thrown in) put on a fantastic performance of songs about Joseph Smith and those that knew and loved him.  I forget the name of the man that wrote the songs from the CD - (speak up if you know his name). It was amazing though! Let me back up a few years.  One of the things that first drew me to Dave was how humble he was about his guitar playing skills - and he is awesome by the way! He even has a CD that he and a couple of guys recorded a few years before we were married, with songs that HE wrote! I have a song called Carried Away that he wrote and recorded for me while we were dating.  Back to the present! Since January, Dave and these people practiced every Tuesday night for hours, and quite a few Saturday mornings too.  For a long time I was a bit upset that he was gone so much while I was pregnant and having to put 3 kids to bed by myself.  After months of rehearsals I finally got to hear what took my husband away for so many months.  And it was great! Seeing Dave up there performing again was fantastic.  It was wonderful to see him doing something that he loves and is so dang good at!   Way to go Dave!

 The girls loved seeing their dad play.  Emma said,"Wow, Dad's a rock star!"

He looks pretty hot here...just sayin'!

Oh, we still listen to Dave's band sometimes. We have the CD, and Jake loves their music. I wish we would have known about this. We totally would have come! Way to go, Dave!

He is definitely a stud. Like Aaron said accidently signed on as me...Dave is his guitar hero. He is always ready to brag about Dave's skills when he is being too modest. :) It was so awesome, but I am sure glad to have that time back too!!
