"...Everyone needs to set goals that they wish to accomplish each year. Name ten of your goals for the upcoming year. Link to the person who tagged you. Then tag seven people and link to them. Tell the people you tagged that they are tagged!"

So here is my list in no particular order of importance...

Life of Praise

Well I SURVIVED!! Sunday, Zoe and I did our duet for the church during offering. It was REALLY nerve-racking for me. I have never sung for anybody other than my family and Zoe. What was a little comforting though, was Zoe's voice teacher helped us a couple of weeks before the duet. Well here it is! (If it sounds tinny it's because of the camcorder's mic.)
