Today Madi was in her very first Primary Program at church. She has had a cough for about a month so we haven’t been to church for the past two Sunday’s when they rehearsed so I didn’t know how it was going to go for Madi. We had a copy of her line that she was to say so we did our own little rehearsal at home. Just before it was time for her to go up to the stage I told her to be reverent and to smile and say her line loud but not yell. When they called all the kids to come up she marched up there and found her place. Kimber was upset that her sister left but she wasn’t the only one pretty much all over the chapel all the little ones were crying. So cute that they all love their older siblings so much. Back to Madi… Since they are the youngest class they were the very first to say their lines. Shelbee Ropte is in the primary presidency so she was right there to help the kids say their lines. Madi was the second in line to get up to the the mic I didn’t know exactly what she would do but she handled it wonderfully. She went right up to the mic and started saying her line. “Heavenly Father….” then with Shelbee’s help, “Loves me and has a plan for me.” She said it very clearly and loud enough that you could hear her. I couldn’t have been more proud of her. This was the first time she had ever been on the stage or been up to the mic so I was so impressed that she had no hesitation at all especially in front of such a large crowd of people. I was especially proud that she remembered the first part of her line all by herself. Brett and I were just beaming!
For the rest of the meeting she sat very reverently at least that’s what appeared to be happening since all I could see was the very top of her little curly head. She stood up with everyone when it was time to sing and tried to sing the songs. At some point she got offended by someone so she had a sour face after that. She from the stage was motioning to me trying to explain to me about what had happened. She is so silly! About 5 minutes until the end of the program all of the sudden she was there to sit with us. She had met her limit and now it was time to be done. She sat down and told Brett that she was ready to go and she wanted to go right now. Silly girl! After the meeting we gave her high 5’s and told her how well she did.
I wonder when the next program will be. I can’t wait to see how she does next time. I wonder if she will ever be shy in front of the crowd.
You did such a great job Madi I am so proud of you. Your Dad, Kimber and I love you very very VERY much!

Heather, I don't have your email address, so I'm responding here to your comment on my blog. I have to tell you that I knew something was wrong. I don't get migraines but my eyes were totally wacked out, another symptom. I had been to three eye doctors. One told me I had Bells Paulsy. I went to my personal doctor twice, and was given meds for anxiety. I took them for about three days and said forget it. It is really hard to get decent health care if you are a women. They think you are depressed, hormonal, or menopausal. Just trust your insticts. You have to go to the right doctor to get help. Check out the website I put on my blog. He is formost in his field and really knows his stuff. Even when they could see the blood exchange between chambers in my heart, the Vernal hospital said it was a leaky valve, nothing to worry about. So wrong, and it could have cost me my quality of life. I am at four times more risk for stroke with my ASA + PFO defect. I already show a 5mm lesion on my brain from a stroke. The Vernal radiology said that was normal. Dr. Sorensen was pretty vocal on that one. He said they don't keep up on things or they would know that wasn't normal. Anyway, it is worth the test. I know you are far away, but you do get back to Utah, and Dr. Sorensen is the best in his field. Think hard about it. 70% of the people who get this taken care of lose their migraines.
