Friday morning we found ourselves nervous and waiting in the control room for our turn on the Bob Lonsberry show. Side note-the nice thing about doing a radio show is you don't have to do your hair or dress up; Ponytails and jeans work great!-Bob was amazing, you'd think he's been doing this for years! :) He made it so easy to just talk and forget about the hundreds of people listening. Singing on the radio was an interesting experience-it's quite different singing in a radio studio than a recording studio! But it was a lot of fun, and we want to thank Bob and his sound guy for making it so enjoyable.
Saturday night we found ourselves in the midst of hundreds of women chatting, laughing, and shopping. We were so excited! It was such a laid back atmosphere, which made it really fun to perform. We sang three different times, for 15 minutes each. In between our performances we had the privilege to hear Carmen Rasmussen. I remember voting for her on American Idol, but as she sang we were looking at each other saying, "She is AMAZING! I can't believe she didn't win that season!" She sounded great, and it was fun to meet her. It was such a fun night-we met so many incredible people. Our favorite story of the night was a girl we met from San Diego. Her stake challenged their youth to read the Book of Mormon-all those who succeeded earned a trip to Utah and tickets to all 4 conferences, and she had completed the challenge. It was so great to see a 13 year old girl absolutely giddy about the opportunity, and she proudly showed us the pages and pages of notes she had already taken. We were so impressed with her spirit and faith.
We have another crazy weekend-Friday we're off to Fresno California for the next Time Out for Women Event. Make sure you come say hi if you're there! We love hearing your incredible stories, and we're constantly inspired by you. Also feel free to email us pics and stories that we can put on our blog. We want this to be about you as well! We love y'all! XOXO

I am an old friend of Whitney's from her Ricks College days. Hi Whitney!!! So excited that you have this opportunity to use your voice and your amazing spirit! I listened to your radio interview online ( yes, i listened to a full 3 hours or so before he finally got to you guys...)You seem to have a great chemistry. I live in St. Louis. Are you going to be out here for the time out for women in Sept.? I'll have to come see you if you are. I am excited to see you guys at the Jenny Phillips workshop in June. Love the harmonies! I can't get "you make us want to sing" out of my head! It is exciting to see young mothers doing what they love and doing it well!
ReplyDeleteRachel!! Are you serious?? You're coming to Jenny's workshop? I can't wait to see you! Are you trying to break into the industry? Are you writing music? There is no better place for you than at that workshop, let me tell you.
ReplyDeleteAs for TOFW, there is one in Logan that very weekend and they are sending us there. It would have been so fun to see you guys in St. Louis!
Thanks for saying hi!! We'll see you in June :)
Brooke...that's way too exciting. I am so thrilled for you guys! I hope that great opportunities keep coming your way. We just love ya.
