Yesterday on the way to church Ashlee told me about something that is going on in show choir. She said that the choir is working on a new medley that is a collection of Broadway hits. She said that last week they started on one of the songs that she felt was sacrilegious because it takes the Lord's name in vain. She said that it made her very uncomfortable so she spoke with some of the other LDS kids in the choir and they decided that they were not going to sing the song. They all went to the teacher to let her know that the song made them uncomfortable and that they would not sing it. So the teacher is letting all of them sit out during that song. With all of the LDS kids sitting out it takes out half of the choir.
I am grateful for Ashlee's courage to stand (or should I say sit) up for what she knows is right. She said that she was thankful for the other LDS kids that have the same standard and were there to support the decision.

What a great kid you have! Maybe leaving Ella with Shaun wont be so bad since Ashlee seems to be turning out alright. I'll have to share that story with my young women at church!
Ashlee...Goodness girl you never cease to amaze me. You can change the whole of Montrose for good. (get off my back people I can have bad memories if I want)
Ashlee, that's my girl. Keep doing all the good things you are. We are so blessed to have you in our family. Stay strong girl - peace out. Lv, GraMadre
