After almost 21 years in the choir Matt's mom finally called it quits/they kicked her out...lol(20 years is the max time you can be in the choir). She has been in the choir since Matt was 9 yrs old....that to me put 20 years in more perspective. What an accomplishment! I also have a lot of respect for Kerry for taking on all the extra responsibility at home and with the kids while Joy was off doing choir stuff for all those years. We had to be creative so that we could be part of the celebrating see we found out in Feb when the retirement program was and we had already booked our vacation to San Diego for that exact weekend. But we were able to leave a day later and get together for dinner the night before we left. We had a great dinner with just the adults catching up and just being together. We wish all Matt's siblings lived closer. It was great to see Tiff and Aaron and see how life was going.
After dinner most of us minus Nick and Brit went back to our house to play game. I decided to play know it or blow it. We played in groups of boys vs girls. I have always viewed Kerry as the competitive one but this game brought out Joy's competitive side that I have never seen before which made it even that much more fun. Sunday they did a program at the end each retiring member was given a plaque commemorating their years of service and got to have their picture with President Monson.
After they had a luncheon at Nick and Brit's. We are really excited and hoping this means we will be able to see and do more things with Kerry and Joy. Congrats to them both for all the work they have put into the choir in the last 20 years!
