| My father-in-law loves 
		to sing too, and when he was newly single, he discovered karaoke. He'd 
		frequent the bars on karaoke night. I was only 19 at the time, so I 
		wasn't able to go to a lot of places because I was underage, but he 
		found one place that was a restaurant as well, so we were able to go and 
		see what the buzz was all about. 
		I wanted to try it, but I had never sung 
		in front of a crowd by myself or as a soloist before, so I was pretty 
		nervous. Well, unbeknownst to me, when I went to the bathroom, he 
		submitted my name! Imagine my shock when they called me up to sing! A 
		friend of ours was with us, and I begged her to come up and sing with 
		me. She did, but once I got started, I didn't need her!  
		 
		Once I did it the first time and got over the nerves, I loved it! We 
		have a karaoke machine at home and it's actually a favorite activity 
		with our family, and always fun when friends come over!  
		 
		Here's a picture of me and my kids enjoying a night of karaoke fun!  |
