I knew that the girls in Grenada would relate to and enjoy the video, but for whatever reason (sheer embarrassment) I held off sharing it until last week. I posted it to a Facebook group of some close church friends here with a disclaimer that I had sung the whole thing a capella and didn't add the music in until later, so please just tune out the out-of-tuneness. I had to, since one of the girls in the group is a legit professional singer who spent several months on one of those TV singing shows. #famous.
Anyway, long story short, they loved it and demanded I share it to the SGU SOO page (a Facebook page for the hundreds of SGU student "significant others"). I did, and they all laughed and cried and shared it to their own Facebook walls and it went Grenada viral. Jared started having people stop him on campus to ask him if he was the guy in the the wanna-get-a-suntan video. It was one of those 5-minutes-of-fame things that only lasted a day or two, but it was a good catalyst to get me sharing some of my video work. Also, a girl from my major at BYU found it when she typed in "med student wife" to youtube and it was the top hit. We bonded in the comments section.
The subsequent iMessage I sent to my brothers: "Brosephs. Over a thousand people have watched me sing my embarrassing 'want to get a suntan' video on youtube. WHAT HAVE YOU EVEN DONE WITH YOUR LIVES?"
