Relax, Go To It

Instead of uploading pics onto the blog, I'm going to try this instead. It's actually easier, and it doesn't eat up the available memory. These are some pictures from the Draper Temple Open House, just before the whole phone drama (and a bonus one for you). No, the phone situation has not been resolved yet, but I'll let you know. Today was BUSY. We had to speak in church today, which is always a joy. Most of yesterday was spent writing said talk, so I didn't get to do much of anything else. This morning, we found out what Allen's calling is: assistant ward clerk. I didn't know that calling had to come from the Stake! Oh well--we are grateful that it's not something more demanding. I forgot to mention that I got a calling last week. I am the Primary Music Director for our ward. I was called, sustained, and set apart within the course of 4 hours. So we had to go in to speak with the High Councilman, come back early and speak. We were the only ones on the program, so I spoke for a good 20 minutes. Luckily, Mom & Dad drove to SLC today to hear us speak and wrangle the boy so we didn't have to. Apparently, Benji was his usual busy self; click here to read Mom's account of Sacrament Meeting. Good times. So after we spoke, I had my first day as the music director. That was fun (no, really!), but a little stressful, especially as I don't know any of the children's names or many of the new songs; plus the pianist wasn't there, so I did some conducting and some playing (and I'm woefully out of practice!). Anyway, after church we went to the bishop's office so Allen could be set-apart, and then we just went home and crashed. After the nap, I made dinner (a tuna casserole--not that great, but at least it was edible), fed the boy, gave him a bath, put him to bed, and did the dishes. I'm tired! And yet I'm blogging instead of sleeping. Sometimes I just don't understand my brain. Here are a few fun pictures of the little man. He's getting so big! And here's another bath picture, but his face is priceless!
