a little of this and that

it finally feels like summer is here. it is so hot today and (yay!) only 3 days of school left. i am so ready for school to be done. tomorrow mic has a field trip to parksville. they are picnicking at the park and then going mini golfing. i am a driver so my day tomorrow is pretty well taken up. it was a good day in church today. it was high counsel sunday, but surprisingly the talks were really good. brent was very amused by his imaginings that bethany was enraptured with the companion speaker. he was very cute. (i have to admit i am a little partial to redheads) he was very earnest and a little nervous. (brent accredited that to bethany staring up at him.) i think that he would be a good match for bethany. more her type than chip. in sunday school we had a new teacher and she was a nice change. i had even done all my reading. it was a sad topic though--david giving into temptation. that always seems to be such a deep tragedy.
mic gave a talk in primary and she read from her journal what she wrote about her baptism. it was very cute. she got the giggles when she got to the part about carmen dancing while she was singing. (a part not so amusing to me). because she got the giggles mic hid her face a little and then couldn't stop grinning when her talk was over. why is it that when we are in a serious situation and something strikes us as funny our mirth can be very hard to contain? like when i was a yw and it was yw sacrament sunday and i was sitting on the stand and the bishop was getting all emotional and something made me laugh (i don't remember what) and then i couldn't contain it. or even worse when i was yw president and we were having new beginnings and someone was doning a musical number and screwed up--what an inappropiate time to get the giggles!maybe that is why i was released.
in relief society i was asked to tell what i do to nurture my marriage and i mentioned how brent and i talk about the day or our plans or whatever. ironically now he doesn't want talk. my trying to strike up a conversation or do anything with him is annoying to him. he isn't even doing anything else. he is just sitting there. i suggested we go sit outside on our patio where it is cooler...not interested. i suggested doing something on the laptop...not interested. what is he doing now? sitting outside on the patio with the laptop. what is up with that?
so thus i am here giving escape to all my thoughts. the twins recital was....entertaining, but very very very very long. we're talking 3 hours long. trent arnott was at the door handing out programs and very reluctant about having to play the piano. amy and bethany both did a really good job--especially considering that they didn't have much time to prepare. there was one family that was particularly endearing. they could all play quite well for their ages--a girl about 8/9, boy 10/11 and the oldest boy 14ish. the middle boy gave his sister high fives everytime she performed. it was sweet. and then when the oldest was playing and had trouble with his music sister arnott went up to help him. all of a sudden the younger brother jumped up to assist. it amused me. he was so serious about it. i didn't even know the little kids that were playing yet i felt emotional at their accomplishments. what can i say...it was that time of month. the twins were funny with their vying for compliments. one must not say too much about one twin's playing without saying enough praise for the other twin as well. hehe
well this has become rather long and rambling, so i will end. IS SARAH EVER GOING TO HAVE HER BABY?!!
