[.Things lately and a little suprise.]

Last week was my brother Jake's Homecoming week at school.  He had been nominated for 1st Attendant Royalty at Layton High School!  (Being said that he has only been at this school for a year, went to Davis High before, and the Royalty King was the star quarter back of the football team .. I'd say Jake made it pretty well!)  He asked me a while back if I would escort him down the aisle during his homecoming assembly.  I was very scared [being that I was the shy quiet one in high school] that I'd have to walk down an aisle in front of the entire auditorium full of high school students.  Well, Monday morning came along.  I realized something though as I was sitting in the assembly waiting to walk down .. I realized that I didn't need to be nervous, 1 - because .. well hello, it's just high school students 2 - because I probably really won't ever see them again and 3 -  who cares!!??!!

I am glad that I was able to escort him down the aisle.  I felt special being the only sister that escorted the other attendants.  Other escorts were cousins and nieces.

As we were almost to the end I heard someone yell my name [between all the people yelling at Jake telling them how much they love him, it was weird to hear my name].  It was a girl that works with me at Paces.  So I felt a little special knowing that someone knew me too not just my brother.

[I know, I realize this is the absolute worst picture I could put on here, but I only had my mom's phone! So that was the camera we used!  Sorry it's so bad!]

Jake was also in the half time show of the Homecoming football game.  I have pictures of that as well, just on my camera that isn't with me at the moment.

Friday night and Saturday morning were dreadful.  It seemed as if Lance and I basically disagreed on almost everything.  We do have our disagreements, but we get over them quickly.  These two times felt like our disagreements just kept coming.  But I realized later that day as to why this kept happening.  Saturday morning came along and we had both been invited to my cousin's wedding ceremony in the Salt Lake Temple.  I realized as we were driving to the temple that Satan always tries to make us angry and impatient before going to the Temple.  So I had decided, "Okay, calm down and enjoy the rest of the day."  And that I did.  I've only been to a few wedding ceremonies since Lance and I have been married, and I must say this one last Saturday was one of the best ones I have been to yet.  It may have been the longest one I've been to, but by far the best and  I know there will be many more to come!  I love being able to go and relax, enjoy and be reminded of what is tought.  Our wedding day was nice to, there were just other things we both had on our minds!  It was nice to be able to spend time with Kevin's side of the family this last weekend with family we don't get to see very often besides holidays and birthdays!
