Wild and Crazy Weekend

Isn't it interesting how often things come in bunches.  Sometimes big bunches.  This past week was one of those times.  School is coming to a close, so both Seth and Angelica had closing events to attend.  Seth's choir concert was this past week.  It was amazingly good.  He loves it and has been blessed to be chosen for a more elite choir next year.  Here he is right after his concert.

Early Friday morning Layne and I drove to Draper Utah to attend my nephew's wedding.  Brent married a lovely girl named Shannon.  It is a second marriage for both of them so they now have a blended family.  Brent is a kid kind of guy so they are pretty bonded already.  It was a very informal affair, but lovely.  It was so good to be there and see them.  Here's Brent and his Shannon.

Here are the Berrett men (my sister's family):  oldest son Russell, Mark, Bob (the short guy), Bryan and the groom, Brent.

Early Saturday morning we drove back home and attended Angelica's dance recital. She is crazy for Hip Hop.  After seeing the recital I'm not keen on it.  I'd love to see her in more graceful dancing.  I'm pretty opinionated about dancing, I will admit.  Hip Hop is jerky and unfeminine in my opinion.  I think girls ought to aim for femininity.  It's what we are after all.  Here she is with a dancing buddy, taken right after the recital.  She is on the left.

As soon as we returned home from the recital we had to get ready to attend our final, Friends and Family, Treble Clef singing performance.  It was a wild and crazy Friday and Saturday for sure.  The singing went well, mostly.  We sang onstage for the first time.  It felt a little awkward but we did fine.  Except for just one thing.  During one of Layne's songs our leader Bonnie turned on a shop light and focused it on Layne, hoping to spotlight him.  It blinded him and surprised him so much that he forgot his lines.  We girls filled in but that really bugged him.  I don't blame him, and Bonnie felt very badly about the blunder.  Layne struggles with remembering lyrics.  He has from the start so he writes cheat notes for himself.  This year he's decided he's had enough.  He says he won't sing with us anymore.  I'm a little sad about that as it has been so fun to have him sing with me.  We will see what time does.  Maybe he will soften.

Sunday I gave my last pornography talk to a ward Relief Society in our stake.  It was short but I think it went well.  We also got some training for our new missionary calling.  Altogether it has been a very full weekend.  This past week has been full as well.  But I suppose it is better to be too busy than too bored.  Tomorrow Audrey and some of the family will be here for Memorial Day.  Jessica and her kids will join us on Saturday.  Looks like another fun, busy weekend.

Happy Memorial Day!
