Okay, So That Didn't Work Perfectly...But Check This Out!

That test of the email posting didn't quite work. It saved my post as a draft, rather than actually posting it. This may not work quite as smoothly as I wanted, but I will not be shaken so easily. I'm going to iron out the wrinkles and make a few more test runs. If it seems that I cannot actually post my email "posts" then I'll have someone, like my dad, come in and hit the publish button once a week. Pictures...well, we'll see about that. I'll try posting pictures too. Trust me, it'll be okay.

So anyway, today was pretty long. After 3 hours of church, and an extra hour of temple prep, I went to two temple recommend interviews and then at 5 got ordained as an elder. Phew, so much going on. On the bright side, it was fun...I mean, it wasn't like boring, so spending that long in a suit wasn't as excruciating as it could have been. It was good to see everyone, especially my grandparents. I'll go to the Mt. Timpanogos temple on Saturday, and I'm extremely excited for that. It was nice to see Bret Millar too. He got assigned to preside over the ordination instead of Dennis Larsen, who was out of town. I love Bret Millar, he's one of the nicest men I've ever met; always friendly and looks out for you. His family's amazing too. Talk about beautiful daughters!

This brings me to my next point. Katie Millar. She's Miss Utah this year, and next week she'll travel to compete in the Miss America Pageant! How incredibly exciting! I danced with her at MORP, so back off! There's a send-off for her on Thursday at Lone Peak, 7p.m. Everyone's going to wish her good-luck, and say goodbye, at least for a week or two. Poor Bret, though. He told us today in Priesthood, that he had to review the rules of football the other day, just to prove to himself that he still knew them. He's so involved in the pageantry, he's begun to critique Katie, and he can tell you all the points for everything. "I'm counting on you brethren to help me out here," he joked. When Kurt Holmstead said, "Well, it's quite probable that Katie could win Miss America." Bret countered, saying, "Yeah! The headline'll read: MISS UTAH CROWNED MISS AMERICA, PARENTS COMMIT SUICIDE".

Phew...just about wet myself over that one! Good times.

Well, this post probably sucked and was totally boring, but oh well. Deal with it.
