thankful for sundays

I'm not going to count the days I've missed blogging anymore. They are piling up too quickly.

For our anniversary last month we went to a stand-up comedian and he joked about the rumor that Lionel Richie is a Mormon. He then said that there is no way he could be a Mormon because he wrote a song entitled "Easy Like Sunday Morning", which is the opposite of Mormon Sunday mornings. Our Sunday schedule is no exception.

7:00 am- alarm goes off
8:00 am- Adam heads off to meetings
10:00 am- Adam comes home, leaves the car running and I leave for choir
11:15 am- I come home, and leave the car running so Adam can meet with the ward missionaries
12:30 pm- Adam comes home, we have lunch and get our "luggage" gathered for church
1:15 pm- leave for church
4:45 pm- arrive home, eat dinner, read scriptures, say family prayers
6:30 pm- all three kids are exhausted and in bed

My favorite part about Sundays is the last item. 6:30 bedtime is awesome! Tonight however, we decided to take the kids for a drive at 6:00. All three fell asleep. When we got home, all three woke up, turning our drive into a quick power nap. It is now 9:41. Lucy has only been asleep for 15 minutes, Meg and Carlie I'm pretty sure are still awake.

I also love going to church. It's something I've done for so many years, I don't know when I started to love it, but I love it now. I am the "permanant substitute" pianist in primary which is my all time favorite job. The choir sang today too and we had 23 people come sing! That is a HUGE success in the ward choir biz. And they sounded fantastic. The speakers were great, and there was a feeling of helpfulness that I wanted to bottle and save. It was just a great day.

Now, it is time to adhere to the true purpose of the Sabbath: rest.
