Well, it may be officially spring now in Provo because my tulips are finally blooming. Yea! The leaves on the trees are also coming out and my eyes are puffy thanks to it. I can handle the allergies in order to get a bit of spring around here. I think everybody has been crabby because it has taken so long. I think I am the most crabby! Luckily, I have slept pretty well this weekend so I am happier.
Yesterday, I went to my friend and co-worker's wedding reception (She is both a friend and co-worker it is not a friend who married a co-worker! :). It was held at the Provo City Library and was just plain awesome! It is always a breath of fresh air for me when somebody around here does a reception that isn't like all the other thousands of Mormon receptions. Basically a traditional Mormon reception is held in a church gym and there is a line of wedding participants that the guests greet as they come into the gym. After shaking the hands of about ten people(most of whom you do not know), you then go and have some cake and punch and then leave. Shule's wedding actually was a party. They fed us a yummy chicken dinner and as we were eating a mariachi band came in and played. About 15 minutes later the bride and groom entered and greeted most of their guests. After all the food, there was dancing and musical performances by various relatives. It was so fun!!! Now, don't get all mad if you have had a typical Mormon reception or plan on having one. Those are perfectly okay and I see how they save money. You are okay and should not be mad at me. My preference is for a little party! :)
Today, I am preparing a lesson to teach in church in about two hours. It is not quite ready but it will be okay. It always is.
