It's Sunday, and yes, the party's at our place

This morning I had to get up very early for a training meeting at 7:00. I also had to leave a little earlier than normal to pick up Ryan (who from our conversation yesterday, didn't seem to be familiar with the Orem Institute building, and that's why I offered the ride, but who I soon learned was only a little confused about where the meeting was going to take place). It was an alright training meeting. It's hard for me to be too excited about things that early in the morning. I was asked to bear my testimony about Family History, so I did that. Afterwards, we finished putting together home teaching stats (which were depressingly low) and attendance stats (which were impressively high). Then we had a presidency meeting, which we took back to the church so we could fix home teaching once again. That lasted until 10:00, at which point I went home and did paperwork while Mark cooked me some German pancakes (that was a lifesaver, I was way too tired to cook for myself). Then I had a 15 minute nap, which wasn't much, but gave me some more energy. Then I had to be back to the church for PEC. Only Lori and the Bishopric were there. But it was a pretty productive meeting. After that, there was church, which was kind of hectic because both Saia and Kevin were gone (Saia disappeared on Friday for a wedding in St. George, and Kevin acquired a bad headache after presidency meeting). Then came choir practice which was a little more relaxing, except now they're going to do it at 11:00, so I'm going to miss out on that. Then I came home and made a lot of pasta with chicken. Then I fell asleep for an hour before visiting Becky and Wayne briefly (like 15 minutes) for some cake. Then came ward prayer, which was not as relaxing as it should have been because I felt obligated to check up on a lot of people that I honestly really wasn't in the mood to talk to after so long a day. Then came evening festivities at our place, which after I unwound for a little while, proved quite entertaining. First we started up two-player Tetris, and that proved intense, everybody at the party watching it. Then I got into an epic fusbol match against Mark and Danica. Stephanie was my partner, and we killed them the first two games, lost a very close match the third game, and got killed in the last two games. It was truly a great and hilarious game. So those people as well as the Dorsey sisters and Candace and Darcy and Jake and Earl all stayed over until about midnight, at which point everyone except Darcy and Danika left, and I retired for the evening. Except, they woke me up just now (it's two o'clock) with the Simpsons. I can't believe Danika's still over. And now I can't sleep, so I'm writing. Hmmm. I might have to have a talk with Mark and Mike about this.
