Oh the Embarrassment!

I don't usually get embarrassed too easily. However, I think Sunday, the Lord was trying to teach me some humility. I have two pet peeves, well, not really pet peeves, more like "I would never"s when it comes to church.

#1. It bothers me when people take their cell phones to church. And then let them ring during class, or even worse, sacrament. Well, it is only obvious what happened to me: in the middle of Sunday school, my cell phone powers off. The complete "da da da, da da da" song. I was so embarrassed! I also felt like a hypocrite. But, I didn't even know I had my phone with me.
#2. This one is the BIG KICKER for me. I am VERY ADAMANT that my sons go to church in church clothes; Button up-oxford shirts, and dress pants, church shoes (or boots), and the occasional tie. For me, it demonstrates a level of respect. I just think it is important. Nay, whatever word is bigger than important. So, guess how my son went to church on Sunday:

This outfit consists of DIRTY JEAN shorts (too BIG no no's for me) Cowboy boots (his actual church shoes, I at least remembered to pack those.) and Landon's (yes Landon's) 6 month "Future Mr. Right" onsie. Brandon called it his "muscle shirt". So, the story behind this: I thought I packed the clothes. I didn't pack the clothes. I packed absolutely NO extra clothing, and, out of convenience, my son completely STAINED his shirt from the previous day.
I WAS MORTIFIED!!! It was awful. Cooper had no clue. Gina was sweet and brought extra clothes to church with her. Cooper only allowed her to cover up his shirt...

But honestly, our last minute decision to run down to Utah for a quick visit, was wonderful. It was my brother's homecoming and it was a spectacular day. His talk was incredible. Although our trip was quick, I would have done it again in a heartbeat.

The kids were a little beat... Two trips to Utah in 2 weeks can be a little exhausting. Just wait, we're going again in a couple days.
