You never know what to expect with Utah weather. This weekend was Christmas break...er, I mean Spring break. After the blizzard on thurday, I got mixed up. So maybe the weather wasnt the best, but we still had a pretty good weekend. Sunday was definitaly the icing on the cake.
Sunday, April 19th 2009 we blessed our little man in church. For the last few weeks we have had it scheduled, I never gave it much thought. Tami on the otherhand thrives on stressing about things. She gets it from her mother, and when the two talk together its worse than a tapdancing clubfoot...(dunno, just made it up) you get the point though. So after countless conversations about the muffin count, and what size of dixie cup, the day was upon us. We invited some family and close friends. I thought I had a cool demeanor, but as it got closer I folded.
"Are you nervous?" everyone asked. H#*L yeah I am, but I couldnt really let them know the full extent. Starting the night before it all started hitting me. Grumbling tummy, restlessness, and sweaty palms... I had to pop an ambein just to sit still and fall asleep. Next morning came, clammy palms in full force. To keep the bore meter down, and the story short, all in all it went well. With a tounge and mouth that felt like cardboard, I stumbled through. Capped it off hoping up to the stage and holding Ollie up like Simba on pride rock, then went and sat quietly, thankfull I was done.
We had everyone come to the house afterwards and thank goodness nailed the bagel and muffin quota. Everyone chowed down and then all was quiet again. Thank you all for supporting Oliver and me by the way!
We then decided to not let this beautacular day go to waste, so our little family headed to the Hogle Zoo. I kind of took a scenic route (getting off 215 a bit early) none the less, we ended up at the gates before too long. Ollie slept most of the afternoon, but I think he had a great time dreaming of monkeys flinging poop, and wishing that obnoxious kid would just fall into the bear pit already. The little while he was awake we checked out some of the birds and fish in discovery park. I think he most liked the bats!
It was a really great day. I dig being a dad. I have a great little guy who's super well behaved, and much more handsome than his old man. Must have more of his momma's looks than people give him credit for. And I have an awesome wife who takes really good care of her boys! I am the one who really got blessed today!
