It's the Star's Fault

Friday night we went to see the movie about about faulty stars. I was one of three men at the movie. It had good moments and a few uncomfortable moments, like the scene where the oxygen-deprived girl passionately kisses her amputee boyfriend in Ann Franks attic - and people start to clap afterwards.

Haley had her Senior Project show but, apparently, the power went out during the show.

I had to work Saturday morning, but Saturday evening we attended Garrett Bedford's wedding open house. They were married at the Manti Temple. Apparently she served her mission in Tucson. She went to school at BYU-I. Garret said to say hello to Gordon and Eric.

We talked to the Heflins and Thurbers at the open house. Madie Thurber is freshly back from her mission in Houston but didn't want to come to the open house because she didn't want to have to "answer a lot of questions from people".

We went to Carraba's afterward and waited a few minutes on the patio.

 Luckily, the Pellegrino was opened without bloodletting.

 Eric is trying to work out a summer job or an internship. We are waiting to see his plans so we can arrange things.

We went to Madie Thurbur's homecoming talk today from her mission in Houston. Little Davy Spaulding was the youth speaker before her.  She said that in some ways it seemed like she never left and in other ways it seemed she was gone a long time.  She said Davy Spaulding did not look like that when she left. He is now 6'2".

She said that while on her mission she had taught in trailer homes and million dollar mansions and everyone was looking for the same thing (whether they know it or not), and that is true and everlasting joy that only come through activating the Saviors love in your life. She gave a good talk.

The guy who gave the opening prayer was funny. He started out:
"Heavenly Father, we are a bit perturbed by all the turmoil and strife going on in the world".
Luckily he didn't say anything worse than that.
