If peeing in your pants is cool, consider me Miles Davis.

I hesitated sharing this story since it's a little embarrassing, but I guess it's pretty funny. I hope you enjoy it at the expense of my pride.

John called me on his way home from work tonight to figure out what we were going to do. Of course I didn't have anything planned, so he suggested we go to the temple. Well it was getting late and I knew I would have to rush to get things together if we were going to make it to the last session. I was all ready to go when I realized I had to pee. I was talking to John on the phone and sat down on the toilet and started to urinate. However, something didn't sound right... I looked down at the bowl and somehow my skirt had landed in the bowl and I was peeing directly on it. (I was already full stream at this point.) FaNtAsTiC!! What do you do!?!

I was reading Allegra's blog the other day and she wrote about how every time her and her hubs try to go to the temple it seems as though something goes wrong. (Thanks for sharing Allegra). Well, I definitely agree. This story is a perfect case in point.

How many 26 year olds pee on their clothes? Seriously. John reminded me when I got a little frustrated that the adversary was going to do anything to keep us from getting to the temple 0n time. So I didn't let it bother me and quickly threw my soiled skirt in the tub and grabbed another skirt so we could leave. Well we made it to the temple on time and had a great experience. It really had been too long since we last went. It was definitely what both of us needed at this busy hectic time in our lives.

So the moral of the story is:
1. The temple is awesome. We are so lucky that even though we live in Minnesota, we have a temple that is less than a 15 minute drive away.
2. In the words of Billy Madison, "You ain't cool, unless you pee your pants." or skirt.

Wedding Weekend

This weekend has been crazy! I woke early Saturday morning to photograph a wedding in St Paul. The wedding went till 12:30pm. I rushed home to get ready for Emily's med school friend's wedding which started at 2pm. Unfortunately, I got home and realized that I had left my camera cards at the reception. I about had heart failure. Luckily, I got back to the reception and the groom had the cards for me. I felt like such a moron! By the time I got back home, it was about 1:20. I hadn't eaten all day because I was nervous about my wedding shoot. I have a great wife and she had food ready for me. Long story short, I took about a 90 second shower, got dressed, and we ended up only being about 10 minutes late to the wedding.

We had such a great time at the wedding. Congratulations Christina and Ryan!! Here are some pics from their wedding (I was not the photographer).
