"Men reach their sexual peak at eighteen. Women reach theirs at thirty-five. Do you get the feeling that God is playing a practical joke?"
I went to the temple early this morning.
*Did you know that birds start chirping around 3:00 in the morning? I didn't. However the last two nights I have realized that there is a bird that sits out in the tree to the side of my house that begins singing around that time. I know that the early bird gets the worm, but I think this bird is an over-achiever!
As I was walking out of the temple, a bride and her family were headed in. The bride had a look on her face that anyone would want to avoid having thrown their way and was complaining about the fact that it was raining. Not having enough sleep in my system, it was probably a good thing that I had just come out of the temple and so was reminded to be nice and hold my tongue.
The bride was probably around 24-26 years old, so maybe I should cut her some slack but I have to admit that it kind of made my blood boil for a minute.
Rain? Honestly you are complaining about it raining? Okay I get the whole, you want to have the "perfect" wedding day, but is a bit of rain honestly going to ruin that? All I could think about was the extremely cute, different from everyone else's pictures that could be possible to take in the rain. Who cares if your hair gets wet? Who cares if it washes some of your makeup off? I could just imagine having a picture of husband and wife jumping in a puddle together in full wedding attire with dripping hair, laughing. Or kissing as rain drops fall down around them. I suppose that I am just not very high maintenance and I shouldn't judge others but here is the real reason that I may or may not have been a bit perturbed about the situation.
There is a man that loves and adores you. There is a man that wants nothing more than to make sure of your happiness. There is a man that wants to come home to you each night. There is a man that wants to have a family with you. There is a man that wants to spend not only this life, but the eternities with you. There is a man waiting for you and only you at the alter in the House of God.
So again I ask . . . rain? Really you are going to focus on and complain about it raining?

Don't blame you about the bride. Also I have serious sleep issues and if any bird woke me up too mornings in a row it had better start flying south. NOW.

Brenda, this is why I love you. You make me see things from a whole different perspective. I was a complete B the day before my wedding and feel so bad for all those that got in my way. I think I even said the horrid F word for some stupid reason and the weather was great! The whole sexual peak thing made me laugh hysterically. My husband just bought a pistol if you need that bird taken care of! I know that sounds horrible, but sleep is precious.
