We have a birthday and an anniversary this week in my family. My Dad turns 60 this week and my brother's 2nd wedding anniversary is this week. Time is really flying. It is hard for me to believe that Jonathan has been married two years already. And he turns 30 in August....yikes. Makes me feel old just thinking about it.
We just finished unloading all our equipment. We had a nice short wedding today. I appreciate the receptions that don't last 10 hours like the one before this wedding did. It gets pretty boring after about hour 3 or so. Especially when you don't know anyone---and you are hired help so it's not like you can just get in there and party like the guests. Although, Darrin and I did dance several times at that 10 hour reception and the bride came up to us and said she was so happy we were joining in the fun because it made it feel more like a celebration. okay. Then later on she pulled me out onto the dance floor to dance with her. I have only seen this bride once before at her bridal session. She was an interesting but very sweet bride.
Hopefully this week will be a little less crazy than last week was. The conference was better than I had expected. It is a conference on school safety. They had a few break out sessions and one of them was on how the media is teaching our kids to kill (I think that is the title of the talk). It was pretty interesting and scary at the same time. He discussed the recent school shootings and the research that has been done on the shooters. Then he discussed how in 1965 there were groups going to congress saying that the violence in TV was too much---and think how much worse it is today). He made a case for not letting a child watch any TV, videos or movies til they are at least 6 years old. He was especially against video games. He says they are training our kids to shoot. I would like to look into his research a little more.
Anyways....I hope you have a great week next week. I definitely plan on it...
