So it's all Brent's fault!!! There I was at the New Year's Eve dance happily celebrating 2011 which of course will be the greatest year of my life this far. . . and mind you it will be hard to top 2010. 2010 was AMAZING!!! But anyway I decided that the best way to start the new year off was to make sure that I wasn't going to be a wall hugger on the first slow dance of 2011. So as Brent was smoothly trying to make his exit for the refreshment table where he'd hung out for every single slow dance that night I intercepted. And we danced. And as we danced we talked.... I know imagine that...
But I guess I should also mention that Brent (who is single, mind you) is also in our Branch Presidency. So he asks me how I was doing and what my thoughts were concerning Brandi coming back... REWIND.... I guess I should mention that Brandi was the chairperson of our activities commitee. And she's been on vacation to Hawaii since November. And I was was left in charge of the Branch Activities while she was away. .... And I was like I'm doing fantastic... I'm so happy it's over...
....FYI never plan a ward Christmas Party and a Ward Tithing Settlement Blowout with food in one week..... It tends to drive the person in charge of Activities a little crazy that week. And then we added a service project for a family in our stake into the mix and this yours truly became one BUSY chica...
Fast forward to Sunday now... I rejoice as I wake up at 10 am. Knowing that I don't have to go to Branch Council again at 11am. That Brandi is going once again! In fact I even end up making it late to the Activities meeting held just after 12pm. (it takes about 20 mins for me to drive to church and it took my roommate and I a little longer to get out of the apartment). So I'm late And then after I get there I go to hand Brandi her the stake calendar etc notes from meetings etc... And she's like go ahead and keep it... this should have been a clue to me that I should have quickly made my exit first after the meeting... but NO dumb me I linger... trying to stuff the calendar and other junk into my already full purse.
And then I realize that Brent (the 2nd Counselor in the Branch Pres.) is still holding onto his chair... he hasn't put it away. And as I stand up he's like can you wait for a minute I'd like to talk to you for a second. And of course he asks me if I'd be willing to take over as the Activities Chairperson. . . .
MAN!!! I totally thought I was off the hook when Brandi came back and was applying for a new job here in Idaho Falls. Of course I said yes, like I've basically been fulfilling my new calling for like the last 2 months... but still it maybe if I hadn't cornered him into the deacon shuffle I'd still happily be only the Institute Representative for our stake. Oh well I guess we both got cornered this week.
