All that we had going on this week was Elisa’s primary program today. It’s been stressful for Elisa for a looong time. The primary kids weren’t stressed, but Elisa was stressed. Luckily I was really quite calm up until last Sunday. They had me in charge of the final practice and two hours is just too long to sing the same 8 songs over and over again. Towards the end of the practice the kids were getting a little chaotic and I was getting a lot overwhelmed. It is a good thing I only had a week of being REALLY stressed about it. It was a LONG week. They had a two-hour long practice last Sunday and another long rehearsal on Friday too. Now that the program is finally over she is still anxious with a little residual energy. Once the program started I was able to relax a bit and just enjoy it. It was a great program. They did really good, as everyone in the ward has been telling her. Elisa looks really good up there and all the primary kids like her so much. If I were in the primary I would have a crush on Elisa. Instead Chad got to sit next to me right up in front and hold up song cues. He is a lovely assistant.

Elisa and I went to a dinner theater with Larry and Tara and Daniel, and Cheryl and Sean Meckley. The 4-course meal was spread all throughout the show. It was amazing to see what some people can do with their bodies—things I would not even dream possible. It was pretty intimate too, so the people who had been goofy and mingling around you as characters all of a sudden start doing these incredible acrobatics and circus acts. It was pretty fun. It kept getting better as the night went on. I found out that I wish I could do a sideways flip in a tuck position. You’d have to see it to appreciate.
