Pants Sunday- Sammy's take

I honestly had no idea that this Sunday was officially "Wear Pants to Church Sunday" Sammy told me actually. And he was a very confused man. So I read the article, which started off saying women are all wearing pants to church this sunday to combat gender stereotypes and such. I know I'm not paraphrasing everything correctly, but bear with me. 

So Sammy was like, explain this to me, I don't understand why this is such a big deal. And I had no idea what to explain. It says no where that women can't wear pants to church. It just says to dress your best. So, uh, good luck with your pants I guess? I personally love getting to wear skirts every Sunday. I feel more apt to experiment with outfits and such and express myself! I love getting all dressed up and spiffy! I just don't get that feeling in pants. But that's just me. I'm not going to go looking at other woman weird if they're wearing pants to church. In the long run, church is not about what we wear, it's about worshipping Christ and Heavenly Father and such. Which is partly why I stopped wearing such crazy outfits like this. 

Stripes, flowers, and heart socks.

Back to Sammy. So we discussed the article and such. And then he said, Man, growing up Catholic, these LDS woman have got it GOOD! His reasons? "It's only the priests who give talks on certain subjects, I mean the woman can read a verse or lead the clergy in song but that's it. They don't give their own talks like priests do. The only position woman hold is as a nun. That's sort of like relief society but not really. But when I look at the LDS church woman just do more. From giving talks to organizing things, to just having a more influential presence. And being a nun can't even compare to the relief society. Only a small percentage of woman are nuns but everyone is a part of the relief society."

I thought that was so cool. I think it's pretty awesome that Sammy knows the word relief society, much less about it and how it works. High five! 

So there you have it. There's an almost converts perspective on pants Sunday and all that comes with it.

Say Yes?

Well. Today I went dress shopping. And it was a really fun experience! I went a few weeks ago, and that wasn't as fun. I almost fainted because everything was so tight! And I looked like a little girl playing dress up. This time though, I felt sophisticated, it was a much better experience, and I may have found THE dress. I know it's one of these ones, but at the store I thought I was going to get one dress. But as I got home and looked through the pictures again, I think another one will work better and is really THE one. I'm going to sit on it though.  I thought it'd be fun to put the pictures up here and let you all see! Tell me which dress is your favorite! If there's two pictures together, it's the front and back.  How was dress shopping for you?  I like the lace and buttons on this dress     Love the top and flowyness of this dress. Really love the neck, top, and ruching on this dress. Not sure about the train though. This...

Book of Mormon Musical?

Well, it's here in Denver. Kind of hard not to notice it with all the signs. The Book of Mormon Musical. I have very mixed feeling about this. I know that in the grand scheme of the universe, this musical shouldn't bother me so much. But it really, really does. The Book of Mormon is something very near and dear to my heart. And I know that people make fun of the LDS church on an hourly basis. I've heard all the jokes. Not a big deal. Plus, I'm blonde. I can take a joke. But this musical really disturbs me. I listened to the songs when they were released, thinking oh, I'm gonna be one of those cool people who fights for this play. But then I really started listening to the words. And they bothered me. A lot. Saying that missionaries who are out in the field make up things on the spot, like having sex with frogs will get rid of aids, it bugged me. I don't even want to talk about some of the other songs. I heard them and felt, just not right. I was comforted by t...

I'm not going to waste time talking about why I have a blog or how this is my first new blog post, because I like to have faith in the human race and the fact that they can read and can interpret these things on there own. I mean, there aren't any posts under this one so obviously this is my first new post. And having a blog is not a mandatory thing to live so one could hypothetically conclude that this is for fun. That is hypothetically speaking of course. I just used 89 words explaining why I didn't need to explain something. I hope I counted that right. Anyways.  Three years ago today on a rainy day I remember being in a basement with a bunch of little people and adults for a scout thing. And I remember them talking about how a certain friend of mine was going to be a senior and how that's so crazy. I was just going to be a freshman at the time and thought I was the coolest thing since duct tape. (Sorry sliced bread, duct tape is waay cooler.) Now that friend is get...
