Tears

This weekend was full of tears. Some good some bad and some just Why am I crying again?
First, On Friday and Saturday I bought a booth at the the West Jordan Days celebration. West Jordan was celebrating that they official have 100.000 people in it. I was excited because I make some very cute frames if you haven't seen on my Rhi's Designs blog or if you have seen my work that I have sent to friends. I love making the frames and was hoping that this would be a lucrative business that I could start. I went into the weekend with high expectations. I only sold TWO frames. Mike was the one getting people to buy. There were several factors I feel hinder our selling experience. The first was our booth was right next to a Karate booth. So these crazy teens were doing there tricks in front of my booth. They would also chase down every person that would walk to get them to come to there safety fair. On the other side of us was some very pleasant people. They were educating voters on getting out on November 6th to vote for school vouchers. It's a new program that they are trying so hard to get. Basically it is where kids that don't work in Public school would get a voucher to go to Private school. It is a hot topic here in UT and I don't support it. Even after I sat for two days listening to the people argue with others. So we were smack dab in the middle of the madness.
The second thing that bought me to tears this weekend is movies. Man I really am a baby when it comes to movies. After church before Mike came home I sat down to watch a movie that was on T.V. called Charly, based off the novel by Jack Weyland. Anyways I did see it when it first came out and cried, but I think I cried harder this time because I have been married longer and now I have kids. I was surprise to see Mike crying as well at the end of the show. It really hit an emotional cord. The other movies that we watched on our T.V. viewing was Forrest Gump. Wow how many times am I going to watch that movie and not shed tears. EVERYTIME!!! I watch it. Jersey started to think that something was wrong with me.
The last thing that I shed tears over was nothing to do with movies, my weekend or my life. It happened right in the middle of Sharing time yesterday. The Primary was singing "Love at Home" I know I have heard this song many times, it is also a tear jerker but I couldn't even get through the song. While I was trying to sing all I could picture was Jersey singing this song to me. All I'm thinking is does she know I pray, read my scriptures and is a good example? Like it says in the song? Then I thought how that song really describes how I should be to my kids for them to know about the gospel and it's my example that they are looking at so I better start doing better. At the moment I was crying I kept thinking what a Young man in my ward growing up said about crying at church. That he had retarded tear ducts. I'm sure I inherited mine from my dad.
So I will end this post. Don't feel bad if you are crying at the end of it because I sure am.
