An eventful, "benefit"-ful day.

This afternoon at work I received a text message from Taylor... "I passed". So after school we went the the DMV and got her drivers permit. (You have been warned.)

We then took a drive to Provo and I let her drive through the tree streets while I pointed out the house that Evan grew up in and everything on the side of the road that she should not run over. We then celebrated with dinner at the Brick Oven.

We topped the night off at the NieNie benefit concert. We watched the Thrillionaires & Mindy Glenhill with special appearances by Ryan Shupe and David Osmond. The highlight was a hug from Steve and Cindy Clark.

We didn't come home empty handed either... we won lot #134 in the silent auction.

I was a great time with my amazing daughter and it does not seem fair that we should have so much fun while playing a very small role in helping the Nielsen's as they continue to recover and heal.

Competing with the Super Bowl.

So, as you know, I am a planner.

Not a good one.

I scheduled Priesthood Preview months ago, not realizing that it was going to be held during the Super Bowl.

I know now, that everyone I know in my ward that plays the piano, is either a Cardinal or Steelers fan... or maybe a fan of commercials. Thank goodness for LDS.org and IPODS. We will be accompanied via technical gadgets.

I know that the Bishopric and Young Men's Presidency has a higher regard for the Priesthood than they do football. They will be there to participate.

All that remains unknown, is if 8 boys and their parents feel the same way.
