So Mike and I went to church today for the first time in a while thanks to my previously sucky work schedule and boy was it an interesting day to make our return appearance.
We were sitting in Sacrament Meeting as they announced that a new family in the ward would be the speakers today. So up walked a girl about the same age as Mike & I who took the stand and began to introduce her & her husband and their 3 young children. A few seconds later Mike leaned over to me and whispered, "Um, what did they say her name is?". I proceeded to tell him her name is Tiffany, just as she was telling the congregation how she was attending ISU about 6 years ago when she met her husband. Then, Mike leaned over again and said, "I thought she looked familiar...I'm pretty sure I dated her right before we (Mike & I) started dating....Yep that's her...for sure..." So FANTASTIC! My husbands ex-girlfriend/fling is now in our ward. We tried to steer clear of them for the rest of the day, but I'm sure that akward greeting is looming somewhere in the near future. So yeah, that was akward situation #1.
After Sacrament we moved on to Sunday School and all was going well until I heard the back door open and I looked up to see who it was. Lo and behold it was the cop that pulled me over last week for expired license plates! He is apparently in our ward too! He came and sat with his wife directly in front of us for the rest of the meeting and then when it was over he turned around to introduce himself to us and I was like "Yeah, we've met...I'm pretty sure you pulled me over last week for expired license plates..." Then he asked us our names and we told him and with a look of surprise he proceeded to tell us that he is our new home teacher and would it be ok if he came by this afternoon?!? Um....sure Officer! Yeah...akward situation #2 On the plus side that's that first time we have been home taught since we moved into the ward 1 1/2 years ago! And both of our home teachers are really nice guys. It's good to know we've got a cop at our beck & call...maybe we should tip him off about the suspicious drug activity our lovely new neighbors have brought to the block...but thats a whole nother blog post....
It was definitely an exciting and eventful few hours at church today but I am really glad we were able to go and I'm hoping that this new managers schedule will allow me to go more often...
