Want to Try Something?

Don’t worry, this is G rated:


Last Sunday night, I came out my bathroom getting ready for bed and discovered my husband leaning against our bed when he said, “Hey, want to try something?” Hmmm…. we have been married for 21 years, and I don’t think I have ever heard those words. “Sure” I said, smiling.

“Cool, I need you to power up your laptop and see if you can get this video link through the church web server that I have to use if we need to broadcast from the stake center over to the E ½ Rd chapel.”

Great…that was just the picture I had in mind….

See we have an Apostle coming from Salt Lake this weekend. The details have been a bit fuzzy because our stake has either A) Never met a general authority before or B) Are naturally extremely poor communicators. Maybe it’s a little of both. Regardless of the reason that they are coming, it has certainly opened the door to WILD speculation from all kinds of people!

Anyway, because Scott is the stake IT specialist (as well as the stake finance clerk) all the AV stuff is up to him. So, for the past two weeks he has been testing and retesting the links and cables to make sure everything works. Now when I say he has been testing this stuff that means lots of after hours at the stake center trying to get a building that was built in the 1950’s up into the digital age. It is a good thing I’m not a paranoid wife when my husband comes home from church around 1:00 am.

I’ll be glad on Sunday at 12:30, partly because the wild speculation will be over with, and partly because if I hear my husband say, “hey, want to try something?” it might not involve my laptop.
