Our Confessions

As we read over our past blogs we tend to come off at times as being self-righteous and smug. In the interest of full-disclosure Heidi and I decided to point out our own limitations, particularly our shortcomings as practicing Mormons. So, enjoy our humiliating confessions and feel free to share some of your own…if you dare.

Dan’s Confessions

1. I regularly drink and enjoy Mt. Dew and Dr. Pepper (both contain caffeine).
2. I bring non-LDS literature to church and read it.
3. I have a very difficult time keeping the Sabbath.

4. I refuse to wear a white shirt to church.
5. I rarely fast.
6. I’m late to church EVERY Sunday, just ask Heidi.
7. I intentionally get the primary kids riled up before my wife leads them as chorister.

8. I don’t eat Jell-O (mostly because it is made from boiled animal parts).
9. I have never belonged to, nor will I ever join, and I frequently disagree with the Republican Party.
10. I wrote this blog during Sacrament Meeting.

Heidi’s Confessions

1. I’m perfect.

Unfortunately I have to admit Heidi is right – she is perfect. Now you understand why I am constantly noticing my own faults when I’m up against a feisty angel.

Dan you are going to have to answer to Bishop Kent about not wearing a white shirt and being late to church!

Very funny! Daniel, I know that was difficult for you. And I've always thought Heidi was perfect but it's good to see it in writing.

My confessions (but before I start, are Jell-O or joining the Republican party commandments?):

-Paul and I are ALWAYS late for church

-We often write notes to each other all through Sacrament meeting

-If I'm not writing notes, then I am probably watching and giggling at somebody else's kids or I am totally jealous of the treats they have

-Sometimes I look for the biggest piece of bread on the tray and take it and don't even care how long it took me to find or how far away and awkward it is to grab

-Sometimes I want to bring crackers to Sacrament, because people would totally let me, because they could just think I was pregnant

-I drink caffeinated sodas too, and seem to crave fountain drinks more on Sunday than any other day, probably because I can't go get them

Your "Christmas Card" is posted on my blog.

Jason, as himself said...

Well, that does it. It looks like both Daniel and Kira are going straight to hell in a handbasket.

Heidi's going to be lonely in heaven.

Paul said...

Like Heidi I am the perfect one in the relationship. So Jason is wrong. I will be joining Heidi in heaven. But I also like getting the primary kids riled up for Kira to teach.

Brandon & Christa's Wedding Blog said...

i think i understand the importance of the jello comment...my brother in law who served a mission in utah is against jello for the mere fact that every time he went to dinner at a member's home it was like a commandment in utah to have jello as a side on your dinner plate...everybody's does it in utah.

personallly, i think its gross. shouldn't they make like a homemade pie that will out do the other members as they typically do in utah.
