General Conference, and burning the house down...

Its Sunday, and we had our regional conference at the Marriot Center in provo. There were many good talks given. President Monson spoke. Cindy really enjoys listening to his talks. I do also. He had many encouraging words to give and much inspiration to share. He spoke about how important children are, and mothers as well. He also spoke of many different experiences that he has had as an apostle of The Lord. I really enjoy listening to the experiences that he uses to inspire us with. We went with David and Francesca Hertsch to the conference. They are really fun to hang out with. I enjoy their company. They are good friends. We spent time with them on Saturday as well. We had a barbecue at our house and I demonstrated how to almost burn the house down. The coals for the stove were not going well enough so I added a little too much gas to the stove. I knew that the transition between gassing the stove and lighting it had to be quick because the fumes spread so quickly when it comes to using gasoline ( and this I know from past experience ). So as I lit the stove it burst in flames and almost lit the house on fire as it was sitting too close to the house in the first place. The fire calmed after a few seconds as did my adrenaline. I was very nervous for a few seconds after that silly stunt and grateful that I didn't burn the house down. Next time, less gas. We had fun playing a few games and watching The Simpsons with David and Francesca. I'm at my parents house doing this entry. I have wireless access through their network. Its awesome. I hope I can get Michael Porter's changes done soon. I know that he would like to have a pretty quick turn around, but I'm having a hard time seeing when I'm going to make those changes. I'll make time somewhere to get everything done. I may have a better chance now that I have a better resource. My senior projects class is going to be an interesting one. We're going to do a new DVD for the Aviation department. The would like to use it to broadcast in the student center on their tv's and also on DVD for presentation at their different flight shows that they attend to recruit prospective pilots and students. I think that it will be a fairly large project. I just hope that we haven't bit off more than we can chew. Filming for the project will have to begin pretty soon here. I have a lot of work to do. I'm very busy with every one of my classes. I feel bad that I have to work so hard and leave Cindy and Carter to work for themselves. I find much satisfaction in being a helpful husband, but I sometimes feel that I'm not helping as much as I should be when I have assignments to work on and school projects to complete. It makes is somewhat difficult, but I know that I have to keep trucking on the school work because it is one of the most important things that I can be doing right now right next to being a father. When I complete my schooling I will search for a better job that will allow me to more thoroughly provide for the family.
