Home From Church, and I Learn Who to Ask

A few weeks ago, I asked Brent to take a few pictures of me after we got home from Church. I don't wear anything besides shorts and t-shirts during the week--so I wanted to have a photo of me looking "nice." Brent was not happy about it. I keep forgetting that when he is tired, he has a hard time with sudden change in the regular routine of our home. It was a stressful event for him--and afterwards Nathan quietly told me that taking photographs was something that I shouldn't ask Brent to do. Instead, I should have him do that.

This is one of the many reasons that I will have a hard time when he leaves. Both Brent and I have come to depend upon him to put in movies, record Nova, BBC, the History channel and Sci-Fi channel. He knows (almost instinctually) how the screen, internet tower, three DVD players and the cable hook ups all coordinate. I am trying to learn--but it really is easier to simply ask Nathan to find a recorded show I want to watch, pull a movie off of the Netflix list, or to put in a DVD.

Right now he is reading me a list of Church signs--from the Heavy Duty Bathroom Book. "God shows no favoritism but our sign guy does: Go Cubs!" I also like "Whoever stole our lawnmower--God will get you!" Now he is waiting for me to work on homework with him--so I am done writing for the time being.
