Baptism and reality tv


I just got back from a nice long getaway.  It's always so much fun to hang out with the bf, especially since she left me here in Oklahoma to fend for myself. Ha! Brian could only get away for a few days, but was nice to have the 4 of us back together. It was like old times.  This was a special trip. Little Benny-boo-boo was getting baptized and we were so honored to be asked to be his Godparents. 



While Logan was in school, Ben had lunch with the girls.  I'm almost positive he loved all the chatting about celebrity gossip, our plans for Sundance 2014 (let's be honest, he may take part in next years craziness. We need him on top of his A game.) and our next trip to NYC. 

Have I told you how much I love Golden, CO? Well, I do. It reminds me a lot of home. It has the small town feel that I love and miss at times. The Church is located downtown and is beautiful.
During most of the service Tia had to walk around with Ben because he was fussy. I'm pretty sure he was upset because he was wearing a gown. I mean, can you blame him? ;) 

The service was good. I was situated in the middle of Brian and Zac, which I would later realize was not to my advantage. The Priest started talking about popular television programs. In my mind, I was was thinking oh yeah, I wonder if he will mention any of my shows? Gossip girl, all the real housewives series and possibly Pretty Little Lairs. I knew I liked this church. But.... unfortunately, there is a but to this story. He went on to say, "reality tv is just as bad as porn."  
Say, WHAT?! 
At that moment, two adult men (on each side of me) gave me a "lecture stare" ( I just made that little phrase up and it describes the scene perfectly). They both chimed in their comments, "Amanda, you need to listen to this", "see even the priest says it's trash", "Tia needs to be in here listening to this..."
WHOA! 
Give a girl a break. 

And here is my response:

None of my shows do I/you: 

1. Have to be 18 years or older.

2. Have nudity warnings.

3. Watch people engage in sexual activity without clothes on (maybe some books I read, but we're not talking about books here.)

4. Have to be PURCHASED. (Technically, I'm saving you money. You're welcome.)

You can't compare the two. 

End of discussion. 


Enough about that and on to what the night was really about, Ben.
He did great and was snoozing before we left the church.



We started off as terrible GP because we forgot to snap a photo at the church. 
I blame Brian and Zac. They were to busy lecturing us...
I hope he will forgive us! :) 


He's a natural! 


Two men and a girl. 



Such a great time with some great friends!
