So, here's the story..............
Once upon a time there was this girl. She was an active member of the LDS church, which she attended every Sunday. She was the chorister in her ward. She loved her calling very much and enjoyed the part she played in Sacrament Meeting. One of her favorite parts about her calling was that her VERY good friend (Heather West) played the organ. So, she loved the company she had on the stand every week.

OCCASIONALLY Heather, or this girl would mess up and they would look at each other and smile:). After being in this calling for almost 2 years there had never been any major mishaps, maybe a little mess-up here or there, but nothing major-oh, I take that back.....Once we started Sacrament Meeting on our own.....that's another story for another time. Well, this girl's luck ended when it was time for the Sacrament Hymn during Ward Conference-The Stake Presidency was in front of this girl on the right while the Bishopric was on the left. Heather starts to play the organ while this girl stands to lead, she puts her foot on the music stand to lift it up like always and her high heel slips off and she falls into the organ, right when she thinks she has caught her balance she falls again. She finally gains control of herself just in time to start leading. All the while poor Heather can barely contain her rolls of laughter. There had to have been some help from up above to play the song, through her tears, tears of laughter. After the song, one of the counselors in the Stake Presidency turns and mouths, "are you o.k.? All they heard is a couple of "thumps" It is a good thing this girl doesn't get too embarrassed. Happy to get through the day she goes home and is glad the day is over.
About one month later this girl has completely recovered from her mis-hap and has moved on while most have forgotten what happened. After an intermediate hymn-which her husband wasn't very happy she had to go up and lead- because her 4 kids were a little crazy that day, she is rounding the organ to walk down the 2 stairs next to where the Bishop and his counselors sit. The speaker starts speaking another language because he just got off his mission and her skirt is doing funny things in the front. So, not paying much attention she doesn't hold on the railing while walking down the stairs and the next thing she knows, she is on the ground! She looks up to see people looking at her with big eyes. The poor thing landed on her knees, but recovers quickly and stands right up. The first person she sees as she stands up is her husband. His face is RED! Then the organist, who is walking in front of her turns and says, "are you o.k.?" She is fine and sacrament meeting goes on with only a FEW people asking about it later.
So, you ask, who is this girl?

haha I cannot stop laughing!! That is hilarious! I was laughing so hard Russ just came over to ask what I was laughing about -- and so I read him the post. We both had a good chuckle :) Wish I could have been there to see that! On a side note - you look like a hot mama in that picture! :) Way cute!! Thanks for the good laugh. I hope you can go at least another month before an 'incident' pops up again :)
It's definately not a sign! Maybe you just should practice walking in heels. Beside if they released you I doubt I would enjoy my calling like I do now. And not just because you have provided some awesome entertainment lately. You really did look HOT today so that should count for something. I truely can't stop laughing. All I need to do is close my eyes and the giggling begins. You are such a good sport and I adore you! Thanks for the fun,
This sounds like something that would happen to me... loved the story!
I'm just sad I missed it! I'm glad that you are OK though. You are one of only a few people that could look classy from doing it! And at least your outfit was super cute! :)
That is hilarious! I so wish I could have seen it! Maybe you ought not wear such high heels!
i think it's time... not sure who i should be more embarrassed for- you or Aaron :) Totally kidding, but way funny. glad your o.k. and your skirt didn't flip up or something. lol. and ya- cute outfit! :) so at least you fell in style.
Yeah you may just need to walk away from your calling...but don't trip;)
Well, Bonnie, maybe if you wouldn't stay up so late drinking the night before church......(my weak attempt at humor)
Yes, you may be a bit tipsy, but I guarantee you look super hot during recovery. Aside from the falls, I'm sure the congregation LOVES seeing your bright, smiling face each Sunday. You're beautiful!
You are too funny!
