Wal*Mart was closed on Easter!

I was very disappointed. Wal*Mart was closed on Easter! I went to pick up some ice for the dinner at Grandpa and Grandma's house, but my favorite store was closed. Okay, it's not my favorite store, but you've got to love the prices. I really just wanted to take the picture to act like a Japanese tourist to the United States that takes pictures of everything.

Russell spent the night and I had a very enjoyable time waking him up to the Mexican music station and pots and pans. Russell got mad at me, but that's understandable.

Brian and I went to church this morning and it was alot of fun. I knocked over this Asian guy and had to say sorry (even though I didn't know I did and Brian had to tell me). Besides that, it was fun. There was one guy there who I know that I tried really hard not to judge (especially since I was in a church). This guy wouldn't know me, but I know of him by his "swinger"-ish reputation. When I first saw him, I totally thought to myself, "What is he doing here? He shouldn't be here." Then I thought of what Jesus would do and chastised myself for having those thoughts. Besides that, I'm doing really well on my New Years' resolution of not judging others.

Brian and I had an argument on the way home from church. I stopped at the Chevron and got out of my car to fill up. After I put the pump in my car, I got back in right as Brian was dialing someone on his phone. I got upset and said something to him to the effect of, "You know that getting on your phone and talking to someone when I'm the only one in the car annoys me." I don't think I said it that nicely, but that's what I was trying to say. I can't remember the specifics of the argument now, but I remember that it was my fault because I didn't understand what Brian was actually doing. He wasn't going to talk to someone--he was just going to leave a quick message.

We went to Grandma and Grandpa's house for a dinner organized by Aunt Jeanette. There were alot of family members and it was really fun. Brian and I mostly played outside with the little kids and I took these two pictures of Wendy's grandkids. I think I did a good job with these two pictures; I'm going to frame them together and give them to Aunt Wendy for a present. I know she'll like them. At the dinner, she asked me if I would take pictures of all her grandkids so she could hang them in her kitchen--I was honored that she asked me. I guess I can take decent pictures of little kids.

When we got home, I studying for my International Relations test I have tomorrow morning. I'm so stressed out about it--in fact, I always stress out on tests and I usually do well on them. I hope it's the same in this case. Brian went to his Dad's side of the family for his Easter dinner; I didn't go along because (1) Brian didn't ask me to and (2) Brian didn't ask me because he knows I feel uncomfortable there. It's the side of the family where the grandparents don't know (so they're nice to me), his Dad and one aunt don't care (they're nice to me), but the rest of them know that Brian's gay and don't like it. Wait a minute! Maybe one reason Brian doesn't want to get married right now is because his grandparents don't know he's gay! I'll have to ask him.
