Married & Buried

Oh what a night!   (a song, no?)

Our oldest has volleyball tournaments tomorrow (Sunday) morning, so our family decided to go to church tonight.  We were on time for the 6:30 pm service at our church! Early even. Go us! 

Only problem was there was no 6:30 church.  We drove up, saw the full parking lot, but no one was going into the church. That's not normal for 5 minutes before a service begins. So I grabbed my iPhone and quick searched for our church times.  Sure enough.  Church starts at 6 pm on Saturday nights. Obviously we don't go to church very often on Saturday nights! 

So we decided to head to our sister-congregation in town.  We were pretty sure they had a 7pm service.  We were plenty on time for that one.  On the way over, we recounted to our children how mommy & daddy got married in the church to which we were driving.  As we pulled up to the curb, our 3 year old asked, "Daddy, is this where you get buried?"  Apparently married and buried are the same to her and I guess to us old married folks it might seem like married and buried aren't really all that different.  No, I'm joking! 

As we drove away from church she started crying with tears even, "Mommy and Daddy, you didn't get married!" 

Ahhhhh! Married, Buried, eh??
