Who does this
There are certain callings in the church that when you are so blessed to get these callings you don't realize what comes with it. For instance. When I was called to Primary President I figured I would get a binder full of info and a key to the closet. I never expected the box. You know the box that I would keep to just pass on to the next primary president. In it was 3 new boxes of plastic page protectors (those I would use), about 10 yrs of previous primary sacrament programs, alot of leadership manuals and a bunch of other things that I never looked at. I had this box sitting in the garage minding it's own business. Not hurting anyone or anything. Just sitting there doing what it was supposed to. Until this weekend when I was on my YW outing. You know this last weekend when my leaky kitchen sink was supposed to be getting fixed. More important things happened instead. The garage took priority and Thayne decided to clean it. So on Sunday when I did the never before and went looking for my primary box to get a plastic page protector and couldn't find it. This happening as Thayne was walking out the door to leave for California I asked him where my primary box was. The look of fear came across his face. I could see him saying a silent prayer that it was still in the pile to go to the trash so he could happily salvage it and handed it to me. Nope, it was gone. He threw away my primary box! Who does this? I have never looked at his scout pile and said "this has got to go to the trash". Ok so I have thought that but I knew I could never really do it. Not until now I couldn't do it. So it is Monday morning and I am still stewing over this brave act of non judgement Thayne accomplished this weekend.
By the way, kitchen sink still leaking.

So, I knew the end of the story right after you said it was in the garage. I know when Thayne cleans his garage everything goes no questions ask. The booklets can be replaced and as far as past Sacrament meetings go you don't need them, I promise. I never looked at those bits of historical memobilia. Every year is a new year. Your Secretary should have al the info anyway and only person needs to store it. Not worth the ulcer. Your creativity will keep that primary going great.
Unbelievable! Gotta love him!
I confess I tend to be more like Thayne when I clean things. I have thrown much of Trevor's scout & ward missionary things away because he never looks at them nor does he have a clue where it's at because I'm the one who puts them away. So since I'm secretary should I be saving a copy of handouts and things?? Definately haven't been doing that...
Not the Primary Box! Oh well, if it is like mine it probably needed cleaning out anyways. I guess it is time to make a new one. It is easy to handle when it is someone else's husband but if it was Adam I would kill him! JK
my hubby threw out ALL of my kids dress-up/halloween costumes a couple of weeks ago...just a bag in the garage...must be garbage.

my bag full of dress up clothes going to Lauren almost ended up in the trash. I found the bag in the back of my car headed for the donation center and I was able to get it to Rachel just in time.
I know this is the last thing you want to hear, but I am jealous that he was cleaning the garage....they are all annoying, but at least he was cleaning!
