Robert started breaking out in hives on his face the day before Prom. Thank heavens for Zyrtec as it controlled it and he was going to freak out if he had hives on his face. Well, little did he know that hives would have been mild compared to road burn. You, guessed it. After being grounded for 2 weeks the freedom was a little more than he could handle and he went a little wild. He was riding a small motorcycle with a bicycle helmet when he wiped out. One side of his face, his ear, and his shoulder and arm took all his weight. This happened right before he had to go pick up his date for the Fri. night festivities. All in all he handled it fine and his friends helped him think it was cool and to not try and hide it in the pictures. Our camera isn't working or I would post a picture. Who knows if he'll ever show me the professional pictures when he gets them.
Let's say he used his week-end to the full advantage and had fun, blowing off the few things he was supposed to do (like attendance school, church, dancing with me, and getting in at a decent time on Sun morning). We were beginning to think Satan might win about stopping Robert from getting his patriarchal blessing on Sunday but in the end he didn't! He received a wonderful blessing from our Patriarch Kyle Probst who doesn't know Robert at all but has been a lifetime friend of the Remunds and we kind of named Kyle after him. He has been a patriarch so long that Robert was his 1,562nd blessing! Bro. Probst took a long time talking to us before the blessing and Lynn mentioned that my dad was a patriarch. After the blessing Bro. Probst said that he felt my dad was able to help with that blessing. I won't say much about the blessing but I do have to say that apparently Robert fought hard for the principle of agency before he came here and he is still fighting for that principle today! That is a good thing as long as his energy is channelled in the right direction. It was neat for Robert to see that it wasn't Bro. Probst talking to him but someone who knows him better than Robert knows himself. It was a very neat experience and we are proud of Robert.
