Cassie's Journal - March 4, 2012

Yes, I’ve been slacking off on a couple of things, including my journal updates, but there really hasn’t been much to report about so far in March.

The only thing worth mentioning from Thursday and Friday is the charity work that Mom, Aunt Leanne, Miranda, and I all worked on to do what we could to help the relief efforts being sent to the states, cities, and towns hardest hit by the storms and tornados that have been sweeping through some of the mid-west states. We even skipped the movie part of our dinner and a movie on Friday night so we could work on that instead.

Rowen and I celebrated our first anniversary yesterday – the anniversary of our finding out about each other being Magi. We had a play afternoon; and a sleepover at her house. Patrick had Scott overnight too, but even their attempts to bug us were mostly just fun, and we definitely had one of those really great days.

Grandpa Grant and Eleanor Byrd got home from South America yesterday too, and they were the most popular couple at church today – especially since it was the first time that most of their friends and neighbors had to congratulate – or tease – them about their engagement. Mom had been getting regular updates during their trip, and Ethan, Ehlana, and I kept up with that, but it was definitely because of seeing them today that we ended up spending a lot of our afternoon future planning session talking about the archives, and working on that part of our plans. We had a few other details to work out too, but by the time we wrapped up so I could help Mom with making dinner, everything we needed to have done for what we’re thinking of as ‘phase one’ was ready to go.

Mom and I did another long Magi lesson after dinner while Dad played with the twins, and I’ve been multi-tasking my Jacuzzi and language and archive study time since helping with Ethan and Ehlana’s bath and bedtime routine. One of the other things that I’ve been slacking on has been keeping up with the entertainment updates, and while I am doing this journal entry tonight; it’s late, and I’m skipping that again. Hopefully, my reputation will survive the lack of knowledge of the most critical current events, but I’m just too tired to bother with the extra surfing. It’s definitely time to get some sleep, so...
