Congratulations, Amy and Jared!
Since she was my first teacher in Witch Falls, Amy will always be one of my favorites. Rowen and I loved getting to watch her marry Jared Spencer, but before I get to that part of today’s report; let’s go over the morning news.
We’ve had another hot, beautiful day. Ethan and Ehlana gave Rowen and I our wake-up call, and we started out our morning with a pair of diaper changes. Mom and Dad met us outside for Tai Chi, and then we had breakfast before Rowen and I needed to get ready for our ballgame and head over to the park.
We were playing against the Ridge River Gypsies, and they were the home team. Mom and Dad brought Ethan and Ehlana over to the park just before the game, and Aunt Leanne and Violet joined them shortly after the Gypsies started batting in the bottom of the first. Uncle Adam and Aunt Deborah were working at the clinic all morning; so they missed the game.
It was a really great game for our team, but not so much for the Gypsies. We kept a lead all through the game, and though we played the bottom of the sixth, the Gypsies weren’t able to score any runs to close the eight-run lead we’d built up by then. The thirteen-to-five win kept our Rovers firmly in first place in our division.
Rowen was working in the computer store after we went for ice cream at the Emporium with our team, and I worked until lunchtime in the back yard with Mom and Dad. We had lunch at around one, and then I got cleaned up and changed before meeting Rowen and going over to the church in time for the Amy and Jared’s ceremony. The church was about as full as it had been for Mom and Dad’s wedding. Amy hadn’t really been teaching for very long yet, but quite a few of her students were at the church too; though the only boys from her former students that had come were either there because of girlfriend pressure or their families had been invited to the wedding and reception. There was an open invitation to the ceremony, which is why Rowen and I were there for that, but after we’d congratulated Amy and Jared, we were free to go home, get changed, and spend the rest of the day playing, biking, and swimming.
While I’m thinking weddings, Grandpa Grant and Grandma Eleanor left for their honeymoon-archive trip today. Yes, it’s probably age discrimination, and not fair to them, but I’m going to continue not to think about them as newlyweds, or about how romantic their trip will be for them. Now that I think about it that way, while quite a few of the other girls in town are all warm and fuzzy about Amy and Jared, I really don’t want to think about one of my teachers like that either. Let’s just move along, shall we?
I should have mentioned that a campground cleanup was part of my morning yard work. Rowen and I played together until dark, and she had dinner with us, but she went home for the night after we went for one last swim in the river, and I came up to bed after spending a bit of time with Mom, Dad, Ethan, and Ehlana before the twins went to bed.
That pretty much covers everything, and I’m ready to get some sleep, so...
