Happy 16th Birthday, Luke!
I haven’t mentioned Luke much in my
journal, but he was on the football team with Michael and Tim; is dating
Denise; and occasionally hangs out with our gang at school when he and Denise
aren’t with his usual group of friends.
Michael and I were invited to his birthday dinner party at the Inn, but
we were too busy helping out in the kitchen to attend. Rowen and Tim were there, and so were most of
the other football players; which was probably very scary for Miranda and Jacob
at an all-you-can-eat buffet! ;^)
They had fun, but I’m going to keep this
update short because I’m exhausted.
We had a very busy, fun morning with four
teens and eight kids to feed and get ready for church, but Rowen and I hadn’t
worried about that pesky little time change when staying up too late; so we
were tired after only having a nap once we did get to sleep. We did get all of the work done and were at
church on time; but it was all we could do to stay awake during the service and
Sunday school. It was easier to do that
while helping out at the Inn, and I did that all day except for our breaks; and
Michael and I spent most of that time on homework and studying for our last
batch of tests coming up over the next few days at school
The dining room at the Inn was packed for
lunch and both buffets; and we were kept busy straight through until closing –
and I stayed until Michael and Rebecca went home with their parents. Thanks again to the time change, that felt
earlier than usual, and since Dad was still working in the office to get ready
for his week in the city; Mom did my Magi lesson with me while Ethan and Ehlana
kept doing some studying for their college classes. I helped with getting them tucked into bed
after that; and then came up to my room to get my must-do family business work
finished while cuddling in bed with Mandy.
That’s done now, and ditto that for this
report; so I’m off to sleep now, and, until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
