It’s been a long, busy day, and I need to
be up early to help with the start to Dad’s birthday; so let’s keep this report
fairly short.
We’ve had another really nice weather day;
but I’ve been indoors for most of the day; so I didn’t get to enjoy much of the
warmth and sunshine. Tai Chi by the
river was nice; we were outdoors for our noon cheerleading practice; and I was
outside to walk between home, school, and the church as needed – though I also
needed to hurry to get to each place on time – and two out of three of my
practices were longer than usual.
While cheerleading practice took up most of
my lunch break, our band practice included the additional once-through for our
Christmas songs for the upcoming parade and concert events we’ll be helping
with during the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Rowen and I weren’t finished with our band
practice until Michael and Tim were finished with football; so Michael and I
needed to hurry back to my house to have dinner. We had that meal in the sunroom; cleaned up;
and then we were on the run again – this time to the church for our Teen Praise
Team practice.
The news of the day there is that we
started work on the teen Christmas show, and this year; we’re doing a Christmas
musical called Bethlehem’s Big Night.
While most of the casting still needs to be done for the parts in the
show; Michael and I have been told that we’ll be playing Joseph and Mary; and
we’ll be performing a couple of duets and other lead songs. I know we’re just days past Halloween, but we
don’t have that long to learn an entire musical; and that doesn’t include the
music we’ll be learning for the regular Sunday and Christmas Eve services. We really do have a lot of music to learn;
which is why our practice tonight went for nearly two hours.
Michael and I still needed to do our
homework after that, so he came home with me again; we did that work; and then
had a very minor make-out session before heading downstairs so that I could see
him out after a short chat with Mom, Dad, and the twins in the office.
My Magi lesson came after that; I took care
of getting Ehlana and Ethan tucked in for the night; and then it was time to
climb into bed with Mandy and get to work on my studies and family business
work. That was more than two hours ago,
and while I could do more, I’ve had enough fun for today; and don’t want to be
too tired to have fun with Dad and the rest of our friends and family on his
big day.
That’s the main reason I’m going to wrap
this up right there and head off to dreamland now; so, until next time...
...May the Magi Force be with you!
