Ehlana's and Ethan's Journals - February 16, 2020


Ehlana:

Before I get to the news of the day; I should add a couple of comments about our adventures on Saturday that Ethan didn’t write about.

It’s no surprise that he didn’t include anything about the girls’ side of the shopping fun yesterday morning.  There was a Valentine’s Day sale still in progress on Saturday along with some winter clearance bargains; so we had fun and picked up some great deals too – including a couple of outfits and a pair of boots for me that I won’t grow into until next winter.  Small town shopping may seem a bit boring for our more-worldly cousins and friends, but Jaimie and Kaitlyn appreciate Abby’s taste in fashion; and haven’t really gotten into the really high-end fashion that their Mom prefers when she wants to look her very best.

Ethan also avoided mentioning the boys that spent some time with our cousins yesterday too, and while that wasn’t a surprise for Kaitlyn, since she keeps in touch with Jeremy Green, but Micah Byrd spent some time with Jaimie yesterday too – including during some of the biking and park time.  I’ll also suggest that some of the other guys their age may have gotten into some trouble with the local girls for noticing Jaimie and Kaitlyn a bit more than they should – especially today while we were all at church and Sunday school.  I don’t know if that’ll be true for Jeremy too, but there’s a good chance that Micah is one of those guys who are in trouble because the girl he went to the Valentine’s dance with did not look happy when I saw her after Sunday school.  Jeremy had a date for the dance too, but that was more of a going out with a best friend kind of thing.  He’d try dating Kaitlyn long-distance if she’d go for it, but while she doesn’t do that; she also doesn’t have any boyfriends back home either.

Okay, let’s move on to the news for today.

We had a busy morning here with all of the kids to get fed and ready for church.  Terry and Angela came over for breakfast; we had a fun vid-chat with Cassie and Michael during breakfast that allowed us to catch up on their weekend news; and then we walked to church because it was nice-enough to do that.

I’ll take the Cassie and Michael side-trip here.  Their Valentine’s Day news seemed a bit spotty and missing a lot of the story, but they had a special lunch with some friends; a smaller gang with them for dinner at their favorite Chinese restaurant; and then they went to a dance-party on-campus that Cassie and Michael actually managed to attend without any problems!  They had a chores-shopping morning on Saturday; a study afternoon; and then a Rec Center play evening after a fast food dinner.  Their plans for today included going to church; an afternoon study session; and then a quiet night at home – probably doing the same thing that they were busy with for all of those hours they didn’t include in the rest of their weekend update! ;^)

I don’t want to think about that sort of thing; so let’s move along and wrap this up.

After church, we went to the Inn for a family and friends lunch.  Dad, Terry, and Uncle Blaine had one last meeting for their galleria project after that, and while they were busy; we – the kids – went out for one more round of biking the trails at the park while the Moms and other parents and kids either spent time at our house or elsewhere for the afternoon.  The continuing warmer weather made that biking a lot of fun; so we were all in a great mood when it was time for our guests to head out and on their way back to their own homes.  We also had Valerie and Marcus ready for naps; so that worked out great for their parents too.  Kaitlyn had a bonus goodbye with Jeremy when they left; and that added a bit of extra entertainment for all of us – especially since they’re still having fun teasing Uncle Blaine.

They should likely stop that sooner instead of later; since there are a lot of payback opportunities available for their parents – not to mention the weird that goes along with thinking about what might have been if Uncle Blaine had ended up with Jeremy’s Mom instead of Aunt Alison!

Moving along – again, Ethan and I were put to work on some chores once our guests were gone; so Naomi and Aiden left then too – for the bakery or home.  After lunch at the Inn, we opted for an easy-dinner; and then our evening has been a standard work-study night as Dad got ready for his week in the city.  Mom used a time phase for that work, so it isn’t that late yet, but we’ll need to get up early; so I’m past-ready to crash and nap now.  That’s all I have for this report; so I’ll just end it here; and get to that sleeping part of my day.

This is Ehlana Proctor; live from the hidden home of the Magi of the Light!

Ethan:

I had the last update; you already know that Ehlana has this one well-covered – though she hasn’t written it yet; and I’ve had enough fun for today so I’ll leave that to her and call it a night.

May the Magi Force be with you!
