Naomi, Ethan, Ehlana, and Aiden:
I’m taking over this journal for the night! Ehlana’s doing a good job, but should get a break now and then; and I’m the perfect best friend to help her out with that!
While the top news story around the country is the hurricane that has blasted up into Florida and beyond through the Gulf of Mexico today and making a major mess; I think that our co-ed teen time is more-important to write about in this journal! Yes, Ehlana, I’ll mention that the family charities are in action and helping out with the worst-hit areas and will continue to do that as the storm dumps a mess everywhere in the south-east. Helene has been the largest storm to hit our country so far this year; and maybe it’ll be the last – though it is a bit early in the season to hope for that to happen.
Here at home, Aiden’s Mom and Dad loved their anniversary dinner party at the Inn; they headed to the airport from there; and took a late flight to their California vacation destination while Aiden and I went home with Ehlana and Ethan for the rest of the night. Aiden will be staying there while his parents are away; Hailey is doing the same with Leah; and I’ll take advantage of the extra co-ed opportunities for as many sleepovers as I can get away with over the eight nights that Aiden’s parents will be away! Last night, while the party was the entertainment highlight, we also did a group Magi lesson with my future mother-in-law; Aiden and I helped with some charity prep work for that hurricane relief effort; and then we stayed up too-late for a school night while having some music fun, watching a movie, and enjoying the mid-week co-ed cuddle opportunity. We did eventually get around to the co-ed sofa sleepover nap time; and then mo0rning came a bit early and required some Magi powered fatigue healing.
Tai Chi was by the river, and we had the added bonus when Sophia joined us for the workout; breakfast was standard school day fare; and then the boys were off to the school for their weight training while Ehlana and I had extra time for looking our best before we eventually headed out too. Our academic adventures were better with some bonus outdoor time that most teachers were interested in for their students; and then I had my cheer squad practice while Aiden went with Ethan and Ehlana to the lab for some play-work. Aiden stayed with Ehlana for that and was also a blood donor volunteer as well as a lab helper, but since Ehlana writes about her lab fairly-often; I’ll give you an inside scoop on my cheer squad!
I am trying to be as-good as Cassie and Rowen were, and that includes helping out with new cheer routines. Ehlana helps me out with that – and with choosing the music; Samantha and I practice the routines that we then share with our squad and captain; and we’re trying to use at least some newer music – though we also need to keep in mind that older spectators at the games also love classic and well-known songs better than the songs that their kids and grandkids prefer! We are doing something right, since we’re getting a lot of praise at the games, and while I’m having fun; I am looking forward to having Ehlana and maybe Sophia join the squad with me next year! Let’s also add for the record that I will only be cheering for the football team; and will leave it to others to join the squads that will be doing the indoor court sports like basketball.
We eventually met up again here in time for dinner, and I was early-enough to help with the cooking; that meal was a blast of fun; and then we moved on to game night at the Inn. The entertainment highlight of our day included another junior title for Ehlana and Aiden, and I’m still trying to decide how I feel about getting compared to Miranda for game night losses that might be related to having too much fun with our respective, favorite guys. I really like to win, but it also is a great compliment to be compared to one of the happiest couples we know! That little story might work better if another of those happiest couples hadn’t also won the senior title, but Cassie and Michael also haven’t won in a while; so they were overdue.
We had another group Magi lesson after getting home from the Inn; the adults in the house did more work in the office after we came upstairs; and Ehlana and I took turns with Jacuzzi time while the boys opted for showers and some video gaming while waiting for us to join them for a movie, chat, cuddle time, and the bedtime computing that includes this journal update. It is going to be another late night, but that’ll likely be the case for most nights through to next Thursday. We have football tomorrow night; birthday parties on Saturday and Sunday; and then we’ll be getting even busier next week as we head into October. I’d suggest that Ethan should organize a daily update from all of the Magi, but that would be a lot of reading; and not really all that useful for future Magi when studying our writings will be more about history than keeping up with current events.
I want to get back to cuddling with Ethan, but Ehlana wants me to include a world news update; so here it goes. Most of our world leaders are horrible; we wish that we could stop all wars and keep them from ever happening again; and political theatre should be illegal! Immigration problems around the world could be solved by making life livable in every country so most people wouldn’t want to leave their homes at all; and economic issues could be solved by eliminating greed and narcissism from the business equation.
Problems solved – you’re welcome! ;^)
I have some quality cuddling to get to now with Ethan; so that’s all for this report.
Until next time, live with love, fellow Magi of the Light!
