First Evening

Amanda had a whirlwind day yesterday.  She spent the day preparing for a trip and then took that trip late in the evening.  Before she could travel she had to speak on a panel at our church's "Girls' Night Out."  The trip was to Blowing Rock.  I'd like to hear how the trip went, but I don't dare call her.  I suspect that she got in some time after midnight.  She is in Blowing Rock because a friend invited her to join a birthday celebration.  I expect her back late Sunday evening.

So while Amanda hangs out with her pals the kids and I are making the best of it here.  We had what is becoming our typical Friday night.  We went bowling, to Chick-Fil-A, to Marmalade Skies, to Play-N-Trade, and for something new we also went to Target to pick up a few things.  My plan is for today to be a mixture of fun and chores.  There are a couple of things I'd like to get done around the house as a surprise for Amanda when she gets back.  We'll see how it goes.
