Last evening we were invited over to hang out with some friends. The baseball coaches have become friends, and we all enjoy hanging out. We didn't stay out terribly late, and we were able to get a fairly decent night of sleep. Before we went, we even took Thomas to dinner as a reward for some hard school work he has accomplished. It was a very pleasant evening.
This morning we got to sleep in since Catherine didn't have to be at work until late morning. I had really, really wanted to go car shopping, which really needs to happen and we just don't have many opportunities to do so. However, Andrew had told Thomas he wanted to take him to a movie today, and I wasn't about to be the bad guy in that scenario. I got a few things done around the house while they were gone, and also received word that my second cousin Monica has become engaged. So very happy for her!
I've also been emotional today. In addition to being disappointed about the car shopping, This evening is prom, and although Catherine seems to be fine with not going, my heart still breaks a little about it all. I suspect part of it is my memories about never having a date through 3-1/2 years of high school. It just affected me today.
I had hoped we could do something fun as a family last evening after Catherine got off work, but since we decided to go out, I was hoping that we could do something fun tonight. Unfortunately, Andrew isn't feeling well at all, and has already gone to bed. He is supposed to be gone all day tomorrow at a fundraiser, and we hope he is able to do so. I just hate sitting around on a Saturday evening with each of us doing our own thing!
