Home Again

Had such a great weekend in Ohio. The main attraction for the Oldest Boy was the Teen Prom that the church was holding. Since we keep the seventh-day Sabbath from Friday night sundown to Saturday night sundown, and since many (if not most) school dances are held on Friday nights, a lot of our teens don't get to go to many dances outside of church. And since our churches are rather small, we like to hold social activities (such as dances and camps) where they can hang out with likeminded teens from all over the region or even the country. Hence, the Teen Prom in Columbus, which was open to teens 12 and up.

Honestly, I took one look at all those gorgeous girls with their best dresses on and I thought, "What am I doing sending my son in there?!" : )

He had a great time and got to spend time with several friends. Sunday morning, there was a pool party in the same hotel. After that was over, we drove to our house in Cincinnati and spent a couple of hours doing small tasks around the house (putting in a shower rod, pulling nails and screws out of walls, helping the Youngest do some planting he's been looking forward to). Sunday evening was the Ambassador Bible Center charity auction and talent show, which was such a hoot--and raised a lot of money to help fund education for children in Zimbabwe, which was the whole point.

All in all, a great weekend...but I'll tell you what, this staying-up-until-all-hours is taking its toll this morning. I'm exhausted!
