I had a busy, busy day, being pretty officially back at work. Amanda has the rest of the week off. She could have gone to work to pick up a few extra hours, but she took her time so I could focus on work and not have to worry about Milly. In addition to that, what is the point of going in for one half-day when you’ve got a week of work to catch up on? She’d probably have spent most of her time there just getting oriented.
Despite the busy-ness I did go to lunch at the mall. We went a few minutes early and picked up my new replacement wedding ring. Amanda had “LOVE YOUR GIRLS” engraved on the inside of it, a reminder that it was also a Father’s Day present. It’s titanium and very lightweight. It also resembles Amanda’s wedding ring a bit.
We ate with Amanda’s grandparents and Michael, and Anna and Kirsten joined us a little later. Milly was excited to see everyone.
Hannah and Barry, on a side note, are both about to head out of town. Hannah’s going to Hatteras to go camping with some friends and Barry’s going to Costa Rica.
We went to a Night of Worship at Port City Community Church tonight. The band really brought it and the crowd was really into it. It was mostly music and singing, but there was also praying, a short message and communion. It was really a nice thing for the church to put on.
Michael and Jenn watched Milly while we were at the church. It started at 7:00 and we thought it would be done by about 8:00, so we let Milly go to Michael’s new apartment, but we ended up not getting out until almost 9:00, so it was a late night for the Bug.
Milly seemed to enjoy her time over there. Everything apparently went well except for when Milly, who likes to take things and put them into other things, thought it would be cool to put Michael’s mobile phone in his drink. Michael yelled, “No!” or something and Milly got upset and cried for a bit. His phone is fine though, so we thought it was pretty funny.
LeBron James is leaving the Cleveland Cavaliers and going to the Miami Heat with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh. He made a ginormous deal about his decision, and I don’t really care because I don’t watch the NBA, but it was all anyone was talking about for a bit today and ESPN had like a two hour special on it.
On the plus side, since those three players are pretty much maxing out the Heat’s salary cap, some people are speculating that Jon Scheyer might have a good shot at joining the team, since he’d be a rookie free agent (and therefore cheap, but filling a role). I hope it works out for him.
