I had an awesome Saturday. I got a quick workout in the morning. Lily and I tidied the house, and Lydia and Mary each got a one hour music practice.
Then we ran errands as a family. There was a lot of shopping to do because of all the events we had to prepare for (Josh’s pot luck celebration, dinner with Jake Sunday, dinner with my mom Monday).
After errands, Lily, Georgia and I went to a temple sealing for our friends Josh and Katie Jackson. It was a beautiful ceremony and it was so nice to be a part of it. After the ceremony, we stopped by my friend Nick’s house to briefly visit him and help him with a situation he was having.
Then, at home, I helped with the kids, and I helped to clean while Lily prepared the shishkabob skewers for Josh and Katie’s post sealing party. After I grilled the skewers, I went to the party with the girls. Georgia had already headed over, and Lily stayed back (with her aching feet) to take care of Ammon and put Clarissa to sleep.
It was a fun party. I did not know many people, but the food was super good and I had a ton of fun with the music. There was a live band that was covering rock and hip-hop songs that I used to listen to as a kid. “I wish” by skeelo, “Regulators” by Warren G, “Gettin Jiggy Wit it” by Will Smith, “Walk This Way” by Aerosmith, “Ice Ice Baby” by Vanilla Ice all were on the list. The band was great, and even greater will all the dancing children in the pavilion. I just sat back and enjoyed watching the kids dance and especially enjoying watching my daughters dance. I joined in for the last song.
It was also really fun to watch Katie serenade Josh on the Ukulele with “I can’t help falling in love with you.”
