The girls begged to stay out late last night. I told them it was daylight saving and that they'd probably have a hard time getting up. They promised they wouldn't. We let Mel and Christian take Corey's car last night when they headed back to Lehi, cause Christian's car was having some issue and needed to be towed - so in addition to time feeling earlier cause of daylight savings, we would also need to walk to church (I'd rather do that than take two trips). Well, I told them to please be home at midnight, but then Corey and I went to bed and let them be the deciders of their own bedtime/fate. Abi got home at midnight. LSN were all at Jane's house watching a movie. Sophi and Natalie said they got back around 12:20, and Lily at 12:40 or something. They all woke up ok this morning when I went to tell them it was time to rise and shine, except Lily, who was already up on her own AND had made breakfast for everyone!
THIS is how you brown-nose your parents. I walked to church with Lily, Peter, and Katharine, and got a text from Corey telling me "Thank you!" for the breakfast. I showed it to Lily and thanked her for making me look good (he prob knew it wasn't me). I told him later that it was Lily. Sophi and Natalie got a brief lecture from Corey for us not being able to trust them with their excuse "we lost track of time" and Lily was forgiven cause she really stepped it up. If they want more freedom, they need to do some more work around here, so maybe this will be a good thing if they help out more. I enjoyed walking to church. Took a photo of our chapel steeple with the mountains in the background.
Rumor has it that, since our stake has less people than in the past (hence the combing of wards last fall from 7 wards to 5 wards in our stake) and because our building is so old, they are getting rid of it and we will be moving to a new chapel this summer, prob the one of Mt. Jordan Road where we hosted Ethan and Bella's wedding dinner. It will be ok, but I am sad and will miss the granite. I'm need to take a few more photos of it. In church today, Bro Sonntag said he sees pictures in the Granite of the plan of salvation - the premortal life on the left, mortal life in the middle, and judgement day/exaltation in the north/right wall of Granite. I mean to take pics of it today so I could study it and see what I could see. It's kinda like an ink blot test!
I took a nap today, and when I woke up Mel and Christian and Ethan and Bella and Alvie were all here visiting with Corey in our room. M&C came to return Corey's car, and E&B were stopping by on their way back to Provo after spending the night downtown for their anniversary. Two years - crazy.
I wanted to watch Nuremborg today and rented it on youtube, but then the teens all vetoed it, so we just went to bed early. We'll watch it next week.
