ANOTHER Surprise visit from Emily

Emily's classes were canceled, so we snuck in another visit! She arrived on Monday and we surprised everyone! I thought it would be nice for her to be down here for Jonny's birthday, and she had had a rough weekend and wanted to come home. 

August 12, Monday

Emily's flight arrived at 11:30 AM today. I picked her up and we went to Panera. Then we went home and pretty soon it was time for Daniel to get home. He was pretty surprised to see her. We kept it a secret from everybody. 

They played backgammon and then Mario Kart together. Daniel left for swim practice. Jonny came home and was so happy to see her, as we expected. Surprisingly, when he was done hugging her, he came over to me and said, "more importantly." Meaning he was grateful to me for making it happen. That was so sweet. 

I finished the laundry and did a bunch of chores while Emily and Jonny played Rummikub and a trivia game on the PS5. I made chicken tenderloins and fries and zucchini for dinner. Daniel had gone to the Apple Store after practice and had to go back later to pick up his phone so Emily went with him. It was a good thing she went because they needed an adult to sign for it. They changed out the battery for him. I spent the rest of the night on a chat with Mint Mobile trying to get Jonny's phone number moved from Tracfone to Mint Mobile and then switching the phone. It was way more complicated than they made it sound. Eventually, I had to get off the chat so we could read scriptures. We read scriptures and prayer then Michael went to bed.  Emily and I watched AGT and then we got ready for bed.
