I realized I have been writing my entries a day behind, so I am going to change it up and just recap the day before.
Yesterday went really well. AE had no issues getting up and did everything he was supposed to do when he got home from school. I booked the campsite for this weekend as well as for the 20th. This weekend will just be local, but the trip on the 20th will take us out to West Texas.
In the evening, AJ was supposed to go to Bible study with the group in the neighborhood, and I planned to stay home with AE and play Xbox. AJ ended up coming back shortly after leaving, saying that Bible study is actually next week, not this one.
Around that time, I got a text from my buddy MH about meeting up to watch the first football game of the season: the Eagles vs. Cowboys. Since I am just now getting into football at age 50, I figured why not. So AJ and I met up with MH and SF (her nephew) to watch the game.
I watched a few games last year and plan on watching a lot more this year. Since most of what I have caught so far has been Eagles games, I guess that is the team I will lean toward. With AJ, AE, and I camping this weekend, we made plans to meet up with MH, and maybe SF, this evening to watch the Chiefs and Chargers game.
On a different note, I have also been writing letters to AJ. Sometimes it is easier for me to bring things up in writing because it gives me the chance to find the right words. These letters are raw and private, but I plan to include them here as part of this site. They are as much a part of our story as the trips and the daily entries.
