Tammy fixed us a great breakfast of pancakes and bacon, then we all got ready and headed to church. We had a good service that morning and I really, really enjoyed the Sunday School class (Tammy taught the kids so I could be with the big people) and Brother Sam’s message. Good stuff.
After service we zoomed to Sonic to grab a Frito wrap (the best!), then headed off to Merkel. It didn’t take quite as long to get there this time—less than two and a half hours. We had a really good service there, too, and enjoyed our visit with the Lunas, as always. Sister Luna cooked the usual feast: monstrous pots of rice, beans, and brisket, then individual plates for each of us with 4 or 5 enchiladas on each one! Crazy!!! We did our best not to offend her (which requires clearing your plate—at least once! Ha!), and then headed off to our next traditional stop: K-Mart in Sweetwater. We have to go walk off some of the feast or we’d be miserable the whole way home. Sam & James both found a couple of shirts and some odds and ends at great prices, as we always do at this store—and Tammy got a corduroy skirt for $1, if you can believe that! We picked up a raspberry lemonade at Schlotzky’s (our final tradition) and headed back to Andrews.
Tammy and I tried to doze a little bit on the way home in hopes it would give us some extra energy upon our arrival so we could stay up and play games or something. But by the time we made it home at nearly midnight we were all zapped and just crashed immediately! ~sigh~ So much for acting 18, hu, Tammy?! Ha! Although...

Tammy had me take this online "test" while I was there to determine my "real" age based on my health and eating and exercise habits and all that. Tammy tests right at her actual age, but I tested 2.7 years younger than my actual age. Ha! Gotta love that! I told her that I KNOW James would test much older than his actual age, so I really kind of did marry an older guy. It was always my plan to marry a guy 4 years older than me, you know. I wonder if God chuckles at such things, knowing all the while he had me scheduled to marry a guy two years younger--I missed it by six whole years! Anyway, despite my graying hair, the rest of me is only 27 years old. :-)
