We were back at PORTA for the last regular season track meet. These seasons go so fast that I wouldn’t mind a couple more meets. Sectionals isn’t this week but is next week for the boys. Their 4×4 team still has not run the qualifying time but came within a second or so tonight and beat the favored home team in quite the upset. I actually felt bad for the other team’s anchor who stayed with our anchor the entire time until the final stretch. He gave it everything he had to stay with him.

Miles rode with us along with Elianna and our youngest. I walked from the bathroom to our room in a bathrobe and saw that he was outside the house by the raised beds. He was there in the morning to help Elianna in the camp kitchen. She was cooking lunch for a school group. I wish our house was cleaner but it was it is with him and our house I feel at this point. The other evening when Elianna was here for I asked if they had any kind of timeline they are talking about as far as marriage goes.

They’ve been together for over three years, and when you come from a family like ours, marriage when you’re 19 or 20 is just something you start to talk about. When it gets to be that long too you start to want to have some kind of assurance that they’re on some kind of path and my daughter isn’t wasting her time or life. I guess they have talked about it but are not necessarily in any rush. They had talked about this summer but married student housing has a waiting list two years long.
