4/5 Raine’s Spring Fling dance at school

4/8 Total eclipse. We weren’t sure how much we would be able to see due to clouds, but fortunately, the clouds were pretty spotty where we were so we were able to see all of the different stages. Totality was beyond anything I expected. It wasn’t like a shadow, it was eerie, and all the street lights came on.

Carter stayed home from school but Raine went and watched the eclipse from the TCC campus. Fortunately someone took photos of her because I didn’t even think to take photos of us on the driveway watching it.

4/10 Youth temple trip

4/13 Raine went with Adam Sturgeon to his Keller High School Senior Prom. This was technically her first date, too. He had asked her to go to Mormon Prom back in March, but it was on a Friday night so she had a school soccer game and couldn’t go. She thought that was the end of it until he contacted her at about noon on Friday asking if she would go to his school prom with him. By some miracle, we found a dress and shoes Friday afternoon. And by some other miracle, we got her from sweaty soccer player to prom-ready in under two hours.

4/19 Raine found an injured bunny on her way to the bus stop. She wouldn’t leave it, so we had to take it to the animal hospital.
