Young Women's Theme
I went with Adrianne and the younger girls for our activity and we had fun learning the new Young Women's Theme by drawing pictures to go along with it.
Parent Teacher Conference
I saw this sign as parent teacher conference and thought it was cool. Little did I know that life was going to change a whole lot after this week.
Thing Get Weird
We went to the doctors office (March 13th) for a check up and people were stealing medical supplies because there was a virus outbreak from China that had made it's way to the US. As the week progressed we watched as they moved schools to online and closed non-essential businesses like the county libraries and beauty salons and anything else they deemed non-essential. Stores were unable to keep things like cleaners and toilet paper and water on the shelves. I had to meet a friend in Bluffdale to trade oatmeal for dry milk and found this sign at the park funny since it said no horses allowed on the grass. Life with this pandemic got really weird really fast.
The following week on the day we were supposed to be starting our homeschooling (March 18th) we were awakened by a magnitude 5.7 earthquake. After some false rumors about another quake coming I found myself quickly putting together some new 72 hour kits. The next day we spent at Grandma and Grandpa Kunz house to get a break from the earthquake tremors.
These signs gave me hope and peace and I decided to share a little hope and peace of my own with the kids help...
These were my chalk messages.
These were done by Cort and MakayLee.
We participated in a worldwide fast for a cure for Coronavirus and found a lot of comfort in scripture study. To get out of the house after home centered church we took the kids to find the graves of our ancestors close by. I made up my own meme about how I felt about this year as well.
Kent and I talked about taking a trip to enjoy and celebrate our anniversay. With all that was going on I am so glad that we were never able to make our plans work out. Being home with our family felt like the right place to be.
