Day 351: 2-27-21 (Saturday)
My friend Lynnette's pop up bake shop happened this morning! Hot Blackberry Danishes!! Holy Moly they were good! That got our Saturday started off right. After that we had to do some "back-to-school" shopping for Ailey. She needed various school supplies.
After that it was a nice relaxing Saturday. We went for a walk at the park as a family. Tyler and I watched a couple of episodes of Men in Kilts. Tyler grilled. It was great!
Day 352: 2-28-21 (Sunday)
Today was a super busy Sunday! I attended two ward conferences. One I had to be there at 8:45 am. We did two sharing times with that ward's junior and senior primaries. I saw good friends and people that I have really missed!
The next ward conference was for my own ward. It was fun to sit with Ailey and Bryn and my presidency. I stayed after church for quite awhile visiting with friends! Both girls said when we got home, "It felt so good to be at church today!" Meaning it is feeling more normal and we are enjoying having the opportunity to spend time with friends.
We had a great Sunday dinner and Come Follow Me lesson. Kam posted an awesome new video and I love it.
A letter to Jesus:

On a very low and sad note....I got some absolutely terrible news today. A very dear friend of mine (my age) who I love and adore was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer. This was an absolute gut punch. This is a friend who took great care of me after my mom died and went out of her way to show me so much love and support. I'm in absolute shock.
Day 353: 3-1-21 (Monday)
It is now March. In 12 days it will be one year since this whole COVID nightmare began and we are still in quarantine. The good news is that Ailey FINALLY went back to school today.
With the kids back at school part-time; are we still considering ourselves in quarantine? Yes. Until Tyler has been vaccinated we remain very low-key in the world. His job is still saying that they don't want employees returning to work until July. I think they are hoping that most people will be vaccinated by then. Not if our idiotic governor has anything to do with it.
We talked to Kam today at 3pm and got to video chat for a big TEN MINUTES. Not cool. This new companion is so difficult. He demands that all communication has to be done before 5pm but 5pm Minnesota time is 3pm our time. So Reilly and Hunter don't get to participate and if Tyler wasn't working from home he wouldn't get to participate either. Plus... 10 minutes? Annoying. Yes...yes... I know that we are lucky to even get that time and that other parents only got to talk to their missionaries twice a year. Don't care. 10 minutes sucks.
Kameron said that they spend quite a bit of their time in St. Cloud, MN which he said looks just like North Spokane. He said that they will be driving down the road and it feels just like he is driving on North Division. He is enjoying the pine trees in his new area too. He loves the ward but not small town living! LOL.
Day 354: 3-2-21 (Tuesday)
Today it is sunny and over 50 degrees! I'm outside. Enough said.
Ailey had her first dance team performance. No parents and no spectators. They broadcasted the game online but not the half-time dance performance. Lame.
We finally had our elusive appointment with our ward's missionaries. LOL. It was fun. We have two cute Elders from Utah in our ward and they are very enthusiastic. They were very curious about all of the rules and regulations that Kam has in Minnesota. Kam's area is much stricter than here and his mission president is much more strict as well. He's new. The mission president here is definitely much more relaxed and has been serving a lot longer.
Day 355: 3-3-21 (Wednesday)
I think both of our girls are the happiest when it is a school day. The off days are weird. I don't know how productive they are but the on days are pretty great! I am also enjoying being home alone with Tyler during the day. Some how we get a lot more done! LOL. Now it will truly be glorious when they are ALL back at work and school and it's just me and Bev during the day. Ha ha!
Today we hit 63 degrees! HAPPINESS! It was definitely an outside day!
Tonight I got sucked into the HBO Allen vs. Farrow docuseries. Woody Allen is a freak.
