Day 381: 3-29-21 (Monday)
Today is Holy Monday. Jesus Cleansed the Temple.
Bryn only goes to school half day this entire week or should I say for the two days that she does go to school. It is Parent/Teacher Conference. Conferences will be held online this year. We heard that 5th and 6th graders *might* go back to school full-time in April. I sure hope so.
We were able to video chat with Kameron today for an hour. He's waiting to find out if he will be transferred. He is really hoping that his companion will be the one to go. They are teaching a lot of people right now that he would like to continue teaching.
I got the nicest surprise in the mail today. I got a very sweet and thoughtful card from Tyler's mom. She had written some very nice things that meant a great deal to me. I will save that card. It was unexpected and out of the blue and very special.
Tyler and I went shopping for Easter things for the kids. I discovered caffeinated sparkling water!
Game changer!
Day 382: 3-30-21 (Tuesday)
Today is Holy Tuesday.
It is sunny once again! Thank goodness! Not much to report today. Ailey scheduled her driving test.
There are a few more cases of COVID at the high school and a family in our ward has it. :(
I think that the next room in our house that we are tackling will be the bathroom. We need new flooring and a new vanity. Tyler and I went tonight to look around and see what's available. We found some great options.
Day 383: 3-31-21 (Wednesday)
Silent Wednesday. Kind of apropos that we are still waiting to hear if Kam is getting transferred.
Today is another half day for Bryn due to parent/teacher conferences. She is out at 1pm. I feel like we are barely in school as is...and with half days and Spring Break coming up... it feels like we are just getting further behind.
We got some great news! Kirk, Meki, and Kaiya all got their first doses of the vaccine. They got the Pfizer. Our Governor said today that everyone over the age of 16 can be vaccinated after April 15th. Meanwhile people in Tyler's category are STILL waiting. I talked to my friend Marianne today and she told me that she got the crazy COVID arm too! Luckily I had warned her about it!!
Reilly had a big scare today. Someone broke into their storage unit in their apartment complex and stole things. She thought she had lost the luggage that my mom gave her for her graduation and all of her special ornaments. She was sobbing. Tyler had her look around all the storage units and see if someone dumped them. She found her luggage crammed into a corner and she found all of her ornaments in a bin in her closet! THANK GOODNESS she never put them in the storage unit! It is sentimental things like these that matter!
Nightly chats with these two are never dull! It seems like every night we all end up piled on the bed talking and laughing. A gift from COVID quarantine for sure!
Tonight we also tried these. Weird and not in a good way. Well... two liked them and two of us did not.
Day 384: 4-1-21 (Thursday)
Today is Holy Thursday or Maundy Thursday.
We found out this morning that Kam is staying in Princeton and his companion got transferred. Sweet! Kam's new companion is from Rexburg, Idaho. We hurried and sent off his Easter care package to him and expressed it. We couldn't send it until we knew where he was going to be.
Tyler got contacted by WA State today to say that he FINALLY qualifies to receive the vaccine. What utter @#$% !!
Ailey danced at half-time at the football game tonight and they got new sparkly sequined outfits! Woohoo! Fancy!
Day 385: 4-2-21 (Friday)
Today is Good Friday.
Spring Break has officially begun for the Johnson girls. We aren't going anywhere since we aren't fully vaccinated yet. That will happen on Wednesday! So we are having a bit of a low-key Spring Break.
Tyler took the day off and ran the girls to CDA to get our favorite donuts early this morning! How's that for some festivity!! We got some for tomorrow morning too. We can eat them while we watch General Conference. I cannot wait for General Conference!
We went to the park as a family and brought Beverly. It felt great to be out in the sunshine. We had our parent/teacher conference with Bryn's teacher via a Teams video chat. Bryn is doing great and a pleasure to have in class. Great!
Tyler and I had a really fun date night! We had a lakeside picnic in CDA. We got the best Mexican food from a new-to-us place that we discovered on a bike ride then we split a shake from Roger's for our dessert. We had so much fun!
One thing that COVID has given us is a lot of outside dates and I love them! I am here for all the hikes, bike rides, walks, picnics, boating, exploring... I love it all!
