Steven's hit the ground running with his students this week now that spring break is over. Lots of conference calls with his students and other staff daily for him on top of his usual lesson planning/assigning. I'm still working from home too. It's actually been quite nice. The dogs really enjoy having us home all the time as well. I take lots of pictures of them lounging around in the home office with me while I'm working.
We did go to the LDS farms in the area and help with a potato boxing assignment that was given to our stake. We figured there weren't going to be too many people eager to go out and help during this pandemic (but the church welfare services are needed now more than ever) so we decided to put on our face masks and gloves and go. It was nice to get out for a bit and to see a few other familiar faces from our ward. The church has doubled their orders for this month if that gives you a reference on how much this service is needed right now.
Last Friday night we had a date night with some friends via video conference call. We did a murder mystery party together which was pretty fun! It was good to get to chat with everyone too and see how they are all doing.
This morning when we woke up we discovered about 2-3 inches of snow on the ground. Ugh. We are so ready for warmer weather to actually be here to stay. When I got Steven up this morning I opened the window to show him (without saying anything). He grunted, turned around, and climbed right back into bed and threw the covers over his head and said, "I'll get up when it's summertime." That's about how I feel about it too. With everything being cancelled and the virus and the 2 (yes TWO) earthquakes that have happened in our area over the last week, we just want to at least go outside and enjoy the warm sunshine... Is that too much to ask for?
On a happier note, we are all healthy and enjoying this time of slowing down and being at home.
