I'll be honest. Right now is 6 months after these photos were taken and seeing them makes me emotional. And that really surprises me. It's like I almost forgot what normal life was like even though we are sort of normal now. Who knew going to church and school was such a blessing? You don't think about it when you always go. Who knew being around people! Your family! Was such a gift! And then one day it's gone. So I'm spitting up March into two different posts. The normal march and the Covid March. Because they are two very different things. First the normal March:
Mad I was taking a photo of them clearing off my driveway so we could go to church.
Blizzard Basketball
Big boys both getting back to school shots.
Bishop fireside.
I've been feeling for years I needed to attend the temple more. When I was with my Grandma at the hospital I was talking to my aunt and cousin about doing a Jenkins girls temple night. And these two were the only ones able to come. Natalie (my cousin) and Kate (my cousins wife). And thank goodness we did. I think about a week after this they closed the temples down. I've needed the peace I felt there so much!
A few days before this I made Bryan take me to Walmart to grab some Clorox wipes and a couple of other things. I use these things all the time to clean up after my boys. But Walmart was almost totally out! I was able to grab a couple things then grabbed a extra just in case.
I better explain just in case. In the winter before this a virus was in China called covid 19 or corona virus. They closed down the whole country and it was only a matter of time before it got out. At the time I honestly didn't think much of it. Stuff like this had happened before and our life didn't change at all. But as things got closer to our shut down the stores started to be depleted of things. 6 months later I still can't find Clorox wipes! 6 months are you kidding me? Anyway-
So back to the photo- Walmart was also almost all the way out of soap, toilet paper and hand sanitizer. My friend posted about needing some Clorox wipes so I sent her this photo of Maceys the next Monday. Honestly I haven't seen the shelf with a single can since then.
In the middle of March my grandma moved over to her assisted living facility. She has some issues that need a nurse to help her so she had to go there. My aunts and mom set up her room with her bed, couch and photos. I was there the day she saw it.
I'm so grateful we were able to get her settled. I went and saw her a few days later when East was at preschool and it was the last time I was able to give her a real hug. She is still in her same room but we are no longer allowed to go on to see her because of Covid. That day when I picked Easton up we found out they were no longer going to be going to school for awhile because USU was closing in person classes and went online. Which meant no more preschool for east.
My boys all had Friday off of school for a teacher inservice day. It was the same day my nephew Luke and Jake and niece Abby was going to Beaver Mountain for school so I took the boys up skiing.
IT was their last ski day. Little did we know. We found a bubbas burgers from Kauai sticker at Beaver mountain so the boys got a photo of it.
And thus ended normal life in 2020. Buckle up.
