Yep still April and yep, still quarantined...

We have settled into a smooth routine here.  We are heading into our 6th week of quarantine.  Isn't it crazy?  Part of my routine is watching the governors daily press conference at 11 every day to update us on cases ane new closings.  Yesterday was our highest day at over 600 new cases.  So, as you can guess, Bob and I don't go anywhere.  But there is still a  ton going on!  Here is our top 10 for the week!

1.  The biggest and most important thing is that I FINALLY finished my book order for Boulder Peak, my new school.  I am still blown away by how long it took!  Here is what I posted:
           Question: How long does it take to create a brand new library of books from scratch? The answer is waaaaay over 100 hours!!!!! I'm not sure if I should laugh, cry, jump for joy? It has been grueling yet beautiful, exhausting yet fulfilling. I am not sure my new students at my new school will understand the depth and time commitment I put into this, but I can literally say I picked out EVERY.SINGLE.BOOK. And its a spectacular collection!!! #cantmovemyarmwristorhand #howwoulddoitwithoutthevirus?

2.  We have loved being in touch with family more!

3. Exciting News!  Alayna is moving to an apartment in Provo to live with her cousin Emily for a few months.  She wants to get a job and make money for college (as she originally planned at Kaylas) but with this virus still spreading and a new baby coming, she can't get a job and risk bringing that back to the baby.  Her cousin Emily also graduated early and moved to Provo and had space in her apartment so this works out perfect!!!

4. Even MORE exciting news:  We have really been struggling to find a safe way to travel to Utah and make sure we dont contract or carry the virus and bring it to Kaylas house.  After going back and forth and struggling to come up with a plan, we finally found one that will work!!!  So, this Friday, May 1, Bob and I are going to take the Amtrak Train from Mount Pleasant to Provo.  We got a bedroom on the train with its own view and private bathroom. So, we can suit up and stay in our room the whole time and then get straight to Kayla's house with minimum chance of germage.  We will get there late Saturday night.  We will stay until May 15thish? Then we will fly home (with our protective gear).  It's a weird world we live in now...

5. We celebrated our 27th anniversary in quarantine!  We had a nice quiet dinner at home.  Outback Steakhouse delivered our dinner and my friend made us this amazing Lemon Ice Box Pie!

6.  Marisa and Anthony went by their new house and people were actually working on it!  It was exciting for us to see it coming along!  They are both working from home and Anthony's brother arrived home safely from his mission!

7.  Kayla and Brandon have been busy too.  Lots of big projects at their house! Sanded and repainted their dining table and chairs!  Brandon is also working from home.  Baby will be induced May 6th if he doesn't come before then.  I know Kayla is ready for him to come today! lol

 8.  Bob and I went through all of our food supply and 72 hour kits.  We harvested aloe from our aloe plant and even ground wheat to make wheat bread from scratch.  Look at us being all domestic and survivalist- haha!

9.  Look at these adorable pics!

10.  We are all happy, healthy, and safe!  These days that means alot.  We are so excited for our travel this week and the new addition coming to our family.  We promise to skye with great grandparents while we are there so we can chat and you can see the new baby live.
