It has been an embarrassingly long time since I made a post. I have now a new plan of attack for writing posts. During my lunch break I will write a post without pictures. I will then email them to myself as I have no internet access at work. After that I can insert photos and do some final tweaking. We’ll see how this goes. It’s a work in progress!
So the world has completely changed since I last made a post almost 6 weeks ago! We are now all in the midst of the pandemic with most of life on pause. As of this writing, the state of Indiana has ordered all “non-essential” things to cease for two weeks. While my employer is not essential, we do fall under the exempt category. So I’m still going to work every day. There are noticeable changes at the office/shop. All for keeping people as safe as possible while working.
What have we been up to these last several weeks?
Before the chaos began:
Connor started track practice. He’s getting braces.
Nolan finished the required hours for his driving permit. He asked a gal to the prom.
The boys just finished the 3rd quarter of the school year.
Their grades were awesome!
We spontaneously bought 3 ducklings even though we ordered some.
(Shocking, I know.)
I finally finished the top for Nolan’s graduation quilt.
(I'll make a quilt post soon!)
After the world went crazy:
The boys’ school is closed until May st.
No track.
Don’t know about prom, senior awards night, or graduation...
or even when or if school starts back up. They have had a few days of e-learning.
The BMV is closed so Nolan can’t get his license.
Dwayne is still working but only going in for a few days and working from home the others.
I have ordered the things I needed to finish Nolan’s quilt backing.
I think I ordered them just in time as some of the online quilt shops are starting to close their warehouses!
It’s hard to plan for the future when the future is so uncertain. So many questions. Do we change our already planned St. Louis trip? What about school and graduation? What about the graduation open house? How do we help Nolan sign up for fall classes when this year is so messed up? Why did people go nuts and buy all the toilet paper!?
We’re not worried. The boys are fine and they’re not worried either. (I think the years of homeshooling has helped them adjust to the school being closed.)
Certain things we do know:
The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever.
Isaiah 40:8
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Hebrews 13:8
On Christ the solid rock we stand!
