Greg and I got our first COVID-19 vaccine shots today! We did a drive-through event and got the Pfizer one. It is so weird how happy we were to finally get this much-anticipated shot. I couldn’t help but feel some relief and hope. Like there’s finally a light at the end of this very-long isolated […]

Surprise Visit
Two of Adrianna’s friends biked over to our house after school for a surprise visit. She was still in her pajamas when they showed up! Haha! They actually had texted her to let her know of their plan, but she always forgets to check her messages, so that’s why their visit was a surprise! I […]
Quarantine Cuts
Bree and Cate decided they wanted me to cut their hair short (at Adrianna’s encouragement.) They both gave me input as to the lengths they wanted. And here is Adrianna’s cut from September 23rd.
Flu Shots
The girls had their first excursion to a store in SIX months! Adrianna went with Greg to get paint for her room, and then all three went to Target with me so that we could get our flu shots. Not even a bribe could entice Cate to sit still on her own for the shot. […]
School Board Meeting
Tonight I gave a quick speech at our county’s school board meeting in favor of a charter school seeking permission to open in our county that will serve middle and high school students with autism. It is definitely something that is greatly needed in our community and I was glad to show my support for […]
Grocery Trade
In today’s COVID-19 adventures, a neighbor and I did a grocery trade. The neighbor posted on Nextdoor that they’d received a substituted item that they didn’t want and couldn’t return – Caffeine-Free Diet Coke. We’ve been trying for WEEKS to get more Caffeine-Free Diet Coke but three different stores that we tried haven’t had it. […]
June 2020
I found these pools for free, which was awesome since I’ve been unable to purchase a small, plastic pool online for delivery or pickup, and I’ve been avoiding going into stores as much as possible. The girls are happy to have a way to play with water and cool off. We were excited to discover […]
Camping
We decided to get away from everything by going camping at Golden Gate Canyon State Park. We love this campsite! It is close to home, beautiful, and has flush toilets and dishwashing stations. And this year, it was a great place to get in nature while still practicing social-distancing! On our way out, we missed […]
Cohort
One of my favorite parts of our church is the small groups meetings I have with three friends, Kelly, Suzanne, and Lindsay. We typically have met a couple of times every month and discuss everything from what we’re studying in our “assigned” Bible reading, church, our families, and politics. It’s been such a blessing. But […]
Grieving for our country
My heart is grieving for our country. 100,000+ dead (and counting) from COVID-19. (Minorities being especially affected by high death tolls.) My heart is grieving for our brothers and sisters who’ve been crying out for justice for centuries, in a country built on the back of slavery, and continuing in unresolved issues involving both systemic […]
