Our two April trips, first to Mexico City for Luke's wedding, and second, our trip to London to visit Chelsea, both have been cancelled a couple of weeks ago. No traveling for us like we had been planning for so long. Big bummer for sure. But then Chelsea and Spencer decided to hurry and pack up their belongings and high-tail it out of the UK. They were able to get a flight booked, and thankfully it didn't get cancelled. They are now living in our house until Spencer's job starts in July at Whirlpool in Michigan. Since they were traveling internationally and passing through major airports, we felt it best to have them quarantine in our basement for two weeks. It was really hard to do that. We wanted to interact with them. We didn't like not being able to hug them and to wipe down things like door knobs that they had touched. I would text Chelsea and ask what food they would like, and I would make it for them and deliver it to the landing of the stairs. Well, that lasted three days.
After praying about it, we felt okay about allowing them to be upstairs with us, and that feels so much better. We all are keeping things clean and washing our hands. I've been to the grocery store several times, but other than that and some walks around the neighborhood, we have all stayed home for days and days. Matt comes home from work and strips off his germy clothes and takes a shower. So far, we are all healthy! The other wonderful thing about the quarantine is having Emma home from BYU. She, also, is having to finish the semester online which is not an easy thing. It's hard for her to not have the lifestyle that she has so much loved these last seven months. She misses her roommates and boyfriend so much. But we feel so much more at peace having her safely nested in our home. God is working his miracles in bringing so many people to their homes to hear His voice at General Conference this coming weekend. We can't wait!
Our ever creative Emma designed her very own PPE (personal protective equipment) so she could go down to Provo to visit her friends. In the end, she decided to just wear a N95 face mask.
Here we are having "home church" and singing a hymn. It's been really wonderful to be able to partake of the sacrament in our home. Look at little Piper with her arms folded.
Some more funnies...
