Year 2, Week 43: A Very Different Mother's Day

Here we go. Another week down of the coronavirus. Best part of this week was that they announced the re-opening of a few things. Soon we will be able to go do a few things, which will be wonderful...I am very ready to go to a restaurant and do some shopping, it is definitely the little things in life. 

Monday and Tuesday were work days for me, of course, Jonathan worked too, but he has the evenings when he does so. Monday evening he went to game night and they played a few games, then Tuesday he worked on the table and played some video games. After my two long days in a row I am usually pretty tired, so I love getting home and hearing about all the fun stuff he has done. Usually we chat on the way home and then continue catching each other up when I get home and get ready for bed.

Wednesdays are always a little short, so I did quite a bit of sleeping, then woke up and ate some breakfast. While I was eating, Dad called me and asked me to go pick up the peeps for him...which I was more than willing to do! It was a loud trip back to the farm but I had a lot of fun getting them all settled...they were absolutely adorable. For dinner we had fajitas...which are absolutely delicious and I am pretty sure Jonathan has some magical way of making them more delicious every single time, it is incredible. Wednesdays are Masked Singer days...so we watched that before bed.

On Thursday I did everything that I couldn't get done Wednesday and I went over to Mom's for a wax and chatted with her for a little bit. For dinner, we had ham sandwiches and juicy noodles, then we had a meeting with our new financial advisors. It was a really good evening and we are enjoying getting everything in order. 

It was my weekend to work, so I was gone. Jonathan spent Friday working, then did dishes, watched some TV, played the Wii and chatted with his family. Saturday he made plans to surprise his mom for Mother's day while I worked. He practiced some guitar, ran and played the Wii some more. When I came home we went grocery shopping together which saved me a trip on Monday!

Sunday was a busy day. Jonathan took me to work, then went over to his parent's house for a lunch and played some games for Mother's day. When he left, he came and picked me up, then we went to pick dinner up and took it over to Mom and Dad's for the four of us plus Grandma and Grandpa! There was a big storm that rolled in and created a spectacular double rainbow - we could see both of them so clearly! The pictures don't do it justice, but they are the best we can do. It was a special Mother's day and we are blessed to have the moms we have in our lives. Strange times, but an awesome day regardless.

Since our trip to India couldn't happen, we are in the process of planning a vacation later in the year. Lots of big ideas, but still figuring out what we will really be doing - so stay tuned! Of course, with the whole world being closed until future notice, there are plenty of unknowns...so we have to wait a little while to see what happens! 

I hope you are all doing well and getting recharged while social distancing. Can't wait to see you all again soon.

Love,

Alli and Jonathan
