To say things have been "OK" around here would be completely untrue. The last few days we have seen a shift in our country and in our state. Things have gone from bad to worse. Covid-19 is now at an all time high in the US. Our New Mexico state governor has locked us back down all the way to phase one again. So everything will be closed on Monday. Of course. Just when we finally feel some semblance of normalcy in our lives it is all taken away.
We decided not to go to nationals this year. All along I was planning on taking Nolen to nationals and now it just doesn't even seem financially responsible to take him. Stephen mentioned his truck is starting to make a funny noise so we need to have his truck fixed. He also mentioned President Trump hasn't signed the new budget for 2021 so we may not get a pay check passed December 11th of this year, just like 2019. Yuck! Seriously!
So in the world of bad news, that's it. In the world of good news, I have plenty. Nolen has been running his absolute best lately. He has been hitting PR's and pushing himself faster and farther than he ever has before. He is amazing.
Edward has been doing so great at swim team this season. It just got cancelled for the rest of November and who knows if it will be back in December. Probably not. I will remain hopeful but it isn't looking positive.
Tomorrow is Nolen's birthday party. He turns 10 on Sunday!! My sweet little Nolen is growing up. I am now on the loosing end of time. 6 years left with Edward and 8 years left with Nolen. Slow down, time!
My parents are doing amazing and have helped me with a lot of stuff around the house. I think they are still really sad they are not at their home in Arizona. They miss it. I will be devostated when the move home, but I know it is inevitable.
I'll leave you with a message of hope. I hope things get better once they release the vaccine. I hope we don't get covid-19 and we are spared the awfulness of the virus. I hope we find peace in our lives.
