new normal

Mariah has graduated with the class of 2020.She has overcome many challenges this year, starting with a concusion car crash,  to mono, and surgury. I am so proud that she continued on and finished high school. we are now figuring out the new normal-- with so many changes in society now we are gradually figuring out what we can do. Utah is in Yellow now, which means we can swim, but who wants to use the public restrooms if someone isnt healthy?? and who is to judge?? I feel happy and healthier with more oportunities to be outside as the spring weather opens up to more hiking and biking and visiting. Soon we will be able to have larger crowds and return to some kind of church meetings. Right now 52 temples are open for marriage sealings only for  living ordinances.

so now Jim and I love biking to different temples, Here we are at the Payson temple.

Another way to keep active and explore is just North of us, hiking Dry canyon.

Nik is finding his own way of social distancing!!!

End of the school year here, Mariah has made it!!!

Here we are with Emily as we celebrate her prom in the new normal. Emily will continue to study this summer. We love being so close to Jan and Jarons family now that they have moved to Lehi,, and I have biked to and from their place now,,, 3 times, which means the whole Murdock trail. The ride is easy but it takes a few hours, It is just another way for me to enjoy this beautiful area and mediate and listen and solve questions with my life

. Things are getting easier, but as I contimplate the last 3 months with the pandemic I pray that I will remember the things that I needed to change to be  better, faithful person
