Pioneer Day

This is my first 24th of July in Idaho. It's not like in Utah where it's treated like a bigger and better 4th of July. When I was little, it was essentially celebrated the same way as the 4th with barbecues, fireworks, and parades. We would always have a barbecue and do fireworks at Grandpa Norregard's house and the Albanos were usually in town. I do not know what Wesley and I are doing for it today but they might mention the pioneers at church.

First Niece

Wesley and I got the news while we were battling Covid last Sunday that his brother and sister-in-law got chosen to adopt a baby girl. Her name is Harper and she is so cute. She's such a miracle to the family and I am so excited to have my first niece!

Covid Positive

After 2.5 years into the pandemic, I finally got Covid. After years of anxiety over catching it, I didn't panic as much as I thought I would. Wesley also had it. Luckily our symptoms were very mild and both of us are mostly recovered 10 days later. Here is a day-by-day timeline of my symptoms: 7/5: Phlegm and frog in throat 7/6: Fatigue, chills, fever, stuffy nose 7/7: Cough and stuffy nose 7/8: Cough and stuffy nose 7/9: Decreased sense of smell and taste, tested positive this day 7/10: Stuffy nose and cough gone by the evening 7/11-7/13: Decreased smell and taste 7/14: Smell and taste mostly back

4th of July 2022 in Utah

Wesley and I are spending this 4th of July weekend in Utah. Yesterday we got to pick up my wedding dress and see the seamstress. It was beautiful, especially with the blush pink. We also got to spend time with my parents and the Turleys. It was so nice getting to spend time with my adorable nephews, Davie and Henry. We might try to see some fireworks tonight or tomorrow and we're driving back to Boise tomorrow.
