My friend Sam and her mom Cindy threw me a baby shower a couple weekends ago. It was sooo fun and so sweet of them. My sisters and mom strung a serious string of lies making me think only my mom was coming in for the day, but then out came Jyl, Madi, Mandy, and baby Luke to surprise me! It was so fun and relaxing that we really didn't take any pictures, but trust me-- it was a good time with some seriously good company!! Thanks Workman Girls!!! ;)
Today was my last day of teaching! I can't believe how fast the year at Mt. Loafer went! It was definitely bitter-sweet. I'm excited for the summer and fun things to come, but it was hard leaving the classroom and not really knowing when I'd be back in the teaching thing. My experience at Mt. Loafer Elementary was more than I could ever ask for. Mostly I have Nicole to thank for that. Thank you Nicole for all you taught me, all your patience, all your support and kindness, and mostly for the friendship we were able to develop over the past school year. I hope it lasts for many many more years to come!
Here's some pics from our class end-of-the-year-luau:
We also were able to go home for mothers day and Luke's baby blessing. It was so fun to be with fam and get a break from the daily grind for a few days!
We also were so grateful to have Andrew's fam in town last week for his grandma's 90th birthday party. It's always a good time when you get the 4 Ellis boys together and we loved having the chance to catch up with his family in person! The El Paso'ans and the Virginians are too far away! Andrew's aunt Mo who's husband is currently stationed in Germany even made it for the party! It was great to see, and meet! lots of Andrew's fam we don't get to see often! The boys were cute and gave a tribute to Grandma by singing "When you Wish Upon a Star." Chris and Mike were on the guitars and Andrew even graced up with a sweet Harmonica solo in the middle! Yet again-- it was too fun to take any pictures, but here's a few:
Last but certainly not least, I will be 34 weeks tomorrow which is just crazy!! I can't believe how fast the time has flown by. Needless to say I was very paranoid about going early or being on bed rest early with my risks so I pretty much am all ready to go. Now that I'm prepared of course I'll make it all the way, but I guess being over prepared is a good problem to have. Everything is going really good! At the very moment, I think he may be trying to break free via the side of my stomach but I'm VERY glad he's busy and active in there! I've been super super excited this whole time, but the nervous bug has definitely hit me the last couple days. Not just about the birth part of it, but about all the changes and hoping I'm cut out for all the work it'll be and the responsibility I'll hold! Andrew is awesome and always tries to comfort me, but all you mothers out there know what I'm talking about! I guess it's too late to do anything about it-- I wouldn't change it for the world even if I could, so I better buck up!

Haley you are so sweet! I had such a great year at Mt. Loafer because of you. I am so glad we have had the opportunity to work together this past year and for the friendship that we have made. It's had been awesome! Now we've just got to play a bit more this summer before the babies come.
