#1-- I graduated! Mom and Dad came out and suprised me by bringing Jyl and Gregg with them too!! It was sooo fun to have them here for the festivities. When you graduate from BYU, your commencement is more like general conference than a graduation-- Pres. Uchtdorf and Elder Nelsom gave some amazing, uplifting and beautiful talks... a great end to some seriously great years at the Y.
#2- Dad headed home Tuesday, but Mom stayed and was soooo sweet to invite me to Women's Conference with her and her PLC Women's Retreat. Not only was it so fun to play in the afternoon and evenings with her and these amazing women, but it was so spiritually uplifting. We enjoyed afternoons of great classes, a tour of the Garden's at Thanksgiving Point with the woman who started them, amazing evening activities with the PLC Women up at Sundance and outstanding lodging in Karen Ashton's Cabin (far more like a lodge) for the latter half of the week. The spirit was overwhelming at all of these events and I was soooo grateful to share them with my mom! Friday night, Anne-Marie Hildebrandt came to give us a private concert. Part of the time she did this hymn-lounge where she just improvised on hymns for like 7 or 8 minutes straight. Seriously Amazing! I'm not sure there was a dry eye in the place! The whole end of the week was just breathtaking. Thanks mom for letting me be part of your PLC retreat!! We were having so much fun we didn't even take any pictures!
#3- I hit 30 weeks on Saturday and I'm really feeling great! The time is going by soooo fast. 10 weeks isn't that long, plus I have to keep reminding myself that 10 weeks is max. With my risks, this little guy could come a lot sooner than that! He's very very active! I love being able to feel (and see!) my rather large stomach go in and out-- I feel sooo blessed for my health and strength and to have the enormous privilege of carrying this precious spirit. I already love him soooo much and pray daily that I can be the type of mom that he deserves!
The Nursery is starting to come together!! It's sooo cute and I just love it! We can't wait to finish our rocker and put all the finishing touches on the room. I also had to model one of his new outfits, including the ADORABLE robeez that mom bought him last weekend that I just love! Can't wait to put his little feet in them!
#4- Andrew and I are actually heading to Oregon Wednesday night for Luke's blessing/mothers day/last vacation before the baby. We are both sooo excited. I got a little mini-vacation last week at Sundance, but Andrew really hasn't been out of Provo since Christmas, plus he started another semester of school last week so he's anxious to get away for a few days! fun fun fun~!
I'll continue teaching til the end of May. June looks pretty low key for me. Andrew will be done with school and graduated on the 18th of June so that'll be exciting! I'm so excited for him to be done-- let me tell you it feels GREAT! We're still on the jobhunt, but the HP job is still treating him good and our landlords treat us pretty well ;) so we lucky to not be too pressured. Mom and Dad want to recarpet and repaint the whole whole this month so who knows, we may never want to leave here!!
Ok that's all that coming to me right now-- maybe because my laundry pile and dirty floors are staring at me telling me I need to go be productive!
