Lightning Fast Update

Hello Followers (Mom and Caroline)

I have been thinking a lot about this blog and have felt that I have neglected it far too long. So for those of you who care, here is a quick update of what has been happening in Jake and I's lives.

*We are EXPECTING A BABY!!! We found out back in September that we are expecting a little baby and I am currently sitting at 16 weeks. At our last ultrasound the technician "guessed" that it was a little girl but to save our receipts. I took that pretty much as a guarantee :) Jake and I have LOTS of girls names that we like. We are beyond excited and can't wait for May 12th to come!

*Jake was offered a job by Schneider National in Green Bay, Wisconsin and we have accepted! I know, you are calling us crazy right about now. Well, we are crazy. Not only are we moving halfway across the country but I will finish my student teaching in a school that is nothing like Nebo school district and I will have our baby there in Green Bay. Needless to say I feel like I am having to grow up WAY too fast. We are moving at the end of December and we are definitely preparing for the Wisconsin winters. BRRRRR.....

*I just finished my last practicum ever! I am SO happy about that! However, I am still having nightmares about the whole thing.

*Thanksgiving break has been amazing! Jake and I got here in Lehi on Tuesday night and have been "vacationing" here ever since. We have seen two movies (Tangled and Harry Potter-HIGHLY recommend both), did lots of black Friday shopping (spent way too much money), saw the Roundy's at nephew Kolter's birthday party (Happy 1st Birthday!!!), and did a TON of relaxing and lazying around. It has been perfect! and I don't want it to be over. If I throw a fit and cry will that extend the vacation?

Overall, a lot of things have been happening and I am sure that a lot of things will continue to happen. I will do a better job of keeping this blog up.

Congratulations!!! That is awesome! Both on the baby and the move! Green Bay used to be in my stake back home, but they split off when I was about 12. The winters are definitely a bit colder, but you don't have to walk to and from school there!
Wonderful news, but I didn't know you guys were moving so soon!
We'll miss you a lot!

Wow! Congrats! I am so excited for you, and can't wait to hear about names and all that jazz. Exciting news about the move also. We had our baby far away from home, and it is hard. But, remember that wherever the church is, you will have family. Keep us posted on the move and on life. Congrats!
