Did ya miss me?

Hey everyone! I'm back! Remember my last update? Well things have changed since then. We are definitely having a GIRL! I am 35 weeks along and SO ready to have her already! However, I am loving the nesting instincts and preparing for her to come. Pregnancy has been good to me and I wouldn't trade it for the world! But there are a few things I am not going to miss like my feet suddenly cramping up in the middle of the night, or my muscles feeling like they are going to rip apart, and the numerous trips to the bathroom. But you know what? I don't even mind those things very much because I am so grateful to have this little baby growing inside of me. We are not living in Green Bay, Wisconsin. About a day or two after I made my last post the company called Jake and asked him if he would mind staying here in Utah and working for their Salt Lake City department. Uh.......YES! It was a no brainer. We didn't even have to think about it. So Jake is working in North Salt Lake and we are living in my parent's basement until the baby comes. It's been so wonderful to have my mom to ask questions and I cannot wait until she can help me with the baby when she comes! I love my family! Scott received his mission call a few months ago! He is going to the Bogota, Columbia mission. The most amazing part is that that is the exact mission my Dad served in when he went on his mission. Needless to say we were all in tears when he opened his call and read that aloud. I can't believe I have a brother going on a mission! He enters the MTC on May 25 which is exactly one week after my due date. We are praying hard that he gets to meet his first niece. Love you, Scott! I am so proud of you! I finished my student teaching!!!!!!!! If excuses are allowed, that is why I have not blogged in so long. Student teaching literally takes over your life and I am not exaggerating. It has been the craziest four months ever but I finally finished on April 8 and will graduate from BYU on April 21. Jake and I will walk just to make it "official". I spent the first seven weeks in a 5th grade classroom and loved it! The last six weeks were spent in a first grade classroom and, although the first graders were cute and I loved the students, I sure found myself being challenged! First grade is hard to teach! Mostly because it's all management of the class. But HALLELUJAH!!! I am finished! I have been home this week just sitting around waiting for baby to come. It's a weird transition thinking I never have school again and that I am finally beginning my mom job but I am liking it already!
