It's pretty much a record..

For the LONGEST time between posts. There honestly has been a lot going on, I am sure I could have posted here and there but I probably didn't because I was not feeling well or I was at work.
This has been my hardest semester so far- what a great way to end right? Now I am REALLY ready to be done with school.

For the first half of the semester I was working 15-25 hours a week at Papa Murphy's (my internship) and I was working 12 hours a week as a secretary/TA on campus. I know some people can handle around 30 hours of work while being a full time student but it was really hard for me. I felt like I worked hard all day got home around 9 or 10 and passed out from exhaustion.

In the middle of the semester I found out I was pregnant (which I am thrilled about) and that really wiped me out- I cut my work hours in half and spent all of my free time napping and trying to figure out what I was going to eat next. : )

That's my story.

An overview of the past..3 months??

Here is a picture of my at 13 weeks. I am at the awkward stage when most of my clothes don't fit and people are beginning to wonder if I am just fat or pregnant but they don't want to ask. I was pretty sure I was pregnant with the way I was feeling and my missed period but Dane didn't believe me, we finally got a pregnancy test (Dane picked the most expensive one because he wanted to be SURE). We left it in the bathroom and shut the door and waited in the living room for 3 minutes and then we both raced to the bathroom to see the results.

Positive. It was a fun moment. We hugged exclaimed how terrified and excited we were at the same time.

Every day I come home and lay down- it's so hard for me to get anything done because I have been sick and tired the whole time. This year we spent thanksgiving at My sister's house with her family, my parents, and my brother and his wife.

After dinner we played rock band wii- it was so fun.

The dinner was fabulous! Everything I hoped for.

The table:

My dad has been in school at BYU-Idaho and he is taking a semester off and truck driving. Unfortunately he didn't get in until 1 or 2 in the morning on Thanksgiving so he was exhausted- but we were so glad he made it!

I love these pictures of Dane with our nieces and nephew- Rachel, Ben, and Susannah. He is a kid magnet.

Before the semester started I decided to rearrange the living room. I felt so tough moving all the furniture by myself.

After:

In November my sisters, mom, and sister in law got together for our annual girls weekend shopping trip. We made bows in the hotel room: We ate fabulous food:

spent HOURS shopping, and went to the temple.

This is our baby's first outfit from Emily!

My friend Brittany and I threw a surprise birthday party for our friend Paige. It was a blast.
I made the cake. (I was pretty proud of it)In october Dane's sister Jenne came to visit with two of her friends from BYU. We really enjoyed having them.

Other news: The baby is due June 11

I was supposed to student teach in Utah but they changed it to local (which is a blessing) and I am still waiting for my specific placement.

Dane will be doing an internship in the winter.

We actually didn't get kicked out of our apartment but we will be moving as soon as we get into subsidized housing.

I am done with classes at BYU-Idaho next week, I am done working Dec 31, and I begin student teaching January 4.

I will try to make my next record the smallest break in between posts.
