Updates

Well, I can't believe that I haven't gotten around to updating this for a long time! I'm sorry everyone. Basically, there really hasn't been much to update you on until now except for my growing belly so I guess no news is good news right?

I guess I better update you on my belly. Here are the pictures I have so far. It's crazy how big my belly is getting. My little nephew told me "Wow, your belly is getting big!" and I said "I know, it's huge huh!" and he said sheepishly "Yeah it is..." It's true. It's big and very heavy but that just means the little boy growing inside of me is healthy.

So here is a little timeline so far...

20 Weeks

23 weeks
26 weeks (wow! 3 weeks can make such a big difference!)

31 Weeks
35 weeks (not the best picture of me...but you get to see the belly anyway)

It's crazy to look back on my 20 week picture...I can't believe my belly used to be small. I've gotten so used to it being big it feels like it's always going to be like this but I know it isn't. Just 5 or so more weeks! The month of March went by so fast...I bet April will too. And then Landon will be here before we know it! So exciting!

Well, other exciting news has happened to our family. We know that we will be moving out of Logan down to Utah County area soon! Like really soon- by August! Kyle has applied for a lot of teaching positions and has gotten a couple of offers...now the hard part is choosing which one to take. But hey, having options is better than having no or little options right? I am just really excited that we will be living close to most family and friends after 4 years of living far away from them (2.5 hours is too far for me) =). I am so excited to start a new life with a new home, new town, new baby, and a new job!

This past Sunday was a really good Sunday. I was overwhelmed with gratitude for the many blessings that Kyle and I have recently received with job offers, our baby, etc. We feel so very blessed right now. I know that Heavenly Father is watching over us and is answering our prayers. I also feel overwhelming gratitude towards my husband. Kyle is amazing. I am so proud of him. I am so proud to call him my husband. He is a wanted man! He has gotten too many calls for interviews and the interviews he has had with everyone they have all expressed how much they want him to work for their school. He is a great teacher. He has a way of connecting with young people that most people don't (or don't want to). He loves teaching middle school and Jr. High age and most people think he is crazy for it because that is such a hard age (remember Jr. High?...I would like to forget) =) He has brought up many student's grades just in these few weeks of student teaching and has gotten many notes from his students telling him how much they love him as a math teacher. The teachers he is teaching for and the principle he is working for love him too and can't praise him enough for doing such a great job. His supervisor who observes him from the university tells him every time she comes how much she loves what he is doing and she even wrote him a letter of recommendation without him even asking her for one. He wouldn't tell this to anybody but me of course (and sometimes I have to force it out of him) but I wanted to just tell the world of how amazing I think he is and how proud of him I am. He is going to be a great math teacher and help a lot of students.

So keep us in your prayers that we may find the right job for us and that all will go well in this next month for the baby and I. Thanks for all your support and love. I will try to keep this blog updated!
