Day 1 of Freedom!

Today as been my first non-holiday, non-sick weekday without school or work in a long time!! I must say I am thoroughly enjoying it. Finals ended on Thursday, and Friday was my last day working.

We go to Jason's parents' house on Sundays for dinner and usually stay late. On Sunday nights, I typically start feeling stressed about school the next day, the studying I should have done over the weekend, and the need to get to bed at a decent hour. Last night I felt so relaxed and carefree. I didn't have anything to stress about because Monday was coming, and it really didn't matter what time I went to sleep. It was awesome. Jason, on the other hand, plays basketball at 5:00am and then works all day, so this time he was the one pushing me out the door. Now I get to stay at home and nest until Callie comes!

2nd Anniversary

Jason and I celebrated our second anniversary on Saturday!

I had to take my Praxis exam that morning (part of teacher certification), but I came home to a clean house (including candles and music) and my sweet husband, ready to spend the day with me. We didn't do anything elaborate, but we had a wonderful day just spending time together, playing basketball and games together, watching a movie, and we went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner (one of our favorite restaurants). We thought it was pretty funny that when we got married it was about 107 degrees outside, but two years later in Utah it was in the high 50's. For our anniversary, Jason had one of our engagement pictures printed on a 12x12 canvas to hang in our room. I'm so excited to see it!

Baby things and Us things

Over the past number of weeks, more like months, Jason and I have been very involved in preparing and planning for Callie's arrival. As each weekend approaches and we think about what we want to do together, our plans usually involve doing "baby things." This past weekend I asked Jason if he wanted to do more "baby things" on Friday night and he responded that he wanted to do some "us things" instead, so I surprised him after work with a picnic in the park and a short game of catch (part of his on-going attempt to teach me how to throw and catch a baseball. Even though my parents joke that I was raised on a softball field, I never really mastered the catch and throw myself). We had a great time together!

My pregnancy is still going well and is coming to a close! We're down to weekly doctor's appointments now (no progress yet toward labor). I feel like I'm carrying around a basketball of a tummy, and I think it's getting pretty squished in there because of the smaller amount of food that fits in my stomach at one time, the shortness of breath, the difficulty in bending over and getting up, etc. I'll have to post a picture soon.
