Life

I know everyone feels like this, but life seems to be moving SO fast for us these days!  It seems like we always have something going on, and we are not able to slow down for anything.  Our weekends are now filled with our most favorite thing--COLLEGE FOOTBALL!!  We live for this time of year, and our house can get a little loud any given Saturday.  Jovan and I are both phychotically crazy passionate about our teams, and I wouldn't want it any other way.  He commented the other day that he falls more and more in love with me every year during this time, ha!  Actually living here during football season makes my heart very happy.  I love knowing that I can go anywhere on Saturdays and EVERYONE is in some form of red or Huskers apparel!  It's also funny to drive around Omaha on Saturdays when we have home games and see how little traffic there is because of the mass exodus to Lincoln for game time!  Anyways...here's me and my girls on the first day of college football this year.  We have a picture of me 35 weeks pregnant on Lainey's "first day" of college football also.

My belly definitely popped the last couple of weeks!  I'm starting to feel the strain of the heaviness, and she is taking a toll on my back.  I'm sure the whole standing 8 hours a day plays a huge role as well!  I only had to teach about a month when I was pregnant with Lainey.  The thought of teaching an entire semester pregnant makes me a little nervous!  Oh well...I'll just do a lot more sitting over the next few months!

This is today's picture at 27 wks 1 day.  Tomorrow we take 72 6th graders out to a camping ground where we will spend 2 days hiking trails and doing all things Science!  The weather here last week was AMAZING, and it will continue to be amazing again this week...with the exception of tomorrow.  It is supposed to be 91 freaking degrees and sunny.  Not really sure how this big ol preggo is going to survive hiking in the heat with the most challenging kids I have ever taught, but God's going to get me through it...of this I am sure! 

And last, but not least, Happy Grandparent's Day!!  I am usually SO good at sending cards to all the grandparents in our life, but it absolutely snuck up on me this year.  So for the moment being, we sent Nana & Papa, J-Ma & J-Pa, and Grammy this lovely last minute picture on Facebook.  Sad???  Yes!  But it will have to do for this year.  I promise I'll make it up to them next year with what is sure to be two of the most adorable girls in the world!  We are so incredibly blessed to live SO much closer now to my parents!  I love seeing them as often as we do, and I love that Lainey will have such great memories of spending time at Nana & Papa's farm.  I don't know what I did to deserve such wonderful parents, and I thank God for them daily! 

Can't believe we're entering the third trimester!  Life is not slowing down for a moment, and we will be meeting our sweet baby soon!
