Update

So here's some pictures of some things we've been up to lately. Besides the fun stuff, we've also been house hunting!! We just put an offer on a foreclosed house in Spanish Fork, and if they don't accept our offer, we're probably going to go ahead and build a house in the Spanish Fork/Mapleton area. Why the sudden decision? We have decided we are not going to move out of state in August as originally planned, and the interest rates for homes right now are crazy low, so why not? Maybe because we are having a baby in less than 2 months-you might say? Maybe because Matt is leaving for Alaska for 2 weeks tomorrow? Yes, normal people probably wouldn't do this, but me and Matt are oh-so-not normal, and we have to make things difficult! We will let you know what the outcome is...we find out Wednesday if we get the house. (But I'm actually hoping we get to build!)

In other news...baby is growing good and strong! The doctor says she is looking great, and everything is going as it should be. I am having all sorts of weird things going on with my body, but I guess as long as they don't all happen at the same time, I'll survive. I am also starting to identify the movements inside me. I'll feel kicks, punches, stretches, and even her fingers tickling me! It's fun to feel and comforting to know that's she's still growing in there!

So, yes, Matt is leaving for Barrow Alaska tomorrow for 2 weeks! Barrow is in the Arctic circle, and it's one of the most northern villages in Alaska! A non-profit organization called "Challenge for Life" is flying him and his band up there, and they are going to be teaching music workshops for the high school kids, and then playing shows a couple of nights. Then Matt is staying an extra week, and traveling to 2 more villages to teach more workshops. I guess they have a huge problem with polar bears up there, so Matt's hoping to see one! Matt will take the camera, so we'll post some pictures when he gets back.

By the way, if anyone can teach me how to put pictures in a collage to put on the blog, let me know! I can't figure it out!
Here's some things we've been up to lately:
