My tummy is getting bigger. I must have grown a lot the past couple days, my cooperating teacher, mother-in-law, and of my students have all informed me in the past two days of that fact. My students are all very excited that I’m pregnant, but are sad that I will be leaving before the baby is born, they want to see it. They also all want us to name our child after them. They are so funny. Everyone here in Arizona also wants us to stay. My family will be very sad if we don’t move to Oregon when I am done student teaching. Our plan for now is to move to Oregon around the New Year so David can finish his education (near my family). We aren’t sure what we will do after that. Our plan was to stay in Oregon, but yesterday David’s boss asked him to come back and work for them after he is done with school. They really like him here and it is a great opportunity, but we aren’t sure about the heat. So we have no idea what to do, but we don’t have to figure it out now, we still have a little while.

Stephanie recently had a birthday. We went to Olive Garden for dinner, it was so good. And we just spend the day together as a family. It was nice. David made me a cherry pie, it has become a tradition. Every birthday he makes one for me. It was so good, probably one of the best ones he has made so far. When David was finished making the pie there was some extra dough and cherries left so I made some small pies with it, about the size of cupcakes. The flower got on my belly. So I took some pictures of it. David and his family got me the TI-nspire calculator for my birthday, I’m so excited.
