Spring 2015.

March.

The winter was super mild this year. Thank goodness! The sun already started coming out in March, and we loved it! We were able to spend a lot of time with our good friends Tyler, Dani, Braeden, Sierra, and little Owen. We also loved Sunday dinners with Mark and Danielle.

For Jake's birthday I planned an outdoor party over at Rock Canyon Park. We had chips and salsa, chicken salad croissants, wiffle ball, and tons of friends and family!

April. 

Almost done! Jake kicked this semester's butt. He is so studious and, honestly, kind of a nerd. I'm not complaining! He works so hard. Jake also took me country dancing this month with Danielle and Dayne. I easily fall 80 times more in love with him when we go country dancing. 

I was super pumped for spring break. My mom came down for General Conference and Mark and Danielle also came over for breakfast and to watch with us! Then I headed up to Idaho to spend the week with my mom. I ended up chopping off about 9 inches of hair that week. Kind of regret it, but it's nice to switch it up, I guess! I've had long hair since I was 14, so I figured 10 years was long enough. After the break, one of my students asked if I cut my hair because I was pregnant. I told her no, but it turns out she might have had some sort of wacky strong intuition about that....I also held dance auditions in April. It's like I'm a real high school dance teacher or something. Weird. Jake finished up finals with awesome grades and became my housewife for a few weeks. He really is good at it. Nobody folds towels and keeps the kitchen clean quite like Jake Tarabilda. 

May. 

What a fun month! So much happened. My birthday was awesome. Jake took me to an Aaron Watson Concert the week before and he actually loved the music! Let me tell ya, there's nothing more attractive than your man randomly singing an Aaron Watson song as he's driving down the road or taking out the trash. They just pop into his head now! And I love it. So much fun to get to share that part of growing up with him :)

He even posed for this picture for me! I about died. 

The funny thing was my back and feet were KILLING me this night....I wonder why. Later the next week, Jake helped me and some of my dancers lay the marley flooring on our stage for our concert the next week. After working on that, I convinced Jake to let me go buy a pregnancy test. I had been wanting to take one for about a week, but I didn't want to take it too soon and be wrong, ya know?

Well, we all know how this one ends. Jake was sitting in bed patiently waiting for me to come out. Meanwhile, I'm in the bathroom FREAKING out. I couldn't believe it. It was really positive? Really? Maybe it was wrong. There's no way it's positive. Really? Don't get me wrong, I was SO excited. I was just afraid to believe it because what if it was wrong? I slowly walked out of the bathroom with big eyes and my hand over my mouth. Poor Jake wasn't 100% sure what that meant, but I quickly told him. We hugged and hugged and he said I was shaking. I was! We were so excited. Our lives were going to change SO much and two minutes before it was just the two of us! What a great start to a crazy month. And a great end to a crazy school year!

Luckily, I didn't get too sick during May. My concert went really well. Sarah and my mom even came down to see it! Jake left Mother's Day weekend for California to start his internship! I finished out the school year with minor back pain, tons of hunger, some picky eating, and LOTS of naps. As soon as I could, I made my way to be with my cutie out in CA. We were so happy to be together again!
