March: In Like a Lion and Out Like a Lamb

Just thought I'd give you an update seeing that I never posted that last email update - whoops! :)

As many of you already know ... WE'RE PREGNANT! I'm at 14 weeks today and due in September. We're anxiously awaiting our new arrival and Michael has made me promise to quit eyeing all those cute baby clothes at the store until we find out if it's going to be a girl or a boy. May 4th can't come soon enough! Don't worry, as soon as we know, you'll know. I'm no good at keeping exciting secrets like that ;)

The end of the semester is almost here! This week is our last full week of classes and next week will be half a week of classes and the remainder of the week for finals. Then .... graduation! Graduation is going to be a marathon event this year. Friday April 6th will be both Commencement as well as Convocation. We're looking forward to spending a little bit of time with Grandparents Beal who are skipping out of the MTC a little bit early so that they can make it to Convocation to hear me speak. Still a little apprehensive about how well that is going to work out. I emailed my talk to the Dean yesterday and I still haven't heard anything back ...  Overall I'm excited to graduate but a little sad to be leaving the education world. What do I do with my life now?

I think that Mike is getting antsy to be done with school as well. We just keep trying to look on the bright side - only two more semesters on campus and then student teaching. :) We're hoping to receive his student teaching placement by the end of the month. We requested either the Nampa school district, Idaho Falls, or the Utah area. Lots of changes for this little family. We'll be excited for wherever we are assigned but each location has some benefits and some downfalls so I guess we'll just wait and see, then the real worrying will begin! I'll try to post an update about our student teaching placement once we get it. Well I guess this should probably be enough of a study break for me. Mike should be home soon so I should probably start figuring out what to make for dinner - he probably wouldn't be all that excited about pancakes again, but maybe apple pancakes? This little Feik definitely loves its breakfast food!
