Mother's day

I felt a little silly celebrating mother's day this year, since I don't do any mothering  yet. Nevertheless, Jake spoiled me and made it a perfect day. He brought me blueberry pancakes in bed. It's always been a tradition in my family to do breakfast in bed on special holidays and Jake's been a good sport about continuing that for me.  He made the yummiest blueberry pancakes, I couldn't stop thinking about them the rest of the day {.. I think about food wayy too much these days.!}

When he asked me what I wanted for mother's day I said a nice card, but I would also love a cupcake. He delivered, of course. 

He also tracked down something I showed him on pinterest for like 10 seconds and bought it for me. Apparently he went searching in my browser history for it. I was pretty darn surprised. He's the best!

We spent the day at church, skyping with Jake's brother Jarett who's serving a mission in Mexico, and cuddling on the couch watching the Survivor season finale. It was a good day.

Since we are on the topic of motherhood... According to my cell phone app, I am now in the third trimester and the baby is the size of a head of cauliflower.. eek! While I am SO excited and grateful to be having this little baby join our life soon, I get a little stressed when I look in the mirror and see a fat lady looking back. {Maybe this has something to do with me thinking about food all day? ..lol}. So it's possible that I've been avoiding the camera lately.. if you're wondering ;) 

Life Lately..

Life hasn't slowed down a whole lot since graduation. Last weekend we went to Atlanta  to spend time with Jake's family. His parents are awesome, and our church was filming one of those "I'm a Mormon" videos about their lives. So we went down there for the weekend to support them and be the background people. We had a great time at the lake house, relaxing, eating ritas, and going to the Braves game.

This is the only picture I snapped of the filming

We had such good seats and they won!

Jake still has a couple classes to finish up this summer and his crazy teachers are keeping him super busy. I am taking a "clothing construction" class just for fun and spending at least 5 hours a day in the lab learning how to sew clothes. Luckily, I'm not taking it for a grade so I'm feeling pretty stress free these days. Since we will be around all summer we decided to get a garden plot at our apartment complex. We don't really know what we are doing, but we're hoping something turns out!

Reason #45030 why Jake is awesome. He drives all the way to Salt Lake just to look at strollers with me for hours and doesn't even complain. I actually had a lot of fun. It really hasn't hit me yet that there will be a baby in our stroller in a few months, but we still have time for that to sink in.. After our stroller shopping we got the most delicious cupcakes and then headed downtown to try out the Red Iguana, a Mexican restaurant we've been wanting to try for a long time. On the way there we saw a sign at another place and realized it was Cinco de Mayo... perfect. lol. They put us in this tiny hot pink room that only had enough room for our table but the food was so worth it!
