End of Summer Update

We have completely slacked off on the blog updating this summer. Anyway, a quick update of what is going on in our lives...

We are expecting a baby boy due on December 26th! I luckily did not get the awful morning sickness that my mom and sister both get (throwing up several times a day up through month 4). I did feel queasy and didn't feel like eating much, but I only threw up once after Jason made me a smoothie. The smoothie wasn't bad or anything, but it is fun to tease him about it anyway. :) I am feeling good these days (I'm currently in week 24). Just a little tired. Anyway, we are pretty excited trying to prepare to become parents and think of a name and all that fun stuff. 
I was never very good at deciphering ultrasound pics, but this one is pretty clear

Jason worked hard this summer working for catering and also being a TA for a psychology class. He also studied hard and took the MCAT in August. We are now trying to figure out if we should wait a year to apply since it is so late or go for it this cycle still. Jason also just started Fall Semester at BYU and is taking some exciting and difficult classes. One of his classes is Anatomy--hence the fake bones that are sitting next to me on the couch that he brought home to review. I think one of them is the Coccyx. This week he gets to start working with the actual cadavers, so he is excited for that.
Studying the body can have the effect of making you contemplate life or pretend to

I graduated in August and am now teaching at a private ESL (English as a Second Language) school in Provo. Things are going great so far. I am learning a lot and am having fun teaching English to students (ages 14-60+) from all over the world. It's very exciting to see them progress. 


Here are some pictures of the fun things we've done the last few weeks. 

Sanpete County Fair in Manti at the Andelin Family Reunion. Do you see the temple in the background?

First football game of the season against Washington State.

For Labor Day we went up to my uncle's ranch with a bunch of family members and rode horses & 4-wheelers, hiked, and had a great time. I think it was Jason's 3rd or 4th time riding horses. He did a good job. This is him on Dixie.

Me on Lily.
Jason took this picture while on his horse. I think that's why my head is slightly cut off. :)
