Back to School...

I started school again last week, so if I've fallen off the face of the Earth lately by not returning phone calls, texts or emails please forgive me! I forget how hard it is to get in the routine of things again. Its a bitter sweet feeling I don't want to be in school, but I'm happy to be finishing up my bachelors degree.
Here's a little update on what weve been up to with pictures to follow later. First, we got to go to Washington 2 weeks ago with Molly and Spencer and it was so beautiful! We got our baby crib in and are excited to put it together, and we are looking forward to one last trip before the baby comes this labor day weekend up to our condo in park city with our friends Brent and Emily and Jr and Rachel.

preparing for baby...

Lately i have been staying busy and trying to find time to prep little by little getting ready for Dalton to come, organizing his clothes, toys, getting list of needs together, and trying to find a place for everything in our room since he will be our little room mate. We are so excited for him and its fun preparing for him. Im hoping he wont come too early because I have been having contractions daily and I've been feeling a bit of an urge to be prepared! Good thing we have a full week of vacation ahead of us for me to just relax and get a break from school and work! We get to go to Washington this week to visit Scott's mission. For my birthday last week my awesome family gave me some cash to get something for mommy :) I probably spent way too much money but I've had my eye on this diaper bag for a while so thank you family I'm really excited, isnt it cute?!

4th of july and a 6 month picture

We went up to Taylor Az with Scotts family for the 4th of July rodeo this weekend where the hastings boys did some calf roping. We also spent some time in Kohls ranch/tonto creek area with my family at my parents cabin, such a relaxing weekend...and Ive finally posted a prego belly shot from the rodeo!

Elder and Sister Hastings

June 1st-Off to the Prove UT, MTC for training! It feels so different without a set of parents here, especially living in their home without them here! I have become more aware of everything Norma and Dave do for the family day to day, taking over a small part of their responsibilities here. Below are some pics of sending them off at the airport from Phoenix to Salt Lake. Scott, Shawn and I went up to see them last saturday in Salt Lake before they flew out of UT for the Phillipines, i didnt have a chance to get my camera out for pics there so ill have to get some from them-but it was fun to surprise them. We called and arranged a dinner at the roof without them knowing who would be there to meet them, ate real quick then sent them on their way to the Manilla Phillipines. Then we stayed up at our condo in Park city until monday it was so good to relax, and get away from the heat. Scott and Shawn got to do some golfing, and I got to do some shopping-I got my first maternity and baby clothes!
