Tribute to Timpview

As this was our very last day of class at Timpview, I wanted to write a few highlights and special times that I will always remember of our year here.

1: St. George Tour with all the teams
2: The extreme unity and focus of the teams at Nationals and being able to watch them do amazingly after countless hours of hard work.
3: Getting nice emails from parents or students
4: The baby shower that was thrown for me just a few weeks ago
5: Watching the Student Choreography Night from the audience
6: Signing their yearbooks
7: Teaching private lessons and watching them improve and get better
8: Watching little romances throughout the year (of course they thought we were oblivious :) )
9: Painting the room blue at the beginning of the year
10: Enjoying an organized, clean office
11: Having faculty like Kim, Susan, Michelle, Cliff and others welcome us and always be so friendly
12: Going to sleep on Saturday night after Thunderball, Winter Concert, and Spring Concert.
13: Burger Supreme with team members (a little embarrassing with how loud they were, but we left before anyone got kicked out)
14: Being forced to kiss each other in front of everyone
15: Using a microphone after weeks of my voice hurting at the end of the day
16: Starting a new winter semester with no latin class
17: How everyone would call it "Story Time" when we sat down to talk. It usually was not as interesting as they probably would have hoped.
18: Talking with Tia about everyone at home (all good things of course)
19: Competing in November and having a supportive little cheer section from the students
20: Students that would stay after they needed to or come in to help extra not because they wanted anything, but because they sincerely wanted to help.
21: Varsity California Tour
22: Hearing Tia say things that Lee (our old coach) used to say that we would always laugh at Lee for.
23: Announcing we were having a baby to the teams
24: Watching how well accepted the team was at basketball games and assemblies. The crowd loved them.
25: Teaching the social dance class try dance for the very first time
26: Seeing the mirror with a bunch of different messages, mostly love notes, from the students written on it.

Thanks for the memories! We don't have very many pictures but here are a few...

Things I got at the baby shower they threw for me.

Living it Up!

I was telling Becky (my sister) that I haven't updated the blog because every time I update it I want to talk about our babies and I don't want to become one of those people that can't talk about anything but their children. I will put up a non-baby post in the near future, but she let me know that people wanted to hear about it so I'll risk sounding like someone who isn't aware of anything but her kids...

I had an ultrasound yesterday and it was so cute to see the babies again! We learned a few things
1. They are the same size right now: ~1.5 lbs
2. The lining in between each of their sacs is very thick, meaning they are probably fraternal.
3. One is head down, and one is head up.
4. She kept commenting on how much they were moving! (and I can feel them so much!)
5. Unless there is a huge health concern, they never induce twin births, so I really have no idea when these little girls are coming in August.

As far as the blog title is concerned, Tia and I are truly living it up. We have been trying to take advantage of any time we have to do something fun together, any time we have to sleep, and any time we have to go out somewhere. Besides finishing up at Timpview and Tia looking hard for a job, we have kind of been party animals in a lot of ways. We like watching movies together late at night, sleeping in on weekends, spontaneously going out for dinner, going on hikes or walks together at this beautiful time of year, watching music videos together, etc. We are trying to enjoy these last few months of our own time together. We have minimal responsibilities, a lot of freedom, and free time where we aren't exhausted. While we are so so so excited for our babies, we know this period of our life is special and it will all change in a few months...
