Update

Here's a more detailed run-down of what we're up to:

We finished our semester last month and started the Spring term a week after!  Our lives changed dramatically since we found out China has been post-poned.  We didn't walk in the graduation ceremony, instead we will both be walking in the graduation ceremony on August 13th/14th.  For now, we are both going to school and working.  Justin has three classes and is working full-time (it's quite a bit for a Spring term), and I am taking one class and working part-time.  Justin has decided to work towards a minor in Business Management, and will therefore continue to take full loads next term and during fall semester.  I will be done after Spring term, which ends next month, and won't have to ever take any more undergraduate classes!
Justin should also be working toward preparing for the LSAT right now.  I think he's planning on taking it in September, and again in December if he doesn't do well the first time.
I'm currently trying to sell my wedding dress.  I've posted it on craigslist and have had 3 people come try it on so far. 2 of them haven't fit into it well, and the 3rd fits fine and will get back to me when she decides if she wants it.
We have worked out our medical insurance and are all set for having the baby!  We were pretty worried about what we were going to do for insurance, considering I will no longer be a student in the fall, and as of recently, will not yet be part of the Flagship program (which would have granted us insurance through BYU).  But, all is well now!  We are taking our choice of doctor more seriously now that we know we'll be here in Utah for the birth.  I made an appointment with Dr. Wold, the doctor that delivered 1(?) of James and Liz' kids and all(?) of Michelle and Bryce's.
We've made a greater resolve to have a structured family home evening every Monday and have done well so far.  Before, Justin worked until about 9:30pm on Mondays, which made it more difficult, but now he's home at 6:30pm, and it is working much better!  We've enjoyed studying the subjects of journal writing, scripture reading, and how to be better teachers of our Sunday School class in the last few weeks.  We're still teaching the 12 and 13 year olds every Sunday.

Surprisingly, we've had much more time for each other this term than we did last semester.  But, I've got this lurking fear that all of the time will disappear if and when Justin's classes catch up to him.

We're excited for James and Liz to come visit in June!!
