Big News!!!

We are excited to announce that Mike is not sterile, and we are having a baby! We went in for the first doctor appointment yesterday and I am 14 weeks along. The baby is due September 15! The doctor said it looks like a boy but it is too soon to tell. Mike and I have a feeling it's a girl. We'll find out for sure in about six weeks. Here are a few pictures of Baby Shaw.

Island Park

We have not updated our blog in a long time, probably because Mike and I forget to take our camera with us. If I don't have any pictures I don't like writing. But I guess I'll make an exception this time.
This semester has been really rough on Mike and I. He studies all the time and we never see each other. He is taking some difficult classes right now that determine his acceptance for medical school. The pressure is on and we want to thank everyone for the prayers in our behalf.
On Friday Mike and I were able to get away to Island Park and meet up with our friend, Tosha Hill, at her grandpa's cabin. This is the second year she's invited us to the cabin for her spring break and we feel really lucky to have such a good friend. We had such a great time snowmobiling, hanging out with her and her 35 friends from Utah State, and playing games. I cannot believe how amazing this cabin is. It has three floors, eight bedrooms and bathrooms, three kitchens, a huge entertainment center with a trampoline, pool table, air hockey table, ping pong table, and my favorite a fuseball table. The cabin is just incredible. It was even more incredible that the cabin was jam packed with people. Thanks for letting us come Tosha.
Mike and I went snowmobiling for two hours straight that morning and it was beautiful. The snow was falling and everything was covered in soft white powder. Of course Mike spent the rest of the snowmobiling because he doesn't get out much anymore. I spent the rest of the day relaxing, just the way I like a vacation.
Sunday morning we had to drive back home early because Mike volunteers at the hospital doing physical therapy and I had to visit sister's in the ward. We had stake conference later on and Mike and I sang in the choir. It was a very uplifting conference.
