This Week

Wow! We can not believe it is already June! It really doesn't feel like summer with all of the classes we are taking!
Well this weekend we had a fun time looking at houses. We have in mind a fixer-upper, and the ones that we saw were definitely that! The first house was totally too much for us to even consider, and the second one was actually cute, but needed a new roof. Also, both of the houses were in a flood plane. So really, we got even more of an idea of what we are looking for and where we need to go to find it! We enjoy looking, though, so we are not discouraged that we haven't found the right place yet, especially since we still have plenty of time. We are in no rush to start house payments anyway! : ) We know that God will lead us to the place he has for us if we'll only be patient and go where he leads us!!
Let's see, other than houses, we really haven't been up to much. Only 8 more school days left of this summer session, hooray!! Zach is taking classes all three summer sessions, so he has only 2 more sessions to go (haha. I'm making it positive)! I am taking a 2 week class during the next summer session that is 5 hours each day, so that should be fun...not! But at least I will get that class over with quickly!!
Alrighty, I guess we are just boring and too busy to have any fun news to share! If we think of anything, we'll let y'all know! Have a great week!

Family room re-do featuring.... my curtains! : )

For a while now, we've planned on finally finishing our family room.  That's right, it's kind of been unfinished for the entire time we've lived there.  It was painted and decorated, just no molding and the ceiling was hideous because we (and by we, I mean Zach) took down the drop ceiling the previous owners had put up.  So, anyway, I looked at curtains and didn't really find anything I liked, so I decided I was going to make my own.  Zach and I looked at Jo-Ann's a couple times and each time we looked I liked this fabric more and more.  It was the most expensive fabric I've ever bought, but in the end, it was sooooo worth it! (*Note- I bought the fabric in January before NSM! : )) Here we are at Mama Joyce's one day after church cutting the panels.  I think we were all nervous to cut it.  It was too costly to mess up! Fast forward a couple weeks because I didn't have time, was lazy, and also scared to sew on it, and I finally just delved in an...

What I'm Thankful For...

Hey y'all. It's just Nathana in this post. I figured since I've been alive 20 years, that equals 20 Thanksgivings, so I'm gonna have the 20 things I'm most Thankful for. Here goes nothing! : ) 1. The first thing of course I am thankful for is my salvation through Jesus Christ! Without him I have no hope to be anything! 2. My mom and dad, and the home they raised me in. I could not imagine any parents better than mine, and I'm proud to be their daughter. I'm also thankful they didn't give me away to a farm when I was difficult! 3. My brother and sister. No one else knows all of the trouble we've been in and fun we've had over the years and even though we don't always see eye to eye, I wouldn't trade them for any other siblings. 4. Zachary Scheller. God has blessed me with an even better future husband than I could have ever asked for. My love and respect for him grows each day, and I will be so thankful this June when I can ca...

No-spend February

I have always been a "saver" of money, practically since I started receiving it for birthdays and especially since earning it.  I nearly cried when I paid $211 dollars cash for my iPod nano when I was 16. True fact!  So a long time ago I heard of a "Dave Ramsey" type idea of a no-spend month where in your household you pay your bills and buy groceries, and no extras for one month.  Then see how much you save.  Before the new year Zach and I were thinking about plans for this next year and things we're planning on saving for, so this idea appealed to the both of us!  Next came the decision of what month to pick for our month.  We knew December was out, for obvious reasons and we felt we needed more time to prepare than January, so February it was... also, who else would admit we're smart for doing this during the shortest month of the year? ; )  Yes, we thought of that as well. We did decide our own guidelines that fit our family. 1. Pay our bills....
