Christmas Time Is Here Again

Our Second Christmas
Our First Christmas
Bells are ringing, and children (well, usually me actually) are singing, soon it will be Christmas Day! 11 days to be exact! Wow, it seems like last year's Christmas was just here!
In good old Kentucky/ not so great Indiana, Nathana is enduring the very stressful week of finals. She did get her Literature Focus Unit done and turned in today, so that's like the weight of the world off of her shoulders. Only 3 more finals to go and she's FREE! Looking forward to a nice 3 week or so break! She will still have to work, but the daycare's numbers will be so low during the next two weeks, she won't have to work every single day.
Zach is still at Mickey D's and has found out that he may not be going to the lineman class until February OR APRIL! It is getting frustrating because they keep telling him a date and keep pushing it back. The lady in charge is about to get a call from a stressed bride demanding her future husband not be away at school when he is supposed to be getting married!!!
Any how, we are getting in the Christmas spirit and I think each year I realize more and more how much Christmas means to me. How amazing to think if you were Mary, and found out you were a virgin who was pregnant! I just could never even imagine it! She and Joseph had so much faith, so it makes me feel a little bad when I won't hand over even the small worries I carry around to the Lord. I'm trying though, and I hope he doesn't get tired of all the school work he hears about. In times where this is the "Holiday" season, we're keeping ours the CHRISTmas season!
We'll have lots of Christmas pictures from this year coming too! We're celebrating with Zach's Mom's side on the 19th, his dad's side on Christmas Eve, with my family and my mom's side on the 25th, and then with my dad's side on the 26th. It's our first time collaborating on holiday events, and I'm so glad it's worked out that we can get everywhere! I feel so blessed that everyone lives pretty close to one another. Next year we'll be celebrating Christmas as a family united in marriage, and I can't begin to express in words how thankful, blessed, and EXCITED I am for that. I really do think I am the luckiest woman in the whole world and just need to remember that when circumstances are trying to dampen my spirit!
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
Love, Zach and Nathana

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...

Turns out...

Third grade is not bad at all! The kids are still pretty sweet and are so excited for me to be there and I am excited too! I think it will be fun to see all that they can do and have fun with them. Yesterday I received 5 notes on my desk about how excited that I was there and about how much fun we were going to have. I think they are right! Hopefully I get the hang of them quickly, because I start teaching Science (Mon and Wed), Social Studies(Tues and Thur), and PE (Fri) next week!

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...
