Ten on Thursday

Wow, this week has been a blur! 1. My first field trip with my 3rd graders was yesterday. We went Ag day out at the 4-H fair grounds. The kids got to see all kinds of farm animals and tasted things like fruits, vegetables, cheese, and fresh-churned butter. They seemed to really enjoy it! They even had enough energy for an outdoor recess when we got back to school. Mrs. Daub and I were exhausted, though! 2. My birthday is now 2 days away. I can't believe it. Seriously, how can I be almost 22? I know it will be a fun day though, and I am eager to see what Zach got me! 3. Our lap tops from college are ka-put, so last night we bought a new one. It's an hp something-or-other and we really like it! 4. Zach goes next week to register for classes at USI! (So glad I don't have to this time!) 5. One month from tomorrow, I will graduate from college! It is so crazy that it has been 4 years. I can definitely look back and say college went by much faster than high school! (Thank you, Lord, for that!) 6. Zach and I finished our puzzle! Maybe I already said that, but I didn't tell you we went ahead and decopaged it too! It looks great, and now we are looking for a frame that is big enough for it! 7. We ordered some larger wedding photos along with pictures for Mama and Mama Joyce this week. I was ecstatic because Shutterfly was running a promotion for 50% off prints 8''x10'' up to 20"x 30." Our order also qualified for free shipping, so we saved $41.00! I was even more excited about that. The 4"x6"s, 5"x7", and 8"x10" should be here tomorrow, and I can't wait to see them. We also got a 20"x30" of us, and I am dying to see that one too, but the larger pictures are being shipped by a different company! 8. Zach is literally counting down the months until deer season. Prime Example: We lay down in bed and Zach says, "Hey, guess what?" Me:"I don't know. So many days till my birthday?" Zach: "No, only 5 more months until deer season!" Then he squeals in the manliest way he knows how! Ha, you think I kid, but just ask him and see if you don't ellict the same response! 9. Nellie's incisions are healing perfectly and her poor hack job of a fur trim on her belly is beginning to grow back. We go to the vet next Wednesday to get her next round of vaccines! 10. I am so ready for swimming and sun in Florida, it is unreal! Come on, July, hurry it up! I hope ya'll are having a great week! Just remember, it's almost Friday! : )

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....
