Ten on Thursday...

That is actually on a Thursday!





1. My work load feels like a heavy burden that has been lifted since I completed and submitted my portfolio Sunday night! It was my last undergraduate assignment to turn in, and let me tell you, it felt wonderful, amazing, relieving, any word you can think of for "good," that's how it felt!





2. I am praying that I get more interviews so I can find a job!


3. Since I'm on a "me" kick, I would like to continue my countdown to graduation. It's only 10 days away!





4. I only have 6 days of student teaching left. This leaves me bewildered and astounded that it is has flown by so quickly and befuddled because I have a constant voice in my head saying What will you do if you don't get a job? Then I remember that I am not supposed to worry: Cast all your anxiety on him for he cares for you.- (1 peter 5:7) I like that voice in my head much better than my own thoughts. We, or should I say, I, need to fully put it in His hands so that he can take care of me! I am soooo working on improving this!





5. Enough about moi, let's move on to current events and the rest of my family. Zach's company truck broke down on Tuesday this week, leaving them stranded on the side of the road on Henderson. Nellie girl and I hopped in the car and went to pick Zach and his co-worker up. They were walking down the highway with their lunchboxes and were pretty dirty, so Nellie didn't recognize Zach. Let's not forget she has never even seen the other man before. So naturally when I slow down, pull over, and they start walking towards the car, she transitions to defense mode and starts barking at them! It was hilarious, because she never, ever acts this way towards people. It was also comforting to me, because I feel if there was something or someone was trying to hurt me, she would go into defense mode!

6. Our Easter was lovely! Too bad I left my camera at home and I have no pictures to show. I'll try to get the ones off of my daddy's camera.

7. My Mama leaves for Montana tomorrow for one of her doctorate classes. It's 2 very long days long. Pray that she has safe travel and does well in her class.

8. Our niece, Aubrie, is having her 4th birthday this Saturday. I can't believe how fast she is growing and learning. She is so smart, funny, and beautiful. I think you could safely say that Zach and I are so very proud to be her Uncle and Aunt! We love you very much, Aubrie! (Don't worry, I won't forget pictures of this occasion... hopefully!)

9. Zach is getting a promotion at work! He is going to be a foreman himself and have his own crew! We are so proud of him!!

10. Nellie wants to go for a walk, so we are going to go! We've got to both get into shape!

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!

Bumpdate: 41 weeks!

How Far along: 41 weeks.   Baby's size: Size of a jack fruit!  Around 7.5 lbs. (I think he's going to be about 8 lbs and Zach's official guess is 9 lbs. 2 oz.  I hope he's wrong!) Weight loss/gain: 30 lbs. (So glad the weight gain is slowing down!) Sleep: I told Zach I no longer am even trying to keep track of how much I am getting up to go to the bathroom. Gender: B-O-Y Movement:  He has been back to his super active little self this week.  Best Moment of this week:  Getting to spend time at home together now that we're finished with the old house.  Also, the 3 day weekend!  We didn't sleep in, much, but we figure that's all about to end anyway! Looking Forward: Getting to meet our baby boy.  I think it will be a little weird, because I truly don't feel like I'm finished being pregnant yet.  But, alas, we pretty much have to follow Dr.'s orders. Food cravings: Still pineapple!  ...
