Ten on Thursday

Hmm, who's a slacker? I am! Since we've established that over the last few weeks, we'll just lay that to rest and I'll have you remember that every Thursday so you don't have to wonder why Nathana hasn't posted yet! Sound peachy?

So this past week
1. On Friday, summer camp went to New Generation Dairy Farm and let me to tell you, I even learned new things about cows! The kids loved it and enjoyed petting a baby calf most of all. I have to say it brought back so many memories of all of our cows at Papa and Mama Joyce's. It also made me miss all of them, which led to me asking Zach if we could get some cows when I got home! : ) I even scored a "We'll see." That's not a no!!

2. Then our weekend rolled around. Zach worked both Saturday and Sunday, so therefore, I spent those days at Mama Joyce's in the pool. I figure I may as well build up a nice tan before we go to Florida.

3. Speaking of, we will be IN Florida a month from now! I can't tell you how many times these past fews weeks I have been tired or frustrated and just the idea of it has soothed me. Sounds silly, but it's so very true.

4. Also in exciting news, our FIRST anniversary is a mere week from this Sunday. So many thoughts run through my head when I think about that fact. Happiness, disbelief, excitement, down right giddiness knowing that I have been the wife to my best friend for almost an entire year... The list can go on, but that'll probably go along with documenting our anniversary.

5. Zach has also been in the works of planning our anniversary activities (with some help from my Dad.) Sweet, since they are the two best men in my life!

6. Also, while I am bragging on Zach, he fixed our closet this week! The rod has been broken around 3 weeks and we just didn't find the time to tend to it. I came home and just happened to open the closet and find it in an even better condition than it was before! We now have two curtain rods so it can hold even more! Thanks for the hard work, sweetie!

7. I have cooked two week nights this week! That may not sound like a whole lot, but believe me, it is! We had chicken parm one night and homemade pizza another. Then one night we had salsa and chips, lucky charms, and pie. Don't judge, sometimes it just happens when no one feels like cooking!

8. Today we went to the movies and saw The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. I had read the book when I was younger, but could remember very little of the plot. Therefore the whole movie was a surprise to me. Our friend Ryan said he didn't like it, but I thought it was really good, especially when you consider all of the Christian based parallels that C.S. Lewis wrote into the stories.

9. This week I finally did the dishes. That's pretty much all you need to know, not so much the details of how long the icky dishes may have sat there. I will say it feels good to have them all done and not have to worry about them. I wish house work could just do itself, or we could have a free maid... oh wait, that's me.

10. Our bath tub has been stopping up lately. At first it would just take a couple hours to drain, and at the longest, it took 36 hours to drain. Talk about ri-dic-u-lous. After Zach snaking it and using FIVE different kinds of drain clog remover products, it is just as clogged as ever. Anybody an expert plumber out there who wants to help us out? I'm tired of taking 5 minute showers and feeling that my feet may be less that clean. (Never fear though, we all get clean in our house!)

We are looking forward to a full weekend with Zach working and I am doing a yard sale with Ryan and Kayleigh Saturday and then going with my family to see my grandparents for Father's Day.

Valentine's Day and the Quickest Weekend Ever

Valentine's morning I treated myself to a heart-shaped chicken biscuit from Chick-fil-a.  They were BOGO free AND I got a survey for a free chicken sandwich.  That in and of itself made my day! : )                                                       Friday evening Zach and I tried to go out for Valentine's Day.  We thought we were early enough to beat the rush, but it turned out we weren't.   We ended up going back home with a quick stop through Donut Bank to get dessert and then we had a DiGiorno pizza and watched the Olympics.  Can you feel the romance? Haha.                                                                                                     Yummy Whoopie Pie!                                                                                          My Valentine! Saturday morning began gloriously at 9:20 a.m. It seems like it's been forever since I slept that late, but it was wonderful!  I met my friend, Jennifer, and he

Ten on Thursday

1. Zach is on Spring Break this week! Even if it is just from his one class, we still enjoyed it! I actually got to have him with me all last night! 2. I am almost done with my first week in third grade. So far, so good! The kids seem to really like me and I'm becoming rather fond of them as well! 3. I was working out last night and accidentally kicked Nellie in the side of her head. She is okay, but Zach may still be dying of laughter! I felt awful and was trying to pick her up as she was trying to scurry away from me. She must have thought I did it intentionally! Poor baby! She got lots of hugs and kisses after that though! 4. We have kept our sink free of dirty dishes for over a week now! This may not sound like such a feat, but trust me, when you don't have a dishwasher, it is! 5. Tomorrow is the "Spring Fling" carnival at my school. I am going to help set it up after school, which should be fun! 6. Warrick County School Corporation announced this past week that t

Christmas Eve

Our Christmas festivities started with Zach's family on Christmas Eve!  We opened presents and ate!  I'll let the pictures do most of the talking!  As you can see, Christmas is so more magical when there are little ones to spoil! : ) Mrs. Claus house shoes from Nana and Poppy!  Mmmmm, paper!  We got Zach's dad a long magnet on wheels.  We hope he liked it!! Haha, it was one of those gifts that was more of a necessity I think!  She was excited!  We are glad she liked it!  We got Zach's mom a record player that is a 5-in-1 system!  Isaiah's sweater we got him!  Its pockets are in the shape of monkey hands too, so I couldn't resist how cute it was!  He is a cute little monkey too!  Book set from us!  Love If You Give A Mouse.... series!  He is saying. "Ohhh, paper!  I love that!"  Make-up set from us!  He looooved the paper!  Isaiah opening his Leap Frog laptop from us!  He lik
