Zach and Nathana

This year I'm giving ya'll the top 22 things I'm Thankful for, since I am after all, 22 years old! 1. I am in constant thanks for the life I've been given through Christ dying for me with the promise I can spend forever with him. I am so undeserving, but he loves me anyway. 2. I am so very thankful for Zach. God has given me a best friend, confidant, and husband. He is so kind to me, loves me, and makes me laugh. He keeps me in check when I get a little crazy and holds me when I need to cry. I am so blessed to call him my husband, and I love getting to spend time together. 3. I am thankful for our Nellie Girl. We are so blessed that we decided one day to get a dog, and that God set aside Nellie for us. She is such a stinker sometime, but she has my heart, so she rarely gets in trouble. She's my little companion when Zach is gone and she is always willing to howl when she fears trouble is around. (Which is usually just her imagination.) She makes anyone she...

1. Friday I covered a 5th grade class in the afternoon. Let's just say that Friday was a loooong day. I know every grade is different, but you wouldn't believe the difference between even 4th and 5th. Whoa! I was perfectly content returning them to their teacher! 2. Friday afternoon Zach went hunting so Nellie and hung out and did dishes and a little laundry. When Zach got home we had broccoli deer braids for supper. Yum! Then we were uncharacteristically spontaneous, changed out of our pajamas, went to Target, bought 2 pints of ice cream, and the movie, "Just Go With It." Which is hilarious, by the way! It was such a great night to simply relax as a family. 3. Saturday morning we slowly and eventually woke up, loaded up Nellie, and went to my Mama and Daddy's. We dropped off Nellie and went back to town to look at Memories, an Antique shop in Henderson. Each year, the owner's mom, who is in her 80's (I think) hand makes ornaments with old jewelry, materia...

1. Saturday I went to IHOP and Sam's club with Elizabeth. We got to have all sorts of samples and see all of the Christmas stuff! 2. I also made a Christmas wreath with a wreath form, glitter paper, and a hot glue gun. Unfortunatley, Zach won't let me put it up until after Thanksgiving, so you'll have to wait a little bit longer to see it! 3. On Sunday Daddy, Suzannne, and I went to church, then Hunan's, and Rural King. I bought myself a lil' pumpkin to carve and Zach a two-man ladder stand. He was so surprised when he came home and saw me with it in the driveway! 4. Mama and Mama Joyce spent 1/2 week at Vanderbilt with Uncle Reid this week as well. It appears my Daddy did not starve, even in their absence. Haha. 5. On Halloween, we were grinches I guess, because we left candy on our front porch and left the house to find good place to hunt. Zach had to scope out the place for his new stand. 6. At Sam's Club I found the cutest baby outfits for Ryan and Kayleigh...
