Blog every day in May- Day 12

Day 12- What do you miss?

I miss my Papa.  The way his farm was when he was still alive.  I miss our gentle cows, the snorting pigs, and clucking chickens that we always chased.  I miss hearing him call me "Little Bit," the nickname set aside just for me since I was a "little bit" of a thing when I was born.  I miss his infectious laugh.  I can hear it now in my head.  I miss hearing him call the cows in and then me trying it too. "Suuuuuuuu-zzzzzzy!" he'd call, and they'd all come round.  There are so many, many things I miss about that man.  What I would give for him to have met Zach.  I think he would have loved him!

I miss life being truly "easy."  While I appreciate all that Zach and I have, I had it pretty easy when I was younger and under my parents' roof.  I hope we can provide that same sense of security for our own children.

I miss college a little bit when I think about the carefree time Zach and I got to spend together.  Although, I definitely wouldn't trade where we are not to go back to college days.  It's nice to reminisce about those times together though.

On a less heavy note,  I really miss the New York and Company store that we had in Evansville.  It's where I got the majority of my clothes and I definitely haven't found a store to "replace" it.  So sad!

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...
