Day 8- Wednesday: A piece of advice you have for others. Anything at all.
Hmm, I am not so sure I am a good advice giver, but here it goes.

A lot of people say, "Do what makes you happy, for you will be criticized no matter what your choice." To a point, this statement is a piece of advice I life by. As long as I am using it in accordance with prayer. I try to pray about "big" life decisions, talk extensively with Zach, and weigh the pros and cons before making the final decision. The important part is remembering the road to happiness may not always result in each decision making you happy, but if you are trusting the Lord with your choices, he will ultimately lead you to his happiness plan for you. Also, no matter what you choose, on this Earth, there are going to be lots of people who support your choices and probably even more who will oppose then. It's not their life though, they don't have to live with the results of your decisions! So, always try to do what is best for you and/or your family! I hope that makes sense! It's just about the best advice I can offer!

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....
