Weekly Wrap-Up November 11-16

On Monday, we had an extremely meaningful and nice Veteran's Day program at my school.  All the students participated, and I think all the Veterans in attendance felt very honored and appreciated.  My kiddos made me very proud! 

Tuesday was Strengthening Families again, and only have 1 more left!!  Hard to believe it's almost over!

On Thursday, Megan and I had a much anticipated Buffalo Wild Wing date accompanied with some DE-LIC-IOUS Cold Stone.   I can still taste it... yum!

Then we went back to the house to watch some of The Office since Megan is working her way through the seasons.  Nellie really loves her aunt Megan!  She was so rotten cuddling up to her and begging to be petted!
On Saturday, Zach and I went hunting in the afternoon.  We walked around a field and finally sat down.  Less than three minutes after sitting down, Zach whisper-yells that he sees a deer.  I had my binoculars out and watched it carefully while he scrambled to get out his shooting sticks and get sighted in.  It was so special, because it was actually the first deer I've seen him shoot.  All the other times it was either me shooting, or we just didn't have any luck.  A few short minutes of looking later, and we found our guy.
My dear and his deer! : )


We teased my Daddy that he was supposed to get the deer in the picture, too!


After our exciting, yet short (Yay!), hunt, we ate supper at my Mama and Daddy's and made pretzels!!  So now I know I can always be a pretzel twister at the mall, if worse comes to worse!! ; )

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....
