Weekend Wrap-Up

I could have combined this w/ Spring Break, but that post was srrrriously long, so I'm being kind!

Saturday was another productive day, despite the yucky, drizzly day that awaited us.  We originally planned to get up early to go to yard sales, but when my alarm awoke me and I heard the rain, I turned that sucker off. We got up and tried to hit up Taco Bell's breakfast so Zach could try it, but they said it would be 8 mins. before anything would be ready.  Umm. No thanks.  This lady has places to go and moo-lah to spend.  So instead we had ever-delicious Chick-Fil-A biscuits.  Heaven on Earth...  We then both picked out some new kicks at Kohl's (which I may or not be getting for my b-day.  Time shall tell! ; ))  Then we meandered to downtown Newburgh in search of a picture frame for a project (to come later this week.  It's not groudbreaking, but it's mine!)  We also were browsing for some kind of cart/hutch to go under the TV now that Zach has it mounted on the wall, but to no avail.  We did end up oohing and ahhing at a couple china cabinets in a couple stores.  In fact, we went back and forth between the two a couple of times, especially once we called my mom to see if we could store it at their house until we have room/ move. (Let's pray for the latter, shall we? : ))  She said they would, so we marched back in again to compare and THEN decided on the one I like best.  Zach offered them a price, and they tried to contact the owners (It's a consignment store) and they couldn't get ahold of them.  The place is closed on Mondays, so hopefully he'll hear back tomorrow!  (But I won't know, because it also may or not be for my bday.  Time shall tell!)  After that, we tried to linger there in case we heard back, so we had lunch at Vecchio's Italian Market, which is a must if your are downtown!  Yum! After that, my sweet husband, took me home to get the Lowe's coupons that I forgot, and then back to Lowe's so I could pick out the paint I needed for said project and the hanging fixtures for the bathroom. (TP holder and towel bars.)

Next, we finally got home and Zach happily watched, laughed, and goaded me while I put up two of the holders.  He had the best time using the same phrases and expressions that he says I do while he does projects.  He also proclaimed he thinks I was just pretending I didn't know how to do things the past 7 years so that he'd do them for me!  Hmm, he may have my number on that one!  ; )  I have to say, I've never been prouder of a hand towel and TP holder as those!
Ignore the still-ugly electrical cover!
See the beautifulness?  












We also started my project that I will show you soon!  I was feeling quite crafty!  I am writing this post a week later, and I can't remember what we did Sat. night.  Just a reminder I need to blog sooner! Gahh!

 On Sunday, we went to Sunday school and church, to Mama Joyce's for lunch and then came home.  Zach was going to run the cable for the TV under the house and while doing so, discovered that the pipe coming from the shower had come apart.  (Sucked sooooooo bad!)  Luckily, his parents had a pump, and they brought it to us so we could get the water out.  Nellie though that water smelled good apparently, because the little stinker rolled and rolled in it when we weren't looking. : /  She then received her second bath in 5 days... she wasn't thrilled, but then again, neither was I!!!

That night I finally assembled the table my mom got us for our deck.  It was super easy to put together, and looks pretty cute.  We then grilled for the first time this year!!  BBQ pork chops (I can not do regular pork chops) and green beans.  

The Grill master!
That closed out my spring break, and I have to say I wasn't ready to go back to work, but I was ready to see my kids!

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...
