Nellie update- The recovery process

As of today, it's been 3 weeks 4 days since Nellie's surgery, and believe me, all 3 of us have been counting!  We have still had to carry her up and down the stairs for pottying, while on the leash.  She's been on strict cage-rest, but we've let her lay with us on the floor and couch some too.  On a couple occasions in the past week, she's jumped on the couch, and then we put her in the kennel.  I feel terrible when she does it, but thankfully it hasn't happened much.  The first week she was still pretty calm, but these last two weeks she is like a pent-up energizer bunny.  We have to work hard to get her to walk, not jump up, and to stay quiet.  As I type, though, she is sacked out next to me on the couch.  We can't wait for her re-check appointment when she will be released to normal activity.  I'm betting Zach will be the most excited, as he doesn't like having to take her out on the leash!  Haha! 

Now, for the little lady of the hour month...

My fur is growing back!

Laying on my Bitsy blanket from my Mary Ruth!  (It was her dog, Bitsy's!)

With my Daddy on Father's day!  I got him his Kentucky Hunting License!  He says I'm the BEST!

Feigning pitifulness... not for the weak!

Umm, yes?  Hello, Gwandma?  Nana?  Ya'll need to come rescue me from Mama. She won't stop taking my picture!


Oh my, her Daddy had too much Dairy Queen!

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...
