Nellie's surgery- part 1

Nellie went back to the Dr. June 3, and when we got there, Dr. Hodshon told us she wanted to wait one more day before doing surgery, since she would would have a little more time the next day and could start earlier.  For 1/2 a second I thought they were asking us to take her home again, but the Dr. quickly told us that they would keep her overnight for free, which helped me feel some better, but of course, I didn't want her to have to be away from us any longer than she had to.  The Dr. also eased my mind by saying they would call me with every step they did in the morning and keep me updated.  So I said my goodbye to Nellie and tried my very best to be brave for her.  I only cried a little as I stroked her little ears and gave her kisses.  Leaving her there knowing she was in pain and probably scared (remember, she's a chicken) just tore my heart apart.  They reassured me she would be getting and I.V. started as soon as she got back in the ICU area and that would keep her pretty drugged.  I did feel better after knowing that hopefully that would be the last time she was feeling pain from her neck!!

Mama and I shopped at the mall some since we were already in Louisville and had already planned on being there all day for Nellie's surgery.  We got Cheesecake from the Cheesecake factory and ate it with our lunch at Chick-fil-a!
The night before we left.  She was practicing her ASPCA face here.

In the car.
 I was so happy when we woke up Tuesday morning and she was feeling good.  She had a terrible day Monday pain-wise, so I had specifically prayed she would feel good in the morning.  God sure did answer my prayers, as she had an excellent and snuggley ride there.  I couldn't thank God enough for that gift alone!
I just loved her little face.  Her lip was curled up and it was just so funny!
The aforementioned Cheesecake at Chick-fil-a! Yum!
 I came home to an empty house, which was a bit depressing, but thankfully the vet called that night and told us that Nellie was adorable (as we already knew) and was tucked in for the night and was veeeerrry comfortable.  Now that I'm thinking back, her exact words were, "She's watching the pink elephants fly!"  Sweet Nellie was drugged up!

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...
