Christmas Time Is Here Again

Our Second Christmas
Our First Christmas
Bells are ringing, and children (well, usually me actually) are singing, soon it will be Christmas Day! 11 days to be exact! Wow, it seems like last year's Christmas was just here!
In good old Kentucky/ not so great Indiana, Nathana is enduring the very stressful week of finals. She did get her Literature Focus Unit done and turned in today, so that's like the weight of the world off of her shoulders. Only 3 more finals to go and she's FREE! Looking forward to a nice 3 week or so break! She will still have to work, but the daycare's numbers will be so low during the next two weeks, she won't have to work every single day.
Zach is still at Mickey D's and has found out that he may not be going to the lineman class until February OR APRIL! It is getting frustrating because they keep telling him a date and keep pushing it back. The lady in charge is about to get a call from a stressed bride demanding her future husband not be away at school when he is supposed to be getting married!!!
Any how, we are getting in the Christmas spirit and I think each year I realize more and more how much Christmas means to me. How amazing to think if you were Mary, and found out you were a virgin who was pregnant! I just could never even imagine it! She and Joseph had so much faith, so it makes me feel a little bad when I won't hand over even the small worries I carry around to the Lord. I'm trying though, and I hope he doesn't get tired of all the school work he hears about. In times where this is the "Holiday" season, we're keeping ours the CHRISTmas season!
We'll have lots of Christmas pictures from this year coming too! We're celebrating with Zach's Mom's side on the 19th, his dad's side on Christmas Eve, with my family and my mom's side on the 25th, and then with my dad's side on the 26th. It's our first time collaborating on holiday events, and I'm so glad it's worked out that we can get everywhere! I feel so blessed that everyone lives pretty close to one another. Next year we'll be celebrating Christmas as a family united in marriage, and I can't begin to express in words how thankful, blessed, and EXCITED I am for that. I really do think I am the luckiest woman in the whole world and just need to remember that when circumstances are trying to dampen my spirit!
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
Love, Zach and Nathana

Valentine's Day and the Quickest Weekend Ever

Valentine's morning I treated myself to a heart-shaped chicken biscuit from Chick-fil-a.  They were BOGO free AND I got a survey for a free chicken sandwich.  That in and of itself made my day! : )                                                       Friday evening Zach and I tried to go out for Valentine's Day.  We thought we were early enough to beat the rush, but it turned out we weren't.   We ended up going back home with a quick stop through Donut Bank to get dessert and then we had a DiGiorno pizza and watched the Olympics.  Can you feel the romance? Haha.                                                                                                     Yummy Whoopie Pie!                                                                                          My Valentine! Saturday morning began gloriously at 9:20 a.m. It seems like it's been forever since I slept that late, but it was wonderful!  I met my friend, Jennifer, and he

Christmas Eve

Our Christmas festivities started with Zach's family on Christmas Eve!  We opened presents and ate!  I'll let the pictures do most of the talking!  As you can see, Christmas is so more magical when there are little ones to spoil! : ) Mrs. Claus house shoes from Nana and Poppy!  Mmmmm, paper!  We got Zach's dad a long magnet on wheels.  We hope he liked it!! Haha, it was one of those gifts that was more of a necessity I think!  She was excited!  We are glad she liked it!  We got Zach's mom a record player that is a 5-in-1 system!  Isaiah's sweater we got him!  Its pockets are in the shape of monkey hands too, so I couldn't resist how cute it was!  He is a cute little monkey too!  Book set from us!  Love If You Give A Mouse.... series!  He is saying. "Ohhh, paper!  I love that!"  Make-up set from us!  He looooved the paper!  Isaiah opening his Leap Frog laptop from us!  He lik

Ten on Thursday

1. Zach is on Spring Break this week! Even if it is just from his one class, we still enjoyed it! I actually got to have him with me all last night! 2. I am almost done with my first week in third grade. So far, so good! The kids seem to really like me and I'm becoming rather fond of them as well! 3. I was working out last night and accidentally kicked Nellie in the side of her head. She is okay, but Zach may still be dying of laughter! I felt awful and was trying to pick her up as she was trying to scurry away from me. She must have thought I did it intentionally! Poor baby! She got lots of hugs and kisses after that though! 4. We have kept our sink free of dirty dishes for over a week now! This may not sound like such a feat, but trust me, when you don't have a dishwasher, it is! 5. Tomorrow is the "Spring Fling" carnival at my school. I am going to help set it up after school, which should be fun! 6. Warrick County School Corporation announced this past week that t
