Introducing our Ten on Thursday

So, I've seen a couple people do something called "Ten on Thursday" or any other number that starts with the same letter as a day of the week. I am just going to try out doing 10, and if that doesn't work, I'll find one with less! : )

1. Well, Zach and I have been on a vicious mouse hunt since I spotted the little mongrel last Thursday morning. At the time I was bound and determined to have him caught by the next morning. Well, this mouse, deemed, "Jerry" was very clever and ate the peanut butter off of the mouse traps 3 days in a row. Needless to say I was less than impressed with our 4 mouse traps for $1.00 deal! haha, lesson learned there I guess! Some things you just can't skimp on! So anyway, last night Zach and I got sticky traps and this morning, voila... the little mouse was stuck on it! I was going to take a picture to post, but thought that may be a little crude! : ) So anyway, my brave husband took care of it, and as far as we can tell we are a mouse-free home again! Yay!! : )

2. This week I started my fourth (and last) year of college!! I am taking 18 hours again with 2 night classes, 1 late afternoon class, 1 online class, and 2 classes that meet in the middle of the day. It is definitely weird only having two classes that meet during the day.

3. Driving to school is also MUCH different than living on campus. It was so nice to be able to wake up at 8:30 for a 9:00 class and then simply run on up to campus. Parking at good ole USI can be summed up in one word: Nightmare! And I'm not even sure that quite covers it. I was warned by friends that have already been commuting for a while that you had to get there SUPER early to get a spot, but WOW I had no idea it could be as bad as it was! On Tuesday, I had to drive around for 20 minutes and only got a spot because I happened across a person pulling out of a spot! I was also on the other side of campus from my class and then had to walk/run to barely make it to my class on time! Today however, I got a spot right near my building as soon as I arrived! (Although I DID leave at 9:30 today for my 10:30 class!)

4. Zach is sooooo excited for Deer season. When we lay in bed at night he will ask, "Are you excited for deer season? I am!" haha, I can't say I am counting down the hours like he is, but I am glad he has something to look forward to.

5. Tonight we had our friends, Ryan and Kayleigh, over for supper. I made Lasagna and a White chocolate strawberry pie. The pie turned out so cute and tasted so light and fluffy! I meant to get a picture of it to post, but we had already cut our pieces by the time I thought of it!

6. Tomorrow we are going out to eat with our friends, Christine and Cole, to Olive Garden for the never-ending pasta bowls! I know I will only eat the one bowl, but it is a great price and Christine and I LOVE their Pumpkin Cheesecake that they have in the fall, so we always get it and split a piece! It is uh-maz-ing! If you like pumpkin, you have to try it!

7. My retainers won't fit. Well my top one for my teeth won't. I didn't wear it at all for about two weeks and that was a bad thing. If my teeth get crooked now after all the orthodontic work I've had my mom is going to kill me!

8. My aunts and uncles on my mom's side bought us 8 place settings of our China for our wedding and it arrived in the mail this past week! Now if only we will have an occasion to use it.

9. I hate not having a dishwasher. In our next house, we are not buying/building it without a big honking space for a dishwasher!!!

10. This weekend is a four day weekend for us since I don't have class tomorrow! Wahoo!

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
