Ten on Thursday

Happy Thursday!
1. We have great news! Zach got a job that starts next thursday! He will work for Direct TV installing satellite systems. He hopes to do this until he can re-apply for the electrical union next year.

2. I will be subbing at the daycare where I used to work next week. They called because they are short staffed, so I guess I will welcome the opportunity to make a little money!

3. I am actually ready for fall this year. After this incredibly HOT summer, it is nice to feel a little chill in the air! I am also looking forward to decorating for all of the major holidays coming up! I think it is a little different and more exciting when it's your own home!

4. Zach's family reunion was good this weekend. I even remembered some of the people's names from last year. There was lots of good food and conversation.

5. While at the family reunion, Zach and I took Aubrie fishing. For some reason he was using "snack stiks" as bait. These are basically the odds and ends cut off of jerky that are packaged and sold really cheap. Well, guess who loved them? Aubrie! It was so precious, each time she would say, "Can I have just one more!" To which of course I replied, "Yes, one more!" They were a little spicy though so I did try to keep from giving her too many of them.

6. Zach made Philly Cheese Steak Sandwiches for supper and they were pretty good! We couldn't find the kind of canned cheese that people put on them at carnivals, but we got something that was kind of similar.

7. Tomorrow we are going to mow the grass at Mama Joyce's and maybe, just maybe if it is warm enough we will hop in the pool for a swim before it has to be closed up for the season.

8. We have a spider who lives outside our kitchen door right under the light. If you know me, I stomp on spiders and giggle with glee usually, but for once I am looking at things logically. Number 1, he is not in my house. Number 2, he is not hurting me and never gets out of his web. Number 3, He is always out when I get back from night class or if we go to wal-mart in the evening, so in a way he is kind of like our little greeter. So therefore, I am going to let him live out his little spider life, trapping all the little bugs that might come his way. However, should he decide to come into the house, he is going to be one flat spider! : ) Oh, and his name is "Waldo," according to Zach.

9. We are fixing to go see "The Switch" with Jennifer Aniston. Let's hope it's good!

10. I saw a preview on TLC for a new series called "Sister wives." It's about a polygamist who is married to three women. Can we say "WHAAAAT?" The commercials are disturbing enough, so I can't imagine what the show would be like. Needless to say, I don't believe we'll be watching that one!

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

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
