Ten on Thursday... on Friday

1. First of all, the reason I am a day late on this is because yesterday was filled with school and then babysitting until 1 this morning!

2. Second, Zach and I would like to introduce the newest addition to our family! We got our little girl on Wednesday and it has been a whirlwind ever since! Her name is Nellie and the people we got her from said she was born in August. So she is about 11 weeks old. She is an adorable little Beagle Hound.

3. Nellie is going to be a house dog and I have never had one inside before. We need some good tips for house training and crate training.

4. I signed up for the Praxis II tests today. They are tests bases on Elementary Ed Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment along with two tests for my reading minor. I am so nervous for them and hope to find some good study stuff! (I kind of have to pass them to get my teaching license after all! : ) )

5. Zach is loving his new job! I am so thankful that he is doing something he enjoys! We are so grateful that he has the opportunity to work in this down economy!

6. About an hour after we brought Nellie home Zach was already on the computer searching "How to train your beagle dog to hunt rabbits." I think we both have different agendas for her!

7. Tomorrow at church we are having a "Road Rally" which is like a scavenger hunt where you drive from place to place following clues until you get to the final destinaion, where supper is served. It should be fun!

8. Tomorrow is also the first day of muzzleloading in Kentucky, so that is Zach's plan for tomorrow while I'm at the road rally with Mama, Daddy, and Mama Joyce.

9. I hate going to Wal-Mart, which I may have mentioned before. I have heard that in big cities you can order your food online and they deliver it to your door. If only we had oodles of money, I would so do that! haha, nice to dream, huh?

10. I found out where I am student teaching in the spring. I will be at Loge School in Boonville, IN. For those of you that this means nothing to, it is 20 miles from our house! I was a little upset when I found out because I was expecting to be in Evansville. There were so few spaces in Evansville though, several people were placed in neighboring counties. I will be with a first grade classroom for 8 weeks and a third grade classroom for the last 8 weeks. I am trying to get excited for it because I know it'll still be a great experience!  It's just always nerve-wracking when you don't know anyone there!

That's all for now! I will try to post some pictures of our sweet Nellie girl later today!

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
