1. Yesterday was snow day #5 in my third week of student teaching!
2. Today was the 100th day of school and I even made a nice little "100s display." My kids were so impressed by it. I will have to post a picture of it!
3. Zach has started to tear down the awful tile ceiling in our family room. Then we will have to spackle (I'm not so sure of the spelling on that) the ceiling and paint. I hope it's as easy as I make it sound.
4. Zach is also going to put in a new ceiling fan with a light in our living room. For those of you, well all of you, that haven't seen our house, there is no light fixture in our living room. We just have a lamp and it does not light the room very well. I am soooo excited to have the light and to have a brighter, less depressing family room!
5. We went out to eat with our friends Kevin and Aaron tonight. We have barely seen them since the wedding and it was nice to catch up. They did love to remind us however we are just old married people who shouldn't stay out past 7:30! Ha!
6. Yesterday was our 7 month anniversary of marriage. As Zach says, it doesn't "count," but I still like to take note of it! And I'm pretty sure after our 1 year anniversary I will stop counting months. It does seem unreal though that we are that much closer to our 1 year anniversary! It really doesn't seem like its been that long since our wedding. Hopefully we will be able to plan something fun for our anniversary though!
7. Nellie has been sleeping with us in our bed for the past few nights. Before you judge, hear us out. The little stinker will sleep the whole night like a rock in bed with us. In her crate she bangs around, shakes her ears, and whines every few hours. She also doesn't even get up to go to the bathroom until I get up. In her crate she wakes up at, well, really anytime she wants to. Sometimes, 3, 4, or 5. I am thinking if we go ahead and get her the next size crate and see if she is more comfortable in it, because I know it's not a good habit to let her sleep with us. But gosh, it sure is cute to feel her cuddle up next to you! : ) So anyway, until we get her that new crate, you know where to find her between the hours of 10 and 6!
8. I think I mentioned in a previous post that I was going to babysit overnight this past weekend. Well, let's just say after the night, I was telling Zach I don't ever ever ever want children! Probably a teensy bit dramatic, but oh boy did we have a rough night. The little girl was actually sick, but her brother was the one who woke up 8 times during the night! I think I got a 3 hour stretch of sleep in there, and otherwise I was basically awake all night. It just really reminded me that I am so so so so so not ready to be up all hours of the night exhausted with a baby, no matter how cute he/she would be! So after saying all that stuff about that, Nellie-girl, we love you and appreciate that you are in some ways not so much like a baby! We will just enjoy you for a year... or five!!! : )
9. Zach is still working on building his AR-15. He is very into it, and it sweet to see how excited he is about it! A man's gotta have a hobby, I suppose!
10. I had my first visit from my university supervisor this week while I taught a math lesson. She is the one from USI who will support me and evaluate my teaching skills. She is so sweet and had nothing but compliments! I was so relieved as I had been so nervous for it. I definitely know I have lots of work still to do, but it is good to know I am doing something right! I feel more and more each day that I am doing what the Lord has called me to do and I am trusting him to place me in a job I will be most useful in!
