Ten on Thursday...

That is actually on a Thursday!





1. My work load feels like a heavy burden that has been lifted since I completed and submitted my portfolio Sunday night! It was my last undergraduate assignment to turn in, and let me tell you, it felt wonderful, amazing, relieving, any word you can think of for "good," that's how it felt!





2. I am praying that I get more interviews so I can find a job!


3. Since I'm on a "me" kick, I would like to continue my countdown to graduation. It's only 10 days away!





4. I only have 6 days of student teaching left. This leaves me bewildered and astounded that it is has flown by so quickly and befuddled because I have a constant voice in my head saying What will you do if you don't get a job? Then I remember that I am not supposed to worry: Cast all your anxiety on him for he cares for you.- (1 peter 5:7) I like that voice in my head much better than my own thoughts. We, or should I say, I, need to fully put it in His hands so that he can take care of me! I am soooo working on improving this!





5. Enough about moi, let's move on to current events and the rest of my family. Zach's company truck broke down on Tuesday this week, leaving them stranded on the side of the road on Henderson. Nellie girl and I hopped in the car and went to pick Zach and his co-worker up. They were walking down the highway with their lunchboxes and were pretty dirty, so Nellie didn't recognize Zach. Let's not forget she has never even seen the other man before. So naturally when I slow down, pull over, and they start walking towards the car, she transitions to defense mode and starts barking at them! It was hilarious, because she never, ever acts this way towards people. It was also comforting to me, because I feel if there was something or someone was trying to hurt me, she would go into defense mode!

6. Our Easter was lovely! Too bad I left my camera at home and I have no pictures to show. I'll try to get the ones off of my daddy's camera.

7. My Mama leaves for Montana tomorrow for one of her doctorate classes. It's 2 very long days long. Pray that she has safe travel and does well in her class.

8. Our niece, Aubrie, is having her 4th birthday this Saturday. I can't believe how fast she is growing and learning. She is so smart, funny, and beautiful. I think you could safely say that Zach and I are so very proud to be her Uncle and Aunt! We love you very much, Aubrie! (Don't worry, I won't forget pictures of this occasion... hopefully!)

9. Zach is getting a promotion at work! He is going to be a foreman himself and have his own crew! We are so proud of him!!

10. Nellie wants to go for a walk, so we are going to go! We've got to both get into shape!

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
