Let's Play Catch up!

Starting with...
1. Labor day September 5th. We got to sleep in and then went out and about looking for a new bed/ mattress set! We found a great deal at Baumberger's and are still waiting for them to come in. : ( I know it's not been that long, but I just can't wait to get them and sleep on them!

2. That afternoon we went to Zach's parents to cook out. It was freezing, so I got a cold/sinus infection! Boo, but we still had fun!

3. This 4 day work week seemed every bit as long as a 5 day one!

4. I am developing a highly undesirable raccoon tan on my face from bus duty. I told my principal I needed compensation! Haha

5. Zach has night classes a couple of nights, so Nellie and I usually go on a walk and I do my elliptical. Then Nellie makes me super paranoid by walking around growling and cowering like she's scared. I thought she'd be my little fearless protector, but we're thinking not!

6. We picked out our bed and I actually went out and bought it on Friday. I was by myself in Zach's Explorer, so thank goodness that the ladies helped me pack the huge thing in. I was able to carry the rails in when I got home by myself, but the main part weighed over 100 lbs, so he had to help me with that. We put the headboard together tonight! I'll get pictures up as soon as we get our mattress in!

7. Zach worked Saturday, so Nellie and I went to Mama and Daddy's. Nellie stayed with her Grandpa while Mama and I went to my cousin,
Neil's, wedding shower. I think Nellie had lots of fun with Grandpa!

8. Today was the first Sunday that Zach has had Sunday off (except his surgery) since June. We got to go to church together and I can barely explain how happy I was to be in church with him worshipping together! Hopefully it won't be so long before his next Sunday off again!

9. Zach is settling in to his semester of school and I am falling into my routine at school. Pray that both continue to go well for us. I know I've said it before, but I am so proud of Zach going to school, and I hope he learns so much this semester!

10. I get my first paycheck this Friday! It's been a long while since my last summer camp check, so we are super excited and super ready for my "big" aide pay! God is so good! I am loving what I am doing and can not imagine doing anything else!

I hope everyone has a great week!

Family room re-do featuring.... my curtains! : )

For a while now, we've planned on finally finishing our family room.  That's right, it's kind of been unfinished for the entire time we've lived there.  It was painted and decorated, just no molding and the ceiling was hideous because we (and by we, I mean Zach) took down the drop ceiling the previous owners had put up.  So, anyway, I looked at curtains and didn't really find anything I liked, so I decided I was going to make my own.  Zach and I looked at Jo-Ann's a couple times and each time we looked I liked this fabric more and more.  It was the most expensive fabric I've ever bought, but in the end, it was sooooo worth it! (*Note- I bought the fabric in January before NSM! : )) Here we are at Mama Joyce's one day after church cutting the panels.  I think we were all nervous to cut it.  It was too costly to mess up! Fast forward a couple weeks because I didn't have time, was lazy, and also scared to sew on it, and I finally just delved in an...

Turns out...

Third grade is not bad at all! The kids are still pretty sweet and are so excited for me to be there and I am excited too! I think it will be fun to see all that they can do and have fun with them. Yesterday I received 5 notes on my desk about how excited that I was there and about how much fun we were going to have. I think they are right! Hopefully I get the hang of them quickly, because I start teaching Science (Mon and Wed), Social Studies(Tues and Thur), and PE (Fri) next week!

Bumpdate: 41 weeks!

How Far along: 41 weeks.   Baby's size: Size of a jack fruit!  Around 7.5 lbs. (I think he's going to be about 8 lbs and Zach's official guess is 9 lbs. 2 oz.  I hope he's wrong!) Weight loss/gain: 30 lbs. (So glad the weight gain is slowing down!) Sleep: I told Zach I no longer am even trying to keep track of how much I am getting up to go to the bathroom. Gender: B-O-Y Movement:  He has been back to his super active little self this week.  Best Moment of this week:  Getting to spend time at home together now that we're finished with the old house.  Also, the 3 day weekend!  We didn't sleep in, much, but we figure that's all about to end anyway! Looking Forward: Getting to meet our baby boy.  I think it will be a little weird, because I truly don't feel like I'm finished being pregnant yet.  But, alas, we pretty much have to follow Dr.'s orders. Food cravings: Still pineapple!  ...
