Weekly Wrap Up

Hmm, to be to the point, Thursdays lately just haven't worked out so well for blogging. So me, myself, and I created a new alliteration... Weekly Wrap Up. I think if I post on the weekend it will be a little easier to stick to. I digress....

This past week was in the fewest words, "ideal." My days at work went by quickly, time at home went by at a good pace, and altogether the week went by fast! This makes for one happy gal.

During the week I got to hang out with Theresa, the mother of Ben, Becca, and Claire! (Whom I have mentioned before! We love those sweet babies!) We had way too much fun eating pizza and celebrating her cousin's birthday and then talking about anything and everything. I just love their family and am so glad that they love having Zach and I over!

Wednesday night we went out to Olive Garden with Zach's parents, Jessie, Freddie, and Aubrie. We wanted to see his parents before they headed off on a wonderful vacation! If only we could have hopped on the plane with them! Haha.

Thursday I got so wrapped up in exercising that I forgot to watch the new episode of The Office! Sad, until I remembered I can watch it online! Seriously, what did I do before the internet!?

Speaking of exercise, since the beginning of the week I have lost about another 2 lbs, which brings my total weight loss to 15 lbs! Woo hoo! I am so excited and proud, but obviously pushing on until I reach my goal. Also, I can't honestly see a great difference in pictures that I have taken (okay, forced Zach to take) so I can monitor my progress. Possibly I am just the one who can't see it? Hmm, not sure about it yet. I'm gonna keep on keepin' on though so that when someone else notices I can really enjoy it! (And never fear, I shall never and I say neh-he-ver subject ya'll to seeing my swimsuit pictures. Unless of course it is like my "reach goal one." But no, definitely NOT the before!) Sorry, just didn't want to make ya'll nervous! Haha.

On Friday, Elizabeth and I went shopping and checked out JC Penney's new pricing deal (not going to lie, I nearly had a breakdown in the store. Problem with change? Party of one!), then went to Qdoba for dinner. It was new for the both of us, but was pretty good, and we should be a little more prepared to order next time. Us poor girls, so very very indecisive!

Today Zach and I slept until 9:00 a.m, which we haven't done in quite a while! I can attest that it was heavenly! We indulged with heart shaped Chick-fil-a chicken biscuits for breakfast followed by a quick browse at the local flea market. I felt very dirty afterwards, there's just something yuck about it! Then we went home and watched Courageous. My words tonight can't describe how it made me or Zach feel. I do know I pretty much cried the whole movie. There was some sadness, but also for the hope in it. Mainly it is showing men how to be Godly leaders of their family and a Godly father. Afterward I told Zach that he was going to have such a hard job, but I knew that there was no better man I would want to be in that position for my family. Thank goodness we don't have to worry about all that parenting stuff just yet. We do already pray about that though!

This afternoon we went to Taco Bell and Merchants Outlet to look for Zach a new reloading table, but didn't find exactly what he had in mind. Then we went to Target to find a dessert and we got Pillsbury's Sweet Moment bites. They are brownies with caramel covered in chocolate and were soooo good!

It's about sleepy time in our house, so hopefully you could follow my train of thought. I'm not even sure if I had one! I hope you all had a good week as well and have a great rest of the weekend!

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

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!
