The big 3-0-0

This is my 300th post!!  Hopefully I have not been boring for all of them!!  How about a little life catch up?  Our weekends have been busy ever since September, and I don't see them slowing down any before Christmas is said and done.  One might find this tiring, but I love knowing that there are so many people in my life that I want to do things with and that want to have me around!

My school weeks have been flying by.  I am coordinating a program called Strengthening Families on Tuesday nights at my school and I look forward to it every week.  I really feel like I am bonding with the families that come and that I am helping them.  I love it!

Zach's weeks are busy as he works a lot of days and is going to school.  A year from now he will be graduating and so much will change.  I hate (well, not really) to get sappy, but I am just so very proud of him.  I can barely put into words what him graduating will mean for our family.  Two incomes, a move (Yay!), and many more exciting thing!  I am terrible about wishing time away, so I truly am enjoying the time between now and graduation. 
 

We've gone hunting a few times!


Zach killed his first teal duck!

Nellie has been her normal rotten self!

I am making a gallery wall!  Finished picture to come soon!

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!  ...
