Weekly Wrap-Up

Monday we went to Qdoba and then to the new Roger's Galleria to get my ring checked.  It was so gorgeous and sparkley inside!  (Spell check is telling me that sparkley is not a word, but we all know it is!)  I got my ring sent off to be re-dipped and my finger feels so naked with only my wedding band on!

Tuesday was Strengthening Families night.  It was our 8th week, so we only have 2 left!  It really has gone by so quickly.  I love seeing the families benefiting from all the things we have talked about.  I know that it has really helped some (and hopefully all) of them.

Wednesday and Thursday were really non-eventful days.  Nothing out of the ordinary, but still good days all the same.

Friday I went to Chick-fil-a and while waiting on Mama and Suzanne at Kohl's, I meandered into Petsmart.  Mistake!  A huge mistake... because if one wanders into Petsmart, one will hear puppies, then hold the puppies, and want to take one home.   And then one will be sad when their husband replies a firm "No!" to the text of said cute puppy.  I will give a shout out to New Hope Animal Rescue Center though, as they were the ones bringing the puppies.  They had some cute pups and a couple of sweet adult dogs up for adoption!  If you are looking for an animal to adopt, contact them.  If I could, I'd have taken them all! (And Zach would have had me institutionalized! Ha!)

Moving along, we looked around Kohl's but didn't find much, so then I headed home to help Zach pack up.  We spent the night at my parents' house so we he could go hunting in the morning.  While he was hunting,  I ran errands with Mama Joyce and my sister and I went to Memories Christmas Open House.  Then when I got back, Zach and I went out hunting again.  He saw several does that he could have shot, but passed on all of them.  Once we were both sufficiently frozen and wind-burnt, we headed back to my parents'.  I fixed healthy sloppy joes (I loooooove them) for supper and we watched the puppers play.  Thanks to Mama and Daddy for letting their favorite daughter, son-in-law, and grandpup stay! ; )

Sunday, Zach had to work (BOO!), AND my Mama had to work (BOO again!), so I picked up my Mama Joyce and we went to Sunday School and Church.  When I picked Mama Joyce up, I dropped Nellie off, and she was a naughty girl.  Mama Joyce has a double oven, and the lower one is practically on the floor.  Mama Joyce had a baking pan fully of chicken and sauce in the oven, ready for me to pre-set it when I came in.  Ya'll know where this is going, I assume?  I hear licking, slurping sounds, and a holler from Mama Joyce, and run in to find Nellie quickly licking all the sauce off of the raw chicken.  Gag!  She only got to one piece, so, yes, we went ahead and cooked it.  We figured the heat would kill all the germs, and naturally, you can guess which piece I ate at lunch.  Yes, I love that darn dog... maybe a little too much.  And lest ya'll fear she got off scott-free, I spanked her bottom big-time!  There's no denying that it was pretty funny though! : )

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...

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!  ...

Valentine's Weekend

Zach and I seemed to stretch out Valentine's day for the whole weekend! On Friday night we had pizza ordered in (pineapple and mushroom, my FAVORITE, Thanks honey!) Then on Saturday, Zach took me to downtown Henderson to Memories, a little antique shop, and bought me a McGuffey reader to add to my collection! After that, we went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond in Evansville and Zach bought me a back massage machine that goes in the chair! It does shiatsu massage and feel wonderful! He jokes that now he won't ever have to give me massages anymore, but that's not true! Then we went back to his house, and he opened his present from me, a balance thing that measures reloading stuff for guns! As you can guess, I don't exactly know what it is, I just said, "Pick something out unless you want some new polos." Motivates him every time! Today after church and lunch at Mama Joyce's we rushed to the west side of Evansville and went to the movies! We saw "When ...
