Wonderful Cooks

I know so many woman who are incredibly gifted cooks. Since I am now a 5 hour flight away, I realize how blessed I was to have experienced their cooking and hospitality!!  Their love, their eye for detail and easy tips have encouraged me in my own cooking for our family of two! 

I am especially grateful for the times I had with them the few weeks before I got married. I felt so loved during that time! A simple waffle breakfast (with greek yogurt and organic fruit jam -unparalleled!), a stop by this house for an amazing lunch, left over dinner at "home" that was always out of this world, a little dinner party with my closest friends (and Favorite menu!) - I am so blessed by those who use that gift of hospitality.  My husband would not be well fed if it was not for you and your recipes!

Since Nick and I left so quickly after the wedding, we only were able to take a few gifts in our luggage with us. One of which was a large, flat white envelope. I was very curious to see what was inside (I knew it was too big to be a card).  I opened it and it was a hand-made Apron!! 




(That is a picture of me wearing it, even though you cannot see it!)

I just love it! Last night I started making dinner (while Nick was on his way home), put on my apron, had Sergio Mendez Brazil 66 playing and just was having the greatest time in the kitchen :)  I am so thankful for Amber who made it for me - I think it is one of the best wedding gifts to give!

Christmas in July

All of our belongings arrived this morning! We have it all! Big truck, three huge crates and a team of 5 showed up on the doorstep at 8:45 AM this morning. They must have thought I was weird - as each item came through the door I got the hugest smile! Like "oh, there is the table from the Hargroves...and there are the couches...boxes of wedding gifts I have not opened yet!..." you get the idea. Here is our bedroom before... and after! Living room before... And after! Kitchen before... And After!! The movers only took one hour to get it all into the house. The first thing I did when they left? Sat down on the couch in the living room. I just remember sitting on them at the parent-Dellar's house and all the fun times I have had at their house; the BBQs, the prayer nights and Bible studies, cuddling up on them when Nick was gone (in Kona, Cape May, Virginia, Honolulu). And NOW I am sitting on them in our house here! I just couldn't believe it. THEN the thought entered my...

So! This weekend was pretty full with unpacking all our fun things. It is so incredible how loved I have felt the last few days; having a couch to cuddle up on, real plates and real utensils to eat with, candles galore, a kitchen table and chairs!! (not to mention all the appliances that I got and am dying to use!) I just love being home now! Here is me with my new amazing tea pot standing in one of the first open boxes. Here are our cups, plates and mugs sitting on our kitchen table - they are just beautiful! Here was my first dinner on our real plates!   Sunday I went to church and sat by the other two Coastie wives whose husbands are on the Jarvis. I came home and unpacked a few more boxes, then decided to end the afternoon with a run by the beach + jump in the water and layout session :) As the empty boxes get pushed closer to the door, I will take some more shots of the house and how it is coming together!
