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 mind...in a few months Nick is going to come back and be sitting on them with me!!! At that I could not hold back the laughter! That will be a glorious day. Plus...We have So much cool stuff!
Now...where do I start! My cheeks already hurt from smiling too much and I am just overwhelmed with all these boxes, whose contents are a mystery :D I guess I start one room at a time.
I will be documenting more as I unwrap, unpack, and descover...
Man, so thankful that it all came safe and sound - Thank you Lord for giving us way more than we deserve!
oh my gosh, i am just bawling my eyes out right now... you are going to have one beautiful home..
ReplyDeleteNick is going to be sooo super blessed Becks when he gets back.
Can't wait to see it all put together!
I love you and wish more than anything I could be there with you to watch you unpack! :)
love and hug to you dear one.

What excitement awaits you in each box as you open it up for the first time...some wedding gifts, some special treats from loved ones, some of your stuff and some of Nick's stuff!!
ReplyDeleteNick will be blown away when he comes home to his new wife and newly decorated home!! Enjoy each moment Becky!! I wish I was with Julia helping you unwrap each one! Keep smiling!!! Can't wait to see the photos room by room!!
