my green gifts!

The Saturday before Nick left, he took me to the garden store to get me a little something. We stopped by there a few days before and I got really excited to start a little herb garden. We thought we would start with mint!



It is so fun to have some color in the kitchen! While we were looking around, Nick spotted a Tuberose plant! They are my Favorite and one of Nick's favorite smells, so we had to get one.


It will reside in "the office" to bring some color and sweet smells. I got so excited that I have two little guys to water and take care of....I get so excited over the simple things.

This last picture is for Dale :) I was sitting at the beach by our house and saw this large , thick piece of wood floating in and out on the waves...I knew I had to take this picture and tell Dale this will be my surf board until Nick's gets here!

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...

The Best Things In Life Are For Free

Well not completely free, actually this chair was $2.00 at a garage sale down the street, and the paint was $10.00 at the Home Depot. the cool life ring we found in the dumpster, and its from a Panamanian Ship, so really it is the only thing that was for free. so all together I guess $12.00 is not so bad for a little beach flare around the house. The drift wood and coral were free! Here you go Mom just like I promised, my newly reorganized closet. And for all you male bloggers out there (So you don't pull my Man-card) My Alpha Black -Dual weaver tactical rail mounts with fore grip. -Raised scope rail mounting system. -Nc Star Red dot sight. -And a Black Hawk 1pt tactical sling.
