unpacked :)

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!

    So fun to get your house all together. I remember that was one of my most favorite times. Cuz i mean through college you just live with WHATEVER..nothing matches, nothing is FULLY yours cuz everyone is "sharing".. but when you get married you can finally have your OWN stuff, your own plates and cups that all match, your own silverware. So fun... Can't wait to come visit and see it all in person..

    love you

    Isn't it fun setting up your first home?

    I remember that first apartment as a married Coast Guard wife in Miami. It was a small apartment, but perfect for us.

    Unpacking all my fresh new things and finding spots for them, setting up house. It was so much fun.

    I'm enjoying the pictures. Thanks for sharing them.

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.
