a couple house pictures

We have hung up some pictures around the house - so I took pictures of the pictures :)
The pictures in these frames are from a map that Nick got off the Jarvis.



Thank you Aubrie for our hanging baskets ( I love putting all colored fruits in there).


Mmmm...I am addicted to Nick's smoothies! Our blender is awesome. The smoothies above are a grandma Hargrove creation - Pineapple, mint, a little buttermilk...oh man I would have them every afternoon if I could! 


Thank you aunt Cristine for our awesome anchor placeholders! They welcomed Nick home.


Thank you Julia for sending the "I Do" letters (she used these to decorate at our rehersal dinner). I had them set up as "I Do" on the table and within the first 2 days being home, Nick had moved them around, as you can see. It either needs a question mark at the end, or an exclamation mark with valley girl attitude ;)


Apoligies for not posting more often. It has been interesting... when people ask how we are doing, I keep wanting to say "getting back to normal", but what is normality these days? Getting back to being married (we are so good at it already), used to having Nick around (a whole two weeks so far), used to living in Hawaii (5 months and going strong)? We don't really have anything "normal" to get back to ;) ha! but that is kind of fun anyway. I just have to watch my verbage. Maybe "getting back to newness" - what about "Trying to get a handle on adventurous lives with the Lord?" ;) Yeah, well being able to "handle" and control things isn't really adventurous, and hasn't really been a part of the game plan...so my final tag line should be:

"Getting back to trusting the Lord and His plan and not leaning on my own understanding - enjoying exactly where He has us today". Yes, that is what I want my heart to say everyday.  So glad He is in control of things...

love you all.

    Yes and yes... beautiful house Becky! And yes to the "normalness" of newly married and moved. Sometimes I feel like I'm still in that! :) But the Lord is faithful and leads us exactly where we need to go to keep leaning on him. Lots of love and miss you! XOXO Meg

    OH WOW! LOVE your house you two.
    I especially liked the little vignette with the bench and pictures... you are a good nesting team :)
    thanks so much for sharing, to be able to get a visual on what your home looks like is so much fun.
    Can't wait to see more one day, hopefully up close and personal.

Christmas in July

Image
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.
