The day Nick Dellar asked

Four years ago today my life changed in the most incredible way possible. Nick Dellar asked me to be his girlfriend...

It was at Hammonds - He took me down that beautiful little walk way, down to the beach. We walked for a while, then when we got back onto the path and I noticed he had sat down at one of the benches looking over the surf there. I quickly realized I should go sit down next to him.

Now let me make a note here: Up to this point we had never, not ever held hands. Not once.

He grabbed my hand that day, interlocked his fingers into mine and said "The real reason I brought you out here..." and went on to ask me to be his girlfriend. I am getting giddy and smiley just typing this. I was overjoyed! It was so incredible to finally hold each others hand (do you know that feeling?!) and just hug and enjoy that moment! I had been holding in and hiding how much I LOVED him for quite some time and it was so relieving to know he felt the same way. It was a beautiful Monday evening August 8, 2006...

A few pictures from "way" back then :)

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.
