The House Post Unpacking!

Finally after over a month since we received our shipment of goods and I did a blog showing the messy state of our house, I have finally reached a state that I am happy to share with you all.

It took a long time and lots of debate but it all finally came together nicely.  I am by no means done with the decorating of the house but I can now officially say that our house is now a home!


Here is the living room all picked up and organized! :)


Our entertainment center with shelves.


I like to think of this as our 'mudroom' space.  It is where Matthew gets ready for work and where we put our things down (like my purse and such) when we first come into the house.


The hallway to the bathroom and bedrooms.


The kitchen.  I am pretty proud of the mat that I made out of those foam gym mats.



Our dining room with the table that we got at a yard sale for $200.00 that can expand to fit 6!


My favorite project:  the coffee/tea center!  And of course our calendar and organization area.


Our new bedroom set.  We are really happy with this set.  


Our dresser and my little jewelry chest.


The bathroom.  (duh!)  :)


And of course:  the "Man Cave"  as Matthew likes to call it.  But really this room is not top priority right now.  Eventually we would like to put a desk and table in here to make it into not only a man cave but also an office and craft room for myself.  That will come with time -- and money!  :)

So that is how the house has come together so far.  I think we have managed to make it as homey as we can without all the work or painting and repainting later.  It will continue to be a work in progress but for now I am moving on to other projects.  Like finding a job!

Thanks for reading!

long lost days and couch beds

So I have not been keeping up with this in the past few days considering I have been pretty busy. Thus I am going to do some quick over-views of the past few days so that I can get myself to bed. I haven't been sleeping all that well for a while now and I need to get my beauty rest. On Sunday Matthew and I went back to Grace Assembly (our old/home church) for the late service. We wanted to go back to Grace since we are doing the mission trip through them and they were having a young adult meeting after church. The young adults meeting was pretty great. We went to Forks Cafeteria in downtown Wake Forest and had a room to ourselves reserved. I love getting everyone together. There are always great conversations. After we ate we had a little talk about getting young adults going again and about this new adopt a school program that they wanted us to get involved in. I am feeling pretty siked about the adopt a school program because it is with a middle school and we would get ...

To Start Again

Hello everyone! I know, I know, it has been a REALLY long time since I last posted anything here.  We have since been in Great Lakes, IL for a little over 2 years now and I feel like we have made ourselves a comfortable home and extended group of friends that are like family in the area.  But of course, like true Navy fashion, and God's design for life, nothing goes according to plan. I thought here in Great Lakes there would be little to no chance of Matthew ever getting deployed. God had a different plan.  Long story short, he is now deployed overseas and has been for almost 3 months.  He will be back sometime around May 2019 (that's about 10 months total). I've been having a lot of thoughts about how my days and plan are escaping me and I have trouble remembering what I've did yesterday let alone last week.  And so, I've decided to try and take back up on the blogging.  Hopefully it will be therapeutic for me and as well as help me when I want to ...

worst monday ever! (5/24/10)

So as my title says, last Monday was one of the worst Mondays that I have had in a long time. It started off early in the morning, 7:30 am, and if you know me then you know that is not a good time of morning for me to be waking anyway. But that had little to do with the bad day. I had to drive up to Louisburg to get my mom's prescription from her doctor's office because she was in SC with my Nina. Nina had been in the hospital since Thursday with complications that they could not quite pinpoint. So I set out early to get the paper that would allow me to get the prescription filled so that I could meet my Aunt at 10:30 when she was going to leave for SC. About half way through my journey to the doctor's office my car started making weird noises and shaking slightly. I called Matthew with a slight air of laughter in my voice and told him that if I broke down that he would have to call in late to work. Mind you I did not think anything of it because didn't think ...
