Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Or does it?

Hi Friends!


Yikes, it's been quite a while since an update has been posted.  My apologies. A lot has happened in our lives in the last few weeks. One of those things is, Steve has been sent out on a deployment. He left the US the last week in September.  Fortunately we discovered Skype, and were able to still talk on the phone and email every day until he was send under the sea. There has also been some drama with the new house (financial stuff), I won't bore everyone with the details, because it has all since been worked out. Attached are some recent pictures from the last few weeks. The last time I visited the house, the only new things were that the driveway and back patio had been poured.


The driveway has been poured since this picture was taken.

The screened-in porch is now screened in!

The front door is painted, the porch cement laid, and the steps built!

Our pretty front porch lighting.

This is the light fixture in the dining room.
I cheated and took the picture through the window.
Our kitchen.
This is another "through the window" picture.

Garage!

We really liked these fixtures for the garage.  They were on sale too!  Bonus!

It's been a busy 3 weeks since Steve left town. I'm making progress on packing up the house and getting ready to move.  I had a big help from my Mom, Dad, and Sister-in-law Jessi last weekend.  They all came in to town for the weekend and we had ourselves very productive packing and cleaning weekend. There is still packing to do, but most of what is left to be packed should wait until closer to Moving Day. Now, my projects are more about getting rid of "stuff we don't want, or need". On that note, anyone looking for a black leather couch and love seat set? Or a dining room table and chairs (round table, 4 chairs)?  Or a washer and dryer set? Or a dishwasher? Or random electrical/computer stuff? Let me know!


Again, sorry for the long absence.  I will be sure that doesn't happen again!
