You know you're living with a boy when he uses your expensive perfume as air freshener for the bathroom

So we bought some Febreeze.

Well we are officially in our apartment! Furniture comes on Tuesday morning, so the place is quite empty at the moment. We did buy an air mattress last night and a new sofa bed from American Furniture that should arrive in 2-4 weeks. We also got our cable and internet set up yesterday, which is why I'm finally able to post on here!

This week has been filled with lots of sitting in offices. Military = hurry up and wait. But we've made good progress. Our Washington driver's licenses are on their way and we'll be reimbursed for our hotel expenses and the long drive from Philly to Silverdale. We're still learning our way around the base, however. We've taken many wrong turns and made good use of our new GPS (gift from my parents!). We've come close to entering quite a few restricted areas on accident.

Like I said before, we'll be receiving the rest of our things from the moving company on Tuesday morning. Andrew will be at work, but that will give me plenty to do that day to keep me busy. We received brownies this evening from our neighbor downstairs, which was incredibly sweet. It made me really want to start getting involved in the programs they have for military wives around here and Andrew and I are really praying that we find a good church in the area soon.

We both miss home a lot from time to time. We're expecting to feel more at home here once the rest of our things get here on Tuesday and we can start settling in a little more. Familiar things can really do wonders for home sickness. Until then, it's a little bit difficult to come back to an empty apartment and not know anyone's names around here quite yet. However, we're constantly grateful for God's faithfulness through everything we've been through and are so happy to have each other.

If anyone would like to see some of our wedding pictures that our amazing photographer posted recently just go here.


Hooyah :)
