Its long. Sorry. Not super exciting. Pictures to follow.
Monday night was fabulous. I asked husband what his plans were and he layed them all out for me. Oh boy I was already tired from his lengthy list.
Tuesday morning after showering and getting ready we set out to go pick up his friend(the same friend we took home) to get his car from storage. Let me just say car rides with this guy are histarical. He has no sense of "personal" boundaries. He shared with us details of his night...and how he thinks his wife tried to kill him with spicy sphagetti. haha. After sending him on his way we set out to look at apartments.
I hada list of five potential places that fit our criteria. We went to the first one which was probably 20 minutes from base. We decided to go ahead and put a holding deposit on it and allow her to run our applications as we looked at the others. But as we drove away from the property to get the money for the credit checks we decided we just felt really good about this place and we had a really strong feeling about this being the place we were going to end up. So we went back and told the leasing agent we wanted the place. Husband decided to go look at some bedroom sets he had seen online. He had shown me pictures of them but I was not to thrilled with them. We went anyways and ended up finding one we both really liked and that just seemed to fit perfectly. Not to mention was way cheaper then we thought we would have to pay. Husband payed for it and we scheduled pick up for the following day. We made a trip to Kohl's and picked out our bathroom set and hsuband got some new clothes. I was exhasted and poor husband still was not feeling that great.
Wednesday morning we headed back to the property with a truck load of our stuff to sign the lease and get they keys to our very first place! Husbands friends met us their to help us move. We took them back to the furniture place and loade up the truck with our new bedroom set. Husband dropped off the monkey and me at my mama's place so I could finish packing up some randoms. I notice they were gone for quite some time. And then I got a text. Well two. Pictures of t.v. stands. Then a phone call. They were at Best Buy and yes husband was in the process of buying his 46" t.v. and aa t.v. stand. The boys finally made it back home and picked up our mattresses for our bed.(We already had those) And we drove back to our new home. It started to rain on our way back. Husband was concerned about his new t.v. I was more concerned for our mattresses. (typical) We got back and the boys immediataly got to work setting up the new t.v. Then husband ran to get us soem food and we cuddled up and starte to watch a movie before deciding to just go to bed.
Thursday we went on a hunt for our living room and dining room furniture. We went to Jeromes and found a few things we liked for the living room. We found the table we LOVED but decided to check out Mor's first. We should of just stayed at Jerome's. Mor's had nothing in stock. We refuse to wait 6 weeks for a table or a couch. We werent in love with anything either to even make the wait worth it. So back to Jeromes we went. We got our sales guy to check on our table for us. While he was doing that we were talking about our couches and what wwe wanted and noticed two sets we liked. We ended up getting our entire living room set, and dining room set delivered that night! Husband rearranged the couches four times before deciding on something he liked. We made one last trip to Santee and emptied out our storage unit. Unloaded everything and then went to bed.
Friday we grocery shopped. What a freakin' process. It is so hard to stock up on things when you have NOTHING in your house. Next time I am going with meal plans and a list. It was fun. Husband is so domesti. Its cute. We came home and just relaxed. Cuddled on our couches and watched a movie.
Saturday the cable man came. Husband was so excited to get t.v. and internet. (I was too I had so many blogs to catch up on.) We invited my mama and sister over for dinner. Then husband invited his friend Jeff over since poor Jeff has no car right now and lives in the nasty barracks. It was so much fun to cook for everyone.
Sunday I did laundry. Things finally felt like they were normal/real. It finally hit me this was our home. Then I looked at monkey and realized he will be a year in a little more then a week...seriously. WTC?
