Hi all!
I must say, it is a beautiful day here in North Carolina! It is really starting to feel like home here. Almost everything is unpacked, we are learning our way around town, Cameron is getting settled into his job, and I am getting adjusted to just being a plain ole' housewife. All that's left is to find a church. We haven't been very successful in that area... But we were successful in our search for some affordable appliances! I am so excited over our new washer and dryer! I know it sounds silly and I have been happily washing laundry at home. I'm sure that the excitement will wear off soon and laundry will go back to being a chore but I'm enjoying it for now! I am also excited that we finally got our internet connected. Pinterest, here I come! My poor husband is going to be so happy to be my guinea pig for cooking experiments. I'm just happy to be with him again. :)
Military life has been interesting so far. I'm still terrified of driving on base though I do not know why. It is just intimidating. Shopping at the commissary can be a great but also dangerous experience. They need traffic signals for shopping carts! Thankfully, we live in a delightful little town home where I have been working to set up our home. Pictures are going up, cookies are being made (even in the middle of the night when I cannot sleep), and I am making lists miles long of things that we need in order to "re-setup shop". I haven't really made any friends yet and we only have one car so I get a bit restless staying at home all day. Not that I do not like being at home and doing housewife-y things but even the common housewife needs to get out of the house sometimes. Which is something that my husband is realizing very quickly. Unfortunately he is realizing it because of my somewhat grouchy attitude that keeps occurring when I am at home for too long... Yesterday he even sent me to the mall to go shopping and let me get a manicure AND pedicure... That really says something. :( Not that I didn't enjoy the pedicure... I need to find more ways to entertain myself and stay busy. And not to take out my restlessness on Cameron who has been working so much... Studying the Bible helps a lot! Right now I am reading in Isaiah. I have found that it is one of my favorite chapters. :)
Oops. I hear the laundry calling! Stay tuned for more adventures of this ordinary Marine wife! There just might be a tasty surprise in the near future. ;)
