The Move in Pictures!

Saturday morning breakfast at the country cafe - I love the view!

Relaxing in our sun drenched dining room

DB spotted this on the front of the house - a praying mantis with orange spots (??)

She LOVES riding in the car and did fine on the long trip up

Aren't they good looking?!

All Moved In

I've been busy moving stuff in, getting organized and unpacked, but I am here and all is very well! I will update soon with pictures!

T minus 18 hours, and counting!!

The people at my job threw me a surprise farewell breakfast party today! As I'm walking down to hallway to my office I could smell bagels and I kinda knew then that something was waiting for me, and boy was I right! There was all sorts of pastries (some homemade), bagels, muffins, donuts, rugula, spinach, egg and cheese quiche, fruit, juice and coffee, and even deviled eggs! They gave me a nice bouquet of flowers, a Vera Bradley handbag and coin purse in Kensington, a makeup case in Night Owl, and a $150 Visa gift card!!

Plus, one of the doctors that I work for gave me a $50 gift card to Macy's and a silver and blue enamel bangle bracelet, and another doctor gave me a decorative plate from his own collection (I think it's Lebonese but I can't read the name on the back of it). After the party was over I got a call from the main lobby front desk that I had a delivery of flowers!! My boyfriend is so sweet!

Tomorrow I'm working until noon and then heading straight down to Dover. I am so ready to go!

Two Days!!

I can't believe how much stuff I have! It's a good thing I get boxes for free from work (from the recycle bin, not five finger discount!) I have my bathroom all done and my closet, dresser and armoire are mostly done. The only things I have left to pack are things I use everyday, things too bulky to put in a box and the bigger stuff that has to wait for the truck.

Wanna bet on it?!

My last day of work is Friday and I'm leaving at noon to drive straight down to my new home in Delaware. I told DB that I didn't want him to take a day of leave but I was still hoping that he would be home to greet me when I got there. Well, in seemingly typical military fashion, they scheduled him for a mission, which he is out on now. Thankfully, his SRT is something like very early Thursday morning. But since I'm becoming wise to how the AF likes to change things and extend trips at the last moment, we have taken this opportunity to make a bet! I'll post it once he emails me the conditions. I can tell you that the winner will receive a 30 minute back massage for 7 consecutive days which could also include breakfast in bed depending on his actual return time.

It's not fun being separated but we do what we can to make the best of it!

Pictures!

My going away Hawaiian Luau party was this past Saturday and it was so much fun! The party started at 4 which is also when a storm came through, but thankfully we had a tent and it only lasted an hour! Everyone had a great time! Here's some pictures from the party...

Sneaking in a little chat

Gmail chat is the BEST! My honey and I chatted ALL DAY while I was at work. Yes I did work in between chatting, I actually did and I got all my work done too. He was able to chat all day because he was home since he had to go out of town this evening for work. So even though we missed our regularly scheduled talk time tonight, at least we got to chat all day long! A funny (and sarcastic) excerpt...

him: Ah hahaha, i just read the email with the leg lamp!

her: just now?oh the LTD, right

him: yeah

i want it

her: go for it

him: where should we put it in the house?

the living room?

the bedside?

her: Well in the living room, so it can be seen by all who enter our home...

him: haha

her: Maybe we can get a sofa table to put behind the couch so we can set it on that and then everyone who drives by can also appreciate it...

him: good call!

her: Especially at night when it's all lit up and displaying it's glory

him: it's fishnet stocking glory

We are nerds.
