So, just like I promised last time, I have some pictures of our apartment for you all! We are so lucky to call this place home! These are just a few, because we are hosting an Airman's spouse for a few days, and therefore could not get a decent picture of our living room! So here they are!
YAY! I was so excited when I opened the fridge, yes the fridge, on Valentine's Day and found this!
Chris knew exactly what to get me! I absolutely love the Willow Tree figurines, and it makes me so happy to see this everyday.
These are the picture frames we made for Super Sat! So happy with how mine turned out!
Chris was adamant on having a jar of shells! He's so funny sometimes!
Here is our tiny kitchen! Nothing much to talk about here!
Love this!
The dining room table that we never use!
On top of our book shelf
Wall hangings I made for our living room! So easy to do, and so cheap!
And this is the Wildes Wall! I'm hoping to find more W's around, so far I've only been able to find these three!
Well, that's our apartment...or at least that's all you'll get to see of it for now! Hope you enjoy!
So, I am horrible at blogging, obviously! But I am going to be a changed woman, I'm dedicated! I am setting a goal for myself to update at least twice a month! I want us to have a safe place for our memories and pictures, and for our story. So here is an update from the last few months!
First off, Chris graduated from BMT (Basic Militay Training)!! WOO HOO! I went to his graduation, and it was without a doubt, some of the happiest moments of my life. It's a hard thing to not see your best friend, to not talk to them, and to not hear them laugh for such a long time. He makes me so happy, and I feel so blessed to have found him, and to be able to share my life with him. He makes me so proud.
This is Chris during the Airman's Run. It was the first time I'd seen him in over two months!
Right after the Coin Ceremony. The first alone time we got, sitting in the car in a parking lot. It was perfect.
Right after the actual graduation. I LOVE my American Airman!
And here we are, husband and wife, together again!
So after Grad, Chris was sent to Mississippi for his technical training, aka his job training. He is in school at Keesler AFB. I moved to MS right before Thanksgiving, with the help of my wonderful mother. We have a really nice apartment about 10 miles from base, where we have celebrated our first Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years and Valentine's Day as a married couple! We have really grown to love it here. It was something that we never expected, but it's been great. We have made friends that were also an unexpected blessing. The friends we've made here are all wonderful examples to us, and I think that the military has worked in our benefit in forming these bonds. In the short time we've known them, I already know that they are going to be our lifelong friends, and we are so blessed to have them in our lives.
Here is our home! We are on the third floor!
On our way to a Thanksgiving dinner with the church branch on base.
Here is our first Christmas Tree!
Originally when Chris got his orders, we were going to be stationed in Nebraska. NEBRASKA?! I know, I couldn't believe it either. So we traded with someone who wanted NE, and we were going to go to Ohio. We were both really excited about going to Ohio, and getting to experience all of the church history, and the different climate and culture. Notice I said 'were'. We are now going to be stationed in LA. And I mean cajun country, not bright, sunny, smoggy Los Angelos. Going to Louisiana is going to be the start of a new journey and adventure for us, and even if we aren't happy about it now, and by 'we' I mean 'I', I need to keep in mind that we are going to be sent there for a reason. I know that we will be able to make the best of the situation, just like we did when we moved to MS. And I know that as long as I've got Chris by my side that all will be well.
Well, I'm afraid that that's all for now. I've got to clean up the apartment and run some errands before Chris comes home. Next post: pictures of our new home!
