We Have the Internet!!!

Hooraaay! It feels so wonderful to be sitting in my living room (yay!) on my couch (ahh! - not the new one yet though) and typing on the laptop (awesome!).
Rob has promised to write a blog entry about our trip to Florida, so be checking for that soon (I know!! I'm excited too!)
But here's the basics: we now live in a house on base - it's got three bedrooms and one bath. Sadly, it does not have a dishwasher (thanks for the warning, Heather!) I think God is repaying me for overusing our dishwasher at Sheppard. Rob would love to point out how I recycle and compost, yet run a load of dishes just because I want a certain dish to be clean. Oh well.

Our Kitchen

We live very close to the marina and the bay with white sandy beaches and clear blue water! It's so nice! Our yard is mainly sand - never thought about that before - and weeds. We'll be working on that soon. The boxes have been unpacked such that they are confined to one room and we live and eat and sleep in the other rooms. The house is looking happier and more like our home by the hour.

The Box Room

We're really excited about taking the boat out soon! We have to figure out where all the cables go again though! It didn't come with a manual! yikes. Hopefully, everything will go well and the SS Awesome will be sea-worthy. :-)

OH! The big news! Rob's class date got moved up from the 30th! He now starts on Friday!! WHOA! I'm a little sad I won't be chilling out with my hot husband for the next month, but I'm happy for him and eager to see how the Lord is sovereign in this path as well! (Rob's original ENJJPT graduation class didn't have the F-15C as an option - but he got moved up to a different class then... so.... we'll see!)

Meanwhile, here's some fun pictures from our move.

Rob and a moth while filling up the moving van with diesel, check out the sweet God-given camo on this guy. There is actually shading on the "sticks", it looked like a professional artist had painted him.


This is where we live!!!!!!! Can you believe it?

Overall it is better for water waste for you to use the dishwasher than wash by hand (if you have a newish dishwasher...). Hope to see you soon! Glad to hear everything is going well!

I'm sorry that you have no dishwasher!! I just heard recently from a friend that they are going to tear down the places and build new ones (do you see new ones being built?). But being near the water is sooooo great!! We loved going for runs on the beach. But watch out for noseeums :) And HUGE flies! :) And you'll get used to the sand and weeds in the yard...remember, it's only for a few months :)

There's always room for tiny dishwashers :)
