Fort Awesome: New Couch!

So... the new couch arrived!!!!!!! YES! Our main reason for doing the DITY move has finally come! Rob and I are so pleased! I felt a little awkward when I found I couldn't understand the southern accents of the delivery guys - "they're speaking English! What is going on?!?" He asked for my "sneaker" and I was very confused until he pointed to his clipboard that needed my signature! OH!

Now, you may be wondering, "what on earth became of your old couch, McKay?" The sits-on-bricks $20-for-the-couch-plus-loveseat at a garage sale 8 years ago, the garage couch of the Carter Creek house, the "Love Nest" of the Apartment of Fun? Well, I'm thrilled to relay that I called our new church and a high school small group had been praying for a couch for about 4 months! YAY! Thus, the old couch can begin a new life at church! (I didn't tell them we used to call it the "Love Nest")

Friday night, the couples in the F-15C class (leaving out the 1 single guy - sorry Brent!) got together at the Clark's and hung out. It was nice to just hang out as a class. Saturday, we went to the Squadron's Skull Party. The 95th is the Boneheads (thus the Skull Party) and at the party they pass the skull to the next host, who must host a party within the next 95 days. I do love fighter squadron traditions! And Sunday, some of the awesome ladies got together at Sweet Tease, which is this gem of a restaurant! It's a bakery with Sunday brunch and sweets, coffees, and (da da dada!...) eggs benedict!!... with their famous crab cakes in lieu of pork! Very tasty! I am SO happy we found this place! We're definitely going back! *sigh* Last night was the squadron wives coffee where we enjoyed some amazing food and shared our holiday traditions! I shared that our family does steak dinner on Christmas Eve and they all thought that was so "Texan." :-) Then, today, I broke out the multi-colored Fiestaware and had girls over for tea and scones! SO fun!

Really the last two weeks have just been delightful! Between the long weekend I got with Rob and the lovely girl socials, it's been great!

OH! Also, we got in the last of our DITY move purchases - the Playstation 3! I'm slowly learning to be better at Guitar Hero and Rob is just in heaven!

The weather here is getting colder- it's about 56 degrees today and I have the windows open a little - it's nice. Still love living at the beach - it's just gettin' a little chilly! I just finished my landscaping! Rob trimmed the bushes and I cleared the beds and planted snapdragons, impatients, pansies, mexican heather, and a couple others. We'll see how they work out! Regardless, I'm so much happier when I pull into a house with flowers!
