Settling in

Things are coming together.
We now have window coverings, which we did not have for the first two weeks we lived in the house. My amazing seamstress mom made valences for the kitchen bathroom and our bedroom.
We started painting, we are having a red and grey kitchen.
We hung new light fixtures.
Put picture frames up.
It is becoming our home.
Friends and family keep coming over to check it out. So glad we now have place to invite friends over. Had a great time hanging out and laughing till late last night.
Our doggie Trout is doing great, no accidents in the house and loves attention. He does have some quirks like scarring himself as he looks at his reflection, which he is doing in the picture below.

  We had some friends get married up north so we decided to take a little trip, our first trip together since honeymoon. It was so much fun! We spent an afternoon in San Fransisco, Pier 39, Gheridelli, and The Buena Vista. We had delicious bread bowls with tomato soup (our favorite soup).
We stayed in Pleasanton a nice town. Our hotel, which I found on Hotwire (a great site for finding good deals for hotels) had a huge indoor gym connected to it. Wish we could have spent more time there but we did get a short workout in the morning before the wedding. It was an early wedding then we headed down the coast, a beautiful drive, where we stopped in San Simeon for the night. We had delicious Mexican food and hubby taught me Cribbage. We woke up and walked along the beach then headed down to Santa Barbara to visit my brother. Driving along the coast was beautiful, I kept saying it was breathtaking. Part of the way we had no radio so Cam became the radio, I would say a genre he would start singing I would chime in, we had so much fun.

 

God has definitely blessed us and we are so thankful. The sermon Sunday was great...We are chosen royalty and we have a reputation to keep, we should continually strive to bring God glory and that is my prayer; that through blessings and trials I would reveal God's glory!
