Our Home

We'll have our first visitors in just a few weeks, and we are so excited! Having company always motivates me to clean, organize, and hang more pictures on our walls. So that's what i'm in the process of doing. Unfortunately, this process is going rather slowly. I really do enjoy cleaning, organizing, and hanging pictures, but I have to motivate myself to get in the mood to do all these things, and lately, well, i just haven't been in the mood.

Since i haven't posted pics of our house yet, I decided to make this blog a before and after glimpse. This will give you an idea of our traumatic move-in experience, and will testify to the fact that we really weren't exaggerating, it was horrific, and a good learning experience. Prepare yourself, these pics are pretty shocking! =)

Before the movers delivered our stuff, borrowing Army furniture:



After the movers came and destroyed our stuff. Literally, they just opened each box and dumped it upside down. Fun, huh?






But don't worry, we've learned we can pretty much survive any crisis! This is our house now. The downstairs was set up for my book club, so normally we don't have 15 chairs in the living room, but you get the picture! You'll just have to come visit to see the upstairs =).

Melissa,
If I lived there, I don't think I'd be worried about decorating either!
Love ya,

I had a big paragraph written last week...good thing it wouldn't let me post, cause it said stuff like filing a congressional (one of hawaii's senator's is on the armed services committee).....well, I still think I would complain until someone who could do something saw this!

Wow! I commend ya'll for sorting thru all that stuff! I'm pretty sure I would have had a panic attack! After I gasped at the first couple of pics then I smiled cause it looks so homey, cute, warm and quaint!
