10 Days Left

10 days! That is all I have until my husband is home!!!! Hooray!!! He has been gone for two months. As soon as he gets back, we are out of here! So long South Carolina....hello Washington!!!

It's bittersweet because he will have to deploy soon after we move. But that's Navy life for you. At least we get to see him before he leaves again. But, I will be home. My actual home. The birthplace of me.....so that's a plus.

I just can't believe in 10 days he will be back. (doing a happy dance)

Our Very Own Home Sweet Home

It's official. Chris and I are homeowners! We closed on our house in Poulsbo today. I am half dazed by it. I have wanted my own home that I could paint and change as I see fit, for so long. A place to honestly call our own. But with military life, that's not always a reality. Until now. Finally we are moving home. Even if we have to move again (which we will....because it is the navy after all) we can still rent it out and move back when we are done.

In the past 9 years that Chris and I have been married, I have lived in 5 states (he has lived in 7) and I have had 7 different homes. You don't want to know the tens of thousands of dollars we have wasted on someone else's mortgage. Not any more!

Never again will I have to deal with white walls. Or mini blinds. or ceiling fans! Finally I can put my interior design degree to good use! Oh happy day!!!

So, today we join in on the American dream, suddenly a few hundred thousand dollars in debt, but totally overjoyed.

BTW, if you need a good realtor....I know an awesome one!
