Our New Home!





Well, since we are settled and really getting use to our new home, I figured it was time to post some pictures. We love it, and it fits us perfectly! The boys are having fun with all of the space after living in a tiny apartment on the 5th floor in Japan. We have plenty of room for visitors, so anyone wanting to see this beautiful area (and of course see us!) is more than welcome to come stay with us.

When we moved in, we didn't have to paint anything. Everything was as is, and as you can see, our furniture and decor is perfect for this house. This is the first of many moves with the Navy that this has happened.

"Home is where the Navy sends you..."

It's late, so this won't be long. We are in our new home in Washinton in the town of Silverdale. After three shipments of household goods- one main, one storage, and an express shipment, we are settled! We finally have it all. Well, maybe not everything- not until our dog Jazzy comes HOME to us in August. We've been without her for almost three years. For a dog, that is a long time, so during our time overseas, she has undoubtedly aged, but we are looking so forward to having her as part of our family again.

We are trying to find our new normal and routine here, as we look to new experiences and new friends and make the best of our summer here, without Daddy and away from great friends we left in Japan. Every move brings uncertainty, and both boys have experienced that this time.

This is home for now, and I can't think of a more beautiful place to be. I know the rain will come, but for now, we are enjoying the most beautiful blue skies, while listening to our waterfall in the backyard as the deer come to nibble on the plants.

I will post pics of the house soon. Good night from the Pacific Northwest.
