Homecoming

He's home!
The day we had been waiting 
for finally came!

Some wonderful friends came to
the airport to help me welcome him home.
(Thank you Kristin for taking pictures of
this special moment)

Coming down the escalator...









Thank you family and friends
for your prayers, love and support.
We are so glad to have this 
deployment behind us!

House Updates!

I have been a busy girl for the past
two weeks - lots to do to get the house
ready.  But I'm happy to say that it is finished!

Let me take you on a tour...
(I have posted before and after photos)



The Kitchen Before:


The New and Improved Kitchen:






I LOVE my new kitchen table and hutch!  
The table has a leaf that makes it 
oblong to seat more people!




The Random Hallway Before:


The Random Hallway Becomes a Study:




This space makes so much more sense as
a study.  I love the way it turned out!




The Study/Music Room Before:


The Study/Music Room Becomes a Guest Room:








This room is very special.  This furniture belonged
to my great grandparents, Granny and Papa Boone.
My Mimi and Pa got the furniture from them 
many years ago.  It's still hard to believe that
 their furniture is in my house - 
it's a bit emotional.  But it's special.




Guest Bathroom:





So, I don't have pictures of the
guest bathroom before - it was all red.
I've had my eye on this shower curtain for
quite some time.  We actually had it
on our wedding registry - but didn't get it
at that time.  The pictures came from Mimi
and Pa's house.


Well, there are a few other small updates
 around the house, but I guess you'll
just have to come visit to see those!
