first poker ride!!

We had another great weekend!! Friday our friend Jordan came down to hang out with us. We had dinner and drinks her at the house while Ellie and his dog Bernard played together. Then we went bar hopping at some local bars around here and had a lot fun!

Then Saturday we did our first poker ride together and it was awesome! We went to four different bars and we collected a card at each one. Corey's hands were pretty bad but I had a really good hand ace king queen and a ten but I pulled a stinken nine instead of a jack!! Oh well there is always next time!! This weekend we are doing another ride to va beach for breast cancer so we are really excited about that! Later we went to the races which were way more fun then I thought they would be. We all got in to the races. It was our friends going away party. That's the one really hard thing once you make a really good friend they leave.

Time is flying this weekend is already Corey's birthday, but I'm super excited for it!!

paint!

I finally finished painting the dining room today!! I love the color! Now I just have to get Corey to hang some pictures in it and it will be perfect and ready in time for my big Thanksgiving dinner!! The house is definitely coming along! The wallpaper came down in the living room real easy so we are going to get someone in here soon to do the kitchen and living room. Now all we need is furniture! We thought we had a leak in our upstairs bathroom but turns out we just need to put a shower curtain up before our next guest! Also for the dining room I need to pick out some curtains for one window. Also we finally have a mailbox!

I like Langley a lot more then McChord because its been a lot easier to make friends out here. I think because people act different on each coast and we are just more understanding of people over here. plus we already knew some friends out here. Seems like our weekends are jam packed up until the deployment. This weekend we are going home for a family reunion, to bring the bike down, and for Corey to play the drums with a band. I'm so super excited it should be so much fun!! Even miss Ellie is making friends! Plus having our family so close is great!!

Well after the weekend ill be starting the office..hopefully it takes less coats then the dining room!!

first night alone in the new house

So it has been a fewupo nights but we have been so busy with the house! Corey is at night firing tonight which is twice a month, but that gives me some me time and time to update. As much as I enjoy me time I don't like it at night or in a new neighborhood. But I have Ellie and there are a few guns around here so I should be ok! A taste of what deployment life will be like.

Well after Corey gave up on painting. I finished the powder room and it looks great if I do say so myself! Now I'm working on the dining room just need some more paint to get it done! It definitely is starting to feel like a home especially eating meals here and starting to unpack. The love is just bursting out the windows! The in-laws were here last weekend and they were super helpful getting stuff done! Are yard is starting to brighten up and I think the flowers will make it with a little TLC!!

Is it crazy I'm starting to think about Thanksgiving already? I'm having a big dinner this year for both our families so we can all be together. I just want it to be perfect so I already starting working on the menu and telling everyone. U want to be stuck like a deer in headlights running to the store that day. Plus hopefully if I'm overly prepared it will go well!! Hopefully Ellie doesn't try to help herself to anything!

exhausted!

Today equals day two and I'm shot! Today I peeled all the wall paper from our downstairs bathroom. It took be all day and I even got the approval from corey!! Then we went to tackle painting and quickly gave up..we will see if some rest will give us better spirits or we might pull together our loose change and higher someone. At least tomorrow our pod comes! Let me tell you suitcase living sucks! It will nice to have all of our belongings again!


Today we also dealt with some stress with Corey's work. The whole last minute TDY to jk your staying. Its always a hard few moments when they might be leaving. Now I am just waiting for more definite details on his upcoming deployment. Military life is always so up in the air!

Well wish us luck unloading once again I'm stuck helping with the heavy stuff!
