Hawaii

Well I'm finally here.  I'm finally in Hawaii.  My new home (at least until late March).  It took a lot longer than we'd hoped for or thought it would, but I'm here and that's all that matters.  We got to move into our house Wednesday.  It's really nice inside and we got some loaner furniture to make it nice and comfy.  I spent the day, while Chase was back at work, unpacking and setting everything up.  Then we went for our first times REAL grocery shopping together and got lots of food to fill our kitchen.  By nighttime, it already felt like our own little home.  We did however, have a small scale invasion.  Now if you know me, you know how I am with spiders and your already saying in your head, "Uh-oh".  It was terrible.  They were huge and everywhere and I was freaking out.  With eight down, and a little time passed of waiting, I started to calm down a little bit.  Then I walk in the bedroom, and the King is in there, staring at me.  I had a full on panic attack.  Crying and everything.  It was awful to say the least.  But now it's calmed down, Chase sprayed for me, I'm still "just checking" everywhere I walk, but we're both loving starting our lives together and enjoying this time we have together before he leaves in late March.  I'll update more in a few days about what we're doing and everything else that's going on, but for now I'm just enjoying my new home in  Hawaii. 

The Beginning of Forever....

A husband, a new name, soon a new home... a new life!!  I always said I'd start a blog once I got married.  well, I didn't think it would ever be this soon, but fate came along!  Soo, here it is, the beginning of forever!....  Planning a full on wedding in one month is not easy to do!  I had no idea there was so much that went into a wedding.  The place, the colors, the rings, who will marry us, the cake, the flower girl & ring bearer, the food, the decorations, this list goes on and on.  Luckily, the easiest part of the whole thing was my dress. It was the third one I tried on, and from the minute we walked in to the minute we purchased and walked out was all under an hour.  Whew!  But after all the stress and hurry, it turned out absolutely PERFECT!!  A huge thanks to Heather, Brandy, Rachel, Mary, my mom and everyone else who helped.  Without any of them none of it would've worked.  It truely was the best day of my life! Sadly, Chase only had a week of leave from the Army and had to return that next Wednesday.  We have both been doing everything we possibly can every day to get the paperwork done, turned in and processed to now get me down there to Hawaii with him, but it's taking longer than we thought.  Hopefully though, it should only be another week or two until I can get there and we can be together.  Because being newlyweds over Skype and the phone is just NOT fair! So please keep your fingers crossed for us that it wont be much longer...
