Hey look out for that moving van!

Hi all my wonderful readers!

Brandon and I are closing on our house on Thursday...TOMORROW! I'm so excited, we will be moving in this weekend!

We have had some hiccups along the way.. but that's okay! I have rented a U-HAUL Truck for this Saturday at 8 AM. I have experienced God's blessings and His ability to wrap His arms around me in the last few weeks. Amazing how He takes my fears, worries, and throws them so far away. I love Him for it.

Please pray that all our furniture comes in, and that we love it. And that we can finally get a TV for Brandon since we do have NFL Sunday Ticket this fall. (and this fall only since we are new to Direct TV) Let's just say we are so happy to finally start our lives in our house. Not to say the Value Place hasn't been good to us... :)Next weekend, my good friend Jessica Lindsey is getting married to Matt Barnes! I'm excited to be one of her bridesmaids and have another good friend be married and live in Pensacola. Then on August 16 Charity and Jonathan Butler are getting married, I am so jealous of her! She doesn't have to change her name!

Well... until next time. I will talk to you all after I move in!!!

WOWSER!

Hello All! Long time no talk! Sorry, we've been busy!

Weekend Update: 4th of July! Brandon and I were both off for the 4th and although we were supposed to lay our wood floors, that didn't happen, we got to have a fun weekend together. Friday we mainly spent our day looking at furniture for the house. We don't have any living room or bedroom furniture so that's what we were out for. We were hoping for some Independence Day Sales!

We fell in love with a living room from Home Place in Pensacola. See our entertainment center below:
We are hoping to put our wood floors in this week, get the trim up, get the sprinkler system installed, throw some sod and move in by July 26! We will see...

If we do move in by the 26th, then I owe my dad a new pair of Costa Del Mar sunglasses for his birthday. haha

On Saturday the 5th, I got my haircut, and we shopped for some more furniture in Milton and found our bedroom suite at Badcock's. We then had a cookout at my parents house, swam in the pool, and watched Charlie Bartlett. Which was interesting....

Our week was fairly busy, with work, softball games, Crossroads, work, cleaning the house, work, best buy, etc...

Weekend Update:
On Friday Brandon and I had to attend a mortgage class in order to get a mortgage from our lender. It was mostly boring, with some interesting times. We ate lunch at New York Nick's downtown so that was fun. We went to Tuscan Oven for dinner and saw Wall-E . We didn't like Wall-E all that much... just FYI.

Saturday we worked at our house trying to get it ready to put the wood floors in. We are so excited to get done and moved in! We will definitely be having a party once that happens. Saturday night an old coworker of mine was getting married so we went to her wedding at the NAS Officer's Club. It was really fun a very interesting wedding/reception...bad dj...whew.

Sunday we went to Church and then did laundry, made homemade pizzas and funnel cakes at Brandon's parents. Then we over to Matt and Elizabeth's parents house for their "Bon Voyage" party. We are really going to miss our movies, dinner (mainly Tuscan Oven towards the end there) and just plain hang out buddies. We wish you guys the best in Texas!

Well until next time... have a great day!

xoxo,
Krista (and Brandon)
