I promised a happier post!

Although this past week has been terrible with Rene out of the country and silly Turkey being.. well just plain silly, I did promise a happier post. So with that being said Rene is back home and I couldn't be happier, luckily the week he was gone went by quickly. Even though the last few days of last week were the worst! We did get our car this past Thursday and unfortunately need to wait a week before we can get it registered, since I "wasn't allowed" to do so >:(  This is still a sore subject if you couldn't tell

So while Rene was out of the country I was able to get a few of the rooms put together and most of the boxes full of stuff that we really don't need put away. I also got a few picture printed and some pictures up as well. Definitely starting to feel more like home!

I love this one! I got the idea from pinterest of course. It's our first dance with the lyrics to the song :)

I did get my sewing machine out and started reconstructing a t-shirt which would have turned out pretty cool if it wasn't so tight...haha. Now I just need to figure out what stitches are for what and I'll be golden! I guess I should start reading the sewing book, my Grandma Pat and Cheryl gave me, instead of just looking at the picture :) Since I can't just go to the nearest Hancock Fabric store and finding a fabric store here is deeming to be a larger task then anticipated I was able to find a website with some fabric I think will work great for the dresses I want to make. I know what you are thinking, Pamela in a dress? wait wait wait did she just say she was going to MAKE a dress?.  I know it's crazy talk! But I found a blog with an awesome tutorial on how to make a maxi skirt ( The skirt has a flap like yoga pants! And don't laugh I understand the lady in the picture is pregnant, but these dresses are super comfy. Hmm now I sound like one of those girls that makes up excuses to wear stretchy pants all the time...)

We also got the Thank you cards in and I've been working on getting them all put together and hopefully will get them sent out within the week! Which also reminds me that I need to get these puppy treats sent out to the pups for their birthday! I can't believe my little furbabies are going to be a year old and Mama Bean is 2!

I am not sure if I made it known but I did get a job here on base but the paperwork and amount of shots and blood work needed is insane! I am still waiting on the blood work to get back to prove that I have the antibodies to fight off chicken pox... If it weren't for that I would have started orientation today. Lame fish fo sho!
