We have furniture!

One of the bad things about getting married young is we don't have anything for a house. We still lived with our parents until T went into the Marines and I am still at my moms while he's finishing school. So the last few months I've been trying to find furniture within our budget for when we move out on our own. I'm so happy to say we finally have everything. Well everything except an idea of where on earth we will be living. T still had not received his final orders. Fingers crossed we get them soon so we can start apartment hunting. After all he graduates in 2 weeks!

Getting Back On Track

I've been a horrible blogger. I have managed to read and comment on blogs but can't seem to write my own. Except at 3 am..... In my head. That's when all my good ideas come but I have no desire to grab my phone or laptop to type then. I originally wanted to have my blog as my own journal. Now we are less than a month away from getting Ts final duty station orders. I really want to document this time. Soon we will be moving in together. I cannot wait! We haven't lived together in 2 years and I'm do happy!!!!!!! By the time our move happens we will have been married 4 months so it's about time!

Other than orders for the Marine Corps we bought a Mazda 3. I love it! Great gas mileage and it's so much fun to drive. We are also keeping my gas guzzling SUV for the time being since its paid off. Plus I happen to love my baby. We are the proud owners of two cars and no car payments thanks to very generous parents.

And since we eloped I missed out on the usual pre-wedding activities, but my amazing new siblings are throwing me a big bridal shower next weekend. I'm excited and it makes me feel so welcome that they wanted to throw me a shower. My husband is the youngest of 5 kids and I've been very close with two of his sisters for a few years. I guess that's a good thing about being together for almost 4 years. I'm very close with his family. ;)

Have a great week!
