First 'Real' Dinner in our New Home ~ Little by Little, Bit by Bit!

Our table :)

Some order is finally prevailing... many more boxes but we are making

true and real progress! 

I don't know where my icons are! I remember packing them...

we have about 5 more boxes marked fragile in our

master bedroom closet... :)

I was able to find the icons that were on the window sill

of our old place...I tried to recreated this a bit

as I did love that space!

We kept the table small (the one leaf is under the table)

and so used our almost-island counter for the food...

Thankfully there is a diner near by that has really good food

for great prices and portions that equal minimum of two meals

per meal! New Jersey, as Mr. Husband says, is a 'diner state' :).

Well, we are tired but loving our new home.

My parents started their trip back to Michigan today....

It was such a good visit...

Everywhere I look, I see my Dad's work...

yesterday he fixed the light switches in our bathroom...

now our second light and fan works... and he hung

towel bars in the bathrooms, a hook on the door...

he spent time researching our dishwasher,

which we think we will have to replace sadly,

but Dad saved us a bill in trying to find out if it could be fixed!

I unpacked all our breakable dishes and glassware I think now...

we have to figure out pantry options yet for shelving,

so I can unpack all of that...

Lots of laughter, talks and teasing Cleo went on and lots of meals

at the local diner; it was a truly blessed time and one 

I thank God for!

Now we are praying for a safe trip home for 

my parents and that they can visit us here again

in the future!
