Since we got back into NY on Monday we have done some overhauling of the apartment. This is what it looked like when we first moved in back in January:

Anyone who knows me knows that I am the type of person who loves to have people over. I love to feed you all kinds of good food and make you feel so at home that you never want to leave (or if you do, you come back again soon). We went for MONTHS without pictures on the walls or a rug on the floor. I would sit in the apartment while Beau was at work surrounded by everything new. Nothing we had in the apartment was anything that we brought from home so when we came back after the wedding I had this unbelievable NEED to make this place feel like HOME. We brought back pictures, our rug, goodies that we got as wedding gifts, blankets, pillows, candles, books, baskets...you name it and if we could jam it into our car we did it! Here is what our place looks like now:

We also stocked up on groceries. Our fridge has never been this full since we moved here. Now that we have Ruby here, I think grocery shopping will be much easier and more enjoyable. And HOPEFULLY more cost effective!
So as I sit here on this cold and rainy day I think to myself that I now feel 32% married. Life hasn't changed that much at all and I like it that way. I look around the apartment and I think to myself how good it feels to be settled into our first home as husband and wife. I am so anxious to really delve deep into our new adventure. I want to be the best wife I can be. I want to cook. I want to do dishes (or at least load them into the dish washer). I want to do laundry. I want to be so domestic and I want to welcome our loved ones into our home with open arms and stuff them with all kinds of good stuff!
AND...as I was writing this my HUBBY went down to get the mail and look what I got...
In Gods Love,
Beau and Kenz
So many things to say!
ReplyDeleteYou have always done a great job making me feel at home, no matter where we are, and making me never wanna leave and come back soon when I had to! Also, you still owe me some...chicken carbanara or something fancy like that. ;)
Your sneak peek is amazing. It looks like a HOME (I think the lamp gives a homey candle-lit glow which helps)!!
32% How random. Not even a round 33% (which would be 1/3), but 32%. I miss you. hahaha
P.S. You didn't even mention your HAIR!! haha! :)
