Our Apartment...

So far we only have the Kitchen and Guest Bathroom complete, but here are some pictures of them!! I am loving having a bigger Kitchen, and finally putting out some things.. I love RED! And I love how the kitchen has turned out...
Our guest bathroom is NGU Colors :) ... wasn't done on purpose but funny how it worked out... We have Red furniture in our living room now, a pretty much Red kitchen and our guest room is black, and red with the bathroom, white, black and red too..
Guess we are Crusaders at heart, or just years there, put the colors as some of my favorites...
I will post more pictures soon, after some things get hung on the walls, and I clean up a little bit more!!

Also,
We went to church today again at East Cooper, and really enjoyed the Service.. We are really enjoying too meeting new people and having friends...

Lots of Driving!!

Well this weekend has proved to be very busy already...
Friday night we enjoyed a wonderful evening with the newlywed class at East Cooper Baptist Church.. We had an oyster roast.. it was so GOOD!!! We got to meet some wonderful young couples, and find some great new friends.
We will be visiting back there on Sunday for Church!

Today, was exteremely busy, but good!
Patrick and his Dad left Charleston around 7am to head to Jacksonville. They picked up our Red Couch and Chair for our living room. My Parents gave us this living room set, after they got a new set right before Christmas. WE LOVE IT!! and now we have Living room furniture..  When Patrick's Dad arrived this morning to get Patrick, he dropped off our WASHER/DRYER and a DESK for our Guest ROOM!! YAY for our house and all the furniture!!! :)  Mr. Turner was such a blessing to us, by getting this stuff today... THANK YOU !!

While the men were traveling towards Florida, I left at 6:30am for Greenville. Erin Wall was a Co worker of mine, and she was having a baby shower!! Pate will be here in a few weeks, and I was so excited to go celebrate with her, and all the other co workers. I have missed them, and it was good to be in Greenville and get to visit back with the Admissions office, Financial aid office and Registar office... :) These are some great ladies and friends, and it was good fellowship for sure.. Before leaving the area I had to make a stop by my other family, the Deyton's and see little Emma!! She is growing so fast!!

Then back to Charleston for all of us it was!!

The Living room looks complete and I am enjoying washing clothes after not having a washer/dryer for over a week now!!!  YAY!!!

2 Months!!

Two Month Anniversary Today!!! ... I can't believe how quickly 2 months have flown by. But then when I stop and see what all took place with Wedding, Honeymoon, Settling In, Christmas and Moving, I can begin to see where the 2 months went :) . It has been a lot of fun already, getting to see one another daily instead of the phone and travels. It is a huge blessing to be married to such a great man and to spend every day with him!! We have been enjoying Charleston, and seeing so many things!  Tonight I am making Steak and Potatos and then pop a movie in for a great evening together!!!
Happy Anniversary to us!!

Weeknight Fun!!

I am enjoying Greatly being married to a high school coach. Last night we attended the high school's basketball games, and spent some more time with our wonderful friends, the Grants. We have become very close to them, and I have enjoyed getting to know another Coach's wife, and having another newlywed wife to talk to as well. She is a wonderful encouragement to me, and has great advice after being married for a year to a football coach!!!..
We had a blast at the game, and tonight we will be back up at the school. Patrick tonight has to take tickets for the game, and I will go sit and help him. I am enjoying getting to know the other staff and families at the school. This school supports Patrick alot, and that is wonderful to see!!!
We are getting excited as well to attend the Sunday School Social this Friday night!! I am looking forward to the fellowship, fun and bible study!
Everyone have a wonderful week! Will post soon and I promise I am uploading pictures soon as well!!!

Blessings!!!

We are so thankful for all the blessings that continue to flow our way. We honestly don't deserve it, and we want to thank everyone who has helped us with so much. We thankfully are settled in the apartment, and have realized as we finally unpacked all our Wedding gifts, honestly how blessed we were. Also, for all the furniture pieces that have been given to us. As we approached this move we knew we would need to buy a washer/dryer, a dining table, full mattress set for our guest bed, coffee table, some things for a guest bathroom etc. We are so excited and humbled by all the amazing gifts. We now have a guest bathroom completely decorated and set. We were blessed with a dining table by his parents, and through some friends and other people, we were able to have a brand new washer and dryer for a price we are still amazed by. Thank you, THANK YOU!!!..  God is continuing to bless us, and we are so thankful!!
We are in the process of still seeking a full mattress set and coffee table, but we are finding on Craigs list that might be possible as well!!...

New Place~~

We are loving our new Apartment.. We moved 2 car loads on Thursday night the 14th and got our key!! We were so excited!!! Friday the 15th was a day of moving car loads and packing up the apartment. We got mostly everything over there but the large furniture.. On Saturday was the fun day, hehe.. Patrick's parents came from Loris, and helped us move the furniture. They brought us our dining table and helped us set up our new place.. It was such a blessing!!! We spent Sunday afternoon after church unpacking some more, and we finally finished on Monday the 18th. I will post pictures soon, I think Patrick is going to hang things tonight!! :)
I am in love with my Kitchen and finally having a pantry... :)

We also visited a great church on Sunday.. East Cooper Baptist Church.  We went to a 9:00am Traditional service, and then Sunday School in the newlywed class. We met some great new friends, and are going to go to a social oyster roast with them on Friday night!
Posting pictures and updates soon...

PS. Princess loves her new home and has become a huge Daddy's girl!!!

Moving Day 01-14-09

We are excited today that we are moving into an apartment here in Charleston!! We have loved the Condo, but financially and space wise, this move is a great opportunity for us!!! We had planned on moving the weekend we got back from our Honeymoon, but due to jobs, and not sure where we might be, we waited until now. We are still seeking the right Job and situation for our Family and for God's will, but until any doors open we are calling Charleston Home and this relocating is a huge Blessing!!  We were blessed to live here for almost 2 months of our married lives, while Patrick has lived in the Condo since the beginning of August! It was a furnished Condo with all expenses included with the rent, which was a help, but we have now been Blessed with furniture and wonderful gifts from so many of you from the Wedding, that we can now furnish our own place. We are Blessed beyond measure and so grateful for our friends and family who have provided things for us. I am so excited about this move, and for the future that Patrick and I have ahead of us. Please continue to pray for him, as he seeks jobs and positions as they come available.. I am learning as the wife of a football coach, not only the game, but that our home is between us not location. We will be getting our key today at 3pm and signing our lease, I am excited because neither of us have lived here, so this is new and ours together!!! We will then be moving things in this 5 mile relocating between our 2 cars until Saturday. We are so thankful that his parents are coming to move our big furniture, and provide us with a dining room table as well! We will be getting our living room set from my parents in the following days, a small trip to Jacksonville will occur!! :)
Thank you everyone for praying for us.  I will write soon with how the move went and about our new HOME!

Visiting Churches

Last Sunday January 3rd, we visited First Baptist Charleston. It was really neat to see this old building. It was founded in 1682 I believe.. The church is 327 years old, but the building has only been around since the 1800's. It was built like many of the churches you would find in the New England area of the country. It was all wood inside, and had the wooden doors to open to enter each pew. It was very Historical. We enjoyed church greatly. We attended the early 8:30am service. Everyone was very nice. We found however that this might not be the church we will join, so we are still looking. We are keeping our options open, and seeking God in His direction of where we will get plugged in at.

This Sunday January 10th, we visited Northwoods Baptist Church in North Charleston. It is a growing church with some recent new additions in buildings. The chruch itself was beautiful. We attended the 11:00 am Non Traditional service. It was a great service, the Pastor was very good. It was more of a laid back casual service, but was nice. We are going to continue visiting some other churches in the weeks to follow, as we continue to Pray about where we might be able to be used.

The journey of church hunting has been very good for us so far, we are learning about the culture and lifestyle here on the coast and we are finding where our fundamentals and stands are with a home church. It has been a great building experience so far as Husband and Wife to step out and search together and find what we are going to stand for as a family. :0

New Friends

Last night we got to have over some great friends. It was the first time we entertained together as husband and wife. We had such a great time. I made Calzones, Pepperoni, ham and cheese, and we served Salad and Bread Sticks. I enjoyed getting to share recipes and talk girl talk with such wonderful people. We look forward to hanging out with the Grants again very soon!!
Princess seemed to enjoy the company, but we found her off in the guest room sleeping the entire time... she is not exactly the social butterfly afterall :).
