Our furniture arrived (with only one additional delay..) Friday morning.
I've unpacked about 3/4s of the boxes, and all of the furniture is in place. We have a brand new bed being delivered tomorrow, thanks to Daddy's Christmas spirit.
Mike and I have been wandering around the apartment trying to decide where to hang all of our art/pictures.. I think at this point we're down to the boxes we don't feel like unpacking because nothing inside is crucial. Will post pictures when the place is not such a mess.
I fly to Baltimore Friday early afternoon for another wedding planning weekend.
..fabulous..

Enjoying Dayton so far, and the apartment.. from the floor still.
Carrier said he would be here Monday, call Sunday to confirm. Never called, never showed up on Monday. Got a hold of him Tuesday, said he would be here today (Thursday) and that he'd call Weds to confirm. Never called. Isn't here. Called him today, says he'll be here 8:30am tomorrow, Friday.
If he isn't here by 5pm tomorrow, he gets in trouble.. I kind of think it'd be worth the extra day's wait for us to be able to file a real, official complaint.
Not to mention the guy's helper.. who has fake/real? prison tattoos. The tear drops. And is creepy.
Had to reschedule a relatively important time-crucial doctor's appointment on base that was supposed to be tomorrow morning, to next week. He beeettter be there.
Ick. Just want my furniture, so I can get real 'work' done.

Dayton
We spent our first night in our new apartment last night. It's very cute, not as big as the house in Enid, but not bad.
Furniture etc should show up Monday or Tuesday we hope.
Dayton is suuuuch an improvement, as far as restaurants and stores go, as compared to Enid. Yesterday we went to Target :-), Home Depot, Lowes, Chipotle, Panera, and several others we've been missing. My new favorite, however, is the Meijer. It's the little things..
We got into the apartment in the morning, and with the blinds open it was so light and airy! And then it got dark.. and we realized that there are no light fixtures in the big rooms.. just in closets and bathrooms.. so we went out and bought lamps. It's still not light enough at night, but we have some more lamps coming with our furniture, so hopefully that should do it.
I'm looking for a job/jobs, working on wedding planning, grad school application, getting apartment ready to really live in, etc.
Mike found out today that for the 6 months he has before school starts at AFIT, he is going to be a commander! He is the new.. let me get this right.. 88th MSS (Mission Support Squadron) Section Commander. Apparently he has 6 people directly below him, and then numerous others below each of them. A little intimidating the first day on the job, but I think he's excited. He has an office of his own, which is nice compared to his desk in the middle of the JAG office at Vance.
Bedtime soon, goodnight!

Too much furniture!
Yikes! We will not have room in Ohio for our furniture.. Only by 2 or 3 things, but still!
Trying to decide what to do with it. We shall see.
And NO, I'm not getting rid of the green couch!

Almost back to Enid
Well, Vacation is over.
We are sitting in a Motel6 in Columbia, Missouri with the cats (but the front desk only thinks we have one cat, so shh..). Leave tomorrow morning for our last leg of the trip back to Enid.
Vacation went well! Aside from our stomach virus, that is. Mike and I were both knocked out for a couple of days, but are finally back to eating normally.
The wedding is officially at Grammy's house on the shore, and the ceremony itself is at Christ Episcopal Church in St. Michael's. Met our caterer, she is wonnnderful!
Next to decide on is music (have a few options we like), flowers, photographer, and a cake!
Working on hotel rooms, etc. Secret details to be revealed to those who need to know!
Our house in Enid is all set to be rented the week after we leave, and this morning in Dayton we found a wonderful apartment and put in our application. We will be all ready to move in on January 15th when we arrive back in Dayton.
The next few days, after lots of sleep tomorrow afternoon at home, will be getting ready for pack-up day (Jan. 12), working on little things before renters move in, etc. Also loving on the kitties so they don't get too screwed up with all this car travel.
Hope all is well!
