Welcome to Our Home!

We thought that some of our family and friends might want to see what we call our home! We are still in need of making it more homey, but we will continue to add as the year goes on. Our hope would be that all of you could come see it with your own eyes, but since that might not be possible we will utilize this blog :)

This is what you see when you walk into our bedroom. We just got new furniture from the warehouse...Lets just say it is a huge improvement from the light bamboo furniture and army bedding that we had when we first got here. We love the dark wood and it actually reminds us of what our bedroom looked like back in Nebraska!!!

This is from the other corner of our bedroom. Just to give you an idea of where the bathroom, closets, and kitchenette are located. 

Since we were not able to get a house on island we have two BQ rooms. So this is our second room that we have made into our living room, dinning room, and kitchen. 

These are the two love-seats that furniture warehouse provided. You can see the bamboo that I was talking about, but what you don't see is the hideous palm printed fabric! I decided to cover the love-seats with brown sheets which I feel like has worked out pretty well.  Also, note our nice dinning room table (haha card table) in the back....it is actually really nice to have a place to sit down and have dinner or even have a few people over. Hosting is not what it use to be which really makes Mindi sad sometimes. But she cheers up when she opens the blinds and sees palm trees and the ocean. 

Here is our KITCHEN!!! Yes, it is very small but we make do. Mindi actually has to use the floor as counter space sometimes :) The doors led to two walk in closets, which has made it very easy to store everything that we brought out with us. 

 We just put up our tree and other Christmas decorations. It is really nice to have the lit tree...all that we are missing now is the snow!
