House Pictures

Ooftah.  It's been almost a month to-the-day since our last update!  Much has happened... here's our life in bullet points for the past month:

- Dec. 19th - Fly to Portland/Vancouver for Peter's mother's funeral

- Dec. 25th - Begin the long flight home

- Dec. 27th - Arrive home on Kwaj

- Dec. 29th - Friends Ben and Anna Byrd arrive

- Jan. 3rd - Friends (and Ministers) Bob and Larry arrive

- Jan. 10th - Bob and Larry depart  :-(

- Jan. 16th - Ben and Anna depart  :-(

If you read between the lines you'll know there was MUCH activity accomplished during that timeframe.  Suffice for now to say it involved: sweet fellowship, diving, bowling, eating, visiting Ebeye, sleeping in, diving, eating, boating, snorkeling, golf cart tours, beach bar-b-que, diving, pool, foosball, biking, diving... you get the idea, right?

Now I'll share some photos I took before we left of our humble abode.  Hopefully it'll give you some sense of our space and where we spend our evenings! :-)

Dining room - The window looks out on our back patio.  The kitchen is to the right in this photo and the living room is behind the picture-taker.  

Shells.  :)  

Looking into the living room from the front door.  We had JUST gotten all new furniture before we left; it's quite nice! (Thanks to the Army.)  Oh, fiddlesticks (hah! my mom used to say that!) my photo is already out-dated... since this photo was taken I have some pictures hanging on the walls.

Bathroom

Master Bedroom

Back of the house - the door on the left enters into the laundry room and then kitchen.  The lower level windows on the right look into the dining room.  The upper level windows on the right are in the guest bedroom and the small window on the left is in the bathroom.  

Peter's primary mode of transport.  (Although currently not functional due to a broken pedal.)

Marissa's primary mode of transport... in desperate need of a new chain!  

Kitchen space... with our luggage all packed and ready to go!  Mind you, the large suitcase on the right was empty (with another empty suitcase inside of it).  We managed to fill them both with Costco purchases to bring back with us... including 12 pounds of coffee!  That should last us another 6 months.  :-)

Now that I'm re-reading this post, I realize I'm missing a picture of the guest bedroom.  Bah!  Ok, picture a small room with laminate floor, one twin bed (with a yellow comforter), one (brand-new!) double bed (with a lime green comforter) and a desk.  There you have it.  :-)  It's nothing lavish, but we'll do our best to make sure you're comfortable when you come!
