We are so grateful that God brought us safe to Camp Lejeune and that Katie has her and Andrew’s keys to their new home.
It was no easy feat for the two of us to get all these suitcases off the luggage carousel at the airport, into the shuttle van, into our first hotel, into our rental car, out of the rental car and into the new home. We are both so happy to have that part of this journey over! Today we shopped till we dropped.
Tomorrow we have to attend a fire safety course on Base and try to get cable/internet services set up. Wow, we are heading into December already. Do you have your tree yet?

Whew—y’all won’t have to go to the gym for 6 months after hauling all that luggage! What an exciting time for Katie, setting up their first home. She looks so happy, and that’s wonderful. Have fun!
And yes, our tree is up, and a pine wreath on the front door.
What a wonderful first home!
No tree this year since we’ll be gone. But I did buy a little advent wreath.
Hurray for the transfer of big bags! That’s a lot of luggage to ‘lug’ around! Now you won’t have to do any workouts the rest of the week.
You and Katie could go into the moving business! Way to go!
No tree here until the middle of the month because I leave it up until the Epiphany in January.
What a beautiful home they found! Now that all the hard work of lugging the luggage there is over and done…you two can have some fun. I’m sure the house will look much different by the time you leave.
You two must be exhausted…but Katie looks very happy!
I’ll be resting for you…lol!
Oh my heavens! What a lot of luggage for you two to haul. You must’ve eaten your spinach. Is that base housing? It looks wonderful outside and inside. I know that Katie will enjoy putting a home together for her husband and herself. She certainly looks happy!
Yes Vee, this is base housing. Thank you for your encouragement.
The radiance of Katie’s smile says it all!
Sweet!! SO glad for Katie and Andrew. And how special that you get to share in the setting up of their new lives together!
Wow, that is a lot of luggage! You all deserve a massage! :v)
Katie’s house looks like a really nice place and I’m sure she can hardly wait to be all settled in.
Must take efficient team work to get all those luggages hauled in and out of cars and vans and reach their final destination! But I can also sense the excitement and joy in helping your daughter settle in her new home. What a wonderful time to start something new… with Christmas coming and all the festive preparations. Have a wonderful time there, Ellen!
Well, you girls definitely don’t need to go to the gym for a workout! So glad you made it safely and how exciting to start making the house a home!
Happy that you arrived safe and sound. And now the fun of setting up house!
Katie is so blessed to have you for her mom, and your help getting set up in her new home! That sure is a lot of luggage, no wonder you are relied to have it all safely in the new place…now the fun part comes…unpacking and setting up house. Enjoy your time together.
Big Busy Days for YOU!
What a pretty house. You girls ought to have fun making it homey.
I bet Katie is so relieved to be there and settling into her new home! I’m sure she’s very thankful for all of your support and help. Christmas tree, not yet. Maybe this weekend…
I was reading back over several of your recent posts! What a busy time you have had! I hope that things are slowing down some and you are having fun! What a nice house your daughter and son-in-law will have!

Hurray for Katie in her new home! I’m so glad you get to be with her to help her set up house.
Very nice quarters! I am sure you will work with Katie to add some special touches, but I think it will look its very best with the addition of Andrew to the place.
Very Nice! She will make a lovely home for the two of them, and it looks like it has room to grow into too 😉
Glad to hear of the safe travel! It looks like a cozy place.
Tree will be this weekend…. we are getting a Miss-Baby sized tree so that she can really enjoy it. 🙂
Beautiful photos of Katie in her new home. I love the label ..homemaking!
