Casa Chaux

Here are some pictures of the new house! We love it, and we're working to make it more us everyday! Our next project will be revamping the master bedroom and ensuite bath.

Til next time!

DANG! It's been AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGEESSS!

WOW! So much has been happening the past few months since I moved to our new base. We're fortunate enough to be at Andrews AFB in Maryland....literally right down the street from nifty neighbors like the president and Congress, just to name a few ;)

Bubba and I are in the process of making some major decisions for our little family. We're hoping that this round of infertility treatments works. It will be our first real try with the Clomid. We've also decided to pursue adoption and are looking at the Ukraine (international), Barker Foundation (domestic newborn) as well as the Maryland State Foster-Adoption program through our county social services. We are also exploring me becoming a SAHW/M. So, I guess Operation: Mini-Chaux is in full effect! :)

Hope to keep up more often! I miss posting here, so expect it more often especially if I will be at home fulltime! LOL

Off to crochet some fun things and clean some house! Lots of adventures en la casa de Bubba y Fochaux ;)

AHHHHHH! The new house!

Well, we bit the bullet and decided to live in base housing. About a week ago, DH received paper orders in hands and then emailed them to me so that I could make the advance application for housing...and let me tell you that this worked out waaaaaaaaaaay to our advantage. I was able to secure a 1700sf twin (duplex for all you non-Phillyites out there) with a 1.5 car garage and more toilets than I think a girl could ever want or need (Cindyrella I will surely be). I'll be moving in on July 1, shortly after Bubba returns to finish out his tour overseas. I'm thankful that I'll be able to have the house all setup and get settled in so he doesn't have to stress out when he gets home permanently in October.

In any case, the house is 3 bedrooms 2.5 baths with said garage and LARGE common areas and a nice big yard. I'll be sure to post pictures as soon as we get into our new home (and if I don't do it in a timely fashion, feel free to harass me about it)

Til then,

<3 M
