This room use to be bright red with lots of white metal shelving attached to the walls. Mark spent a week painting and putting up the wainscoting. Not too shabby for a first time do it your self job!!
It has been such a long time since I've posted. We are still alive and trying our best to get settled in our new home. Most of the boxes are unpacked and it is beginning to feel like our home. Our biggest adjustment so far is the weather. We have been fighting off head colds for over 4 weeks. I finally broke down yesterday and went to the doctor where I received a shot of antibiotics. I have never been so happy to get a shot! I am tired of being sick. So far we love the area and find the people here to be very friendly and willing to help in any way possible. We are expecting family in town for Thanksgiving and look forward to seeing some friends coming through from Gitmo. We have so much to be THANKFUL for this year. Mark is loving his new job and is thanking God daily for bringing him into a relaxed and encouraging job environment. The kids are adjusting to stateside life and settling into a bit of routine. However, our conversations often return to "remember in Gitmo when.....". We will always cherish our time on island and the many friends we made through the years.
