We spotted the Space Needle as we neared Seattle and the sign for the Navy Base.
The scenery was beautiful and it was an awesome sunny day.
Before we knew it we saw a sign for our new hometown: Marysville!
We finally pulled up to our new house and were greeted by our landlords, Ron and Rose. They are quickly becoming friends as well as landlords.
Saturday after seeing the house, Ron and Rose drove us around and showed us how to get from our house to the base and how to get to the exchange and commissary. They are retired military and it is so nice to have them as a resource. They said the commissary and exchange are not the cheapest places to shop and the gas is more expensive, which is so different then Hawaii. We stayed at the Navy Lodge that night and enjoyed a nice dinner out at the Golden Corral thanks to a gift card from Ron and Rose.
Before we knew it Monday was here, the day the movers came! It is such a good feeling to know you are getting all your stuff but not a good feeling knowing all the work that lies ahead. As the movers were getting started one of our neighbors came over and introduced herself and welcomed us to their neighborhood with fresh baked chocolate chip cookies. They are Christians and one of her daughters homeschools and the other teaches at a Christian school. Awesome!
Once things got started, it moved pretty quickly. We had a total of 8 crates!
We only had one thing damaged. One of the posts on our headboard, at the bottom got cracked and a long sliver came off.

I think the kitchen is always the worst to unpack so we do that first. There is just so much to unwrap, you end up with mountains of paper.
And then comes the task of figuring where everything goes and fits. I am happy to say that today is Thursday and we are almost totally unpacked. I can't stand dragging it out.
Darrick reported to work today and was home by 3:00! We are loving shore duty and it is just starting!
