Veterans Day

Thank you to all our Veterans and those on Active Duty.

Last night Tony and I went to Dave & Buster's for dinner and games. We created a horse, The Big Kahuna, on the Horse Track game, and only won 1 out of 10 races. We had a great time as always!
Tony was off work today for Veterans Day so we began the quest for a sofa...

We visited multiple furniture stores with an idea of our perfect sofa for the space we have in our apartment, but we were coming up empty over and over again. We couldn't believe how difficult it was to find a sofa, in stock and ready for delivery, but that is just part of island life! No Ikea or Value City Furniture here! We almost purchased a Custom sofa but it was going to take 6-8 weeks for production in California and delivery to the island.

While driving to a late lunch, a delivery truck passed by us for ABC Furniture - so we immediately googled it on our phones! It was only 5 miles away from where we were so we made our way over. Tony immediately spotted THE sectional - we measured it and it was the perfect size! After searching all day long we have finally found a sofa!! Dave, the salesman was VERY helpful and extremely friendly. The sofa is being delivered to our apartment on Friday morning.

Our apartment is really coming together! We have purged a lot and found a spot for almost everything that we have left. The sofa will really complete the living room, with only a coffee table or ottoman left to buy. Pictures to come! After purchasing the sofa, we went to Best Buy and purchased our cable wire so we could position the tv just right (thanks Brian and Kim - paid for with your gift)! Everything is set up and ready for the delivery of the sofa.

On our way home we received a call from our property manager that there was a leak coming from our apartment... leaking in the fire escape/stairwell all the way down 3 floors! She discovered it was coming from the dishwasher. Hopefully we will get an update on this tomorrow.

There are flash flood warnings this whole week, but we haven't seen more than a drizzle. But we have seen lots of rainbows!

We officially have our first guests coming to visit! Jill has booked her airfare to visit in December. Gauzza is flying here in January. And it looks like Chris Eldgridge will be our very first guest, coming out the first week in December. Reserve your stay now! :)

Busy upcoming weekend with the Jack Johnson concert on Friday night and the JDRF Walk on Saturday. Thank you to everyone who has donated! If you would like to support the research for a cure to Juvenile Diabetes, please see the link on the right side of our blog!

Sorry for not posting much lately, but our internet is not hooked up correctly yet - but don't fret it should be all set up in the next week.
We love and miss you all.
XOXO
