Making our house a home

Can’t believe we’ve lived here for 11 days already! It’s been A LOT of work but our house is almost a home…most of the unpacking is done…just our offices and the garage to work on, now. Poor Allan–this is supposed to be his vacation and every time he turns around I’m asking him to hang pictures or install something or carry things up and down the stairs! I must say, he is kinda handy to have around.

We celebrated our 25th anniversary with a romantic dinner on the deck overlooking the ocean at the West Coast Wilderness Lodge. The ambience, food and company were lovely–25 years later and I’m more in love with my husband than ever! Our big celebration will come in September when we cruise to Alaska. My sister, Roxanne and her fiance, Brian gave us an incredibly thoughtful anniversary gift–a “Renewal of Vows” ceremony/package to take place on our cruise.

We’re looking forward to the next few weeks as we have many visitors making their way over. Allan, Noel and his friend Kyle brought the boat home last weekend so we’re ready to explore the waterways. Good company, fresh crab and a good bottle of wine…sounds like a great summer!
