We should be having our housewarming soon, probably July 28. There were just a few things to finish up around the house, most of which has been painting. I've made the dining room lime green (it works trust me!), the study a dark brick red, and a soft sage in our master bedroom. And of course the guest bedroom had a blue stripe horizontally.
The yard and garden are coming along nicely! This has been Alec's passion these few weekends past and it has definitely become a part of the house to hang out in!
Meet (Orange) Julius, a.k.a. "Pawsworth".
He is all of 5 lb. full-grown, and super cuddly to boot. Ginger is learning to like him, and at least tolerates him for now. She's surprisingly wussy when it comes to getting near him on her own; but if he wants to cuddle next to her she stays put and lets him.
I've been really impressed with how quickly they got along as well as they have so far!
Alec is getting settled in well at work. He's taking over the FCJ (Foreign Criminal Jurisdiction) spot, a unique position in the Marine Corps Judge Advocate community tailored to the circumstances of Camp Smedley Butler. This mainly entails liaising with local police and informing SOFA status members/dependents of their rights and responsibilities if a crime is committed on island. It's a pretty cool job, actually!
I have applied for a few jobs but not gotten anything yet. I'm back to writing my novel (actually rewriting), and I babysit sometimes for a few close friends of mine. Fortunately, it's not hard to keep busy here!
Otherwise there's not much to report. Sorry to all you who keep asking for updates, but really no news is good news :)
