Happy 4th of July

Hi everyone-
    I hope you had an amazing 4th of July. This was my second 4th in a row without Justin, but it is reassuring to know I'll never have to spend one away from him again. I have had some amazing friends and family to get me though this deployment, and today was no different. My coworker Brittany (who has become a very close friend of mine), her amazing husband, Devin, my Aunt Rayne, cousin Ben, Mom, stepdad, brother Galen, and his wife Sarah all came over today. It was nice to finally have the place unpacked and be able to have people over. We all just lounged around, talked, and enjoyed each other's company.
   Other than the 4th, things have been running as normal. As most of you know, I am the head volleyball coach at a local high school, and our summer practices began last week. I missed my girls, so it was good to see them. As I mentioned above, I'm finally done unpacking our new place, which had been taking up a lot of my time. I have never moved anyone but myself before, and had no idea how much work moving both me and and Justin would be, but it's all done! Here are some pictures of our place:

I don't have any pictures of the upstairs, but there is a cute guest bedroom with an office up there.
 
   Overall, things seem to be going really well and truckin' right along. The Jdate website has decided they want to do a TV show about us--for Jewish Life Television. They are going to interview us via skype next week--too funny! Who would have thought a dating website could have changed our lives forever?
    Justin will be home in a month and a half, and the time go fast enough. We are looking for mid-August as his return date, and then Justin and I are looking to just relax and enjoy getting back into our routine.  I couldn't be more proud of him and what he's doing, but I hope he also know how much he is missed and loved back home. All your support has been tremendous, and we are incredibly thankful!
