Getting settled in....

We've been having a lot of fun getting settled in to our new home! I know I've already posted the first two pics, but they go really well as an intro to this post too, so I'm repeating. :)
 We finally made it to New Mexico!
 When we made it to our house, we popped open a bottle of champagne from our wedding reception and opened a bunch of presents.  It was SO much fun!
 Blair had made the bed so it would be ready for us when we returned from the honeymoon.  It was so comfortable after 3 long days of driving.
 One of the first things we did was put up the curved shower curtain rod in our master bath.  It's so nice!
 Our backyard was completely overgrown.  We had no idea that NM grass could grow that well, but it was about 2 ft tall!!
 Blair went out to buy a few food items for dinner while I got started to unpack, and he came home with this pretty bouquet of flowers for me!  It was so sweet. :)
 The next day, our neighbor Carrie Ann came over with homemade goodies to welcome us to the neighborhood.  I love the military community.
 And Blair got to work in the backyard trying to cut down the jungle while I opened boxes....lots and lots of boxes.
One of the most fun things we did for "getting settled in" was shopping with all of our wedding gift cards.  It was a BLAST!  And because of everyone's generosity, we had about 3 or 4 trips where our trunk looked like this.  And our kitchen is AWESOME.
 That night we decided to get our hammock set up in the backyard.  It just barely fits.
But we have a nice view from it!
And it's so cozy!
I'll post an update soon with what our house looks like now that we are getting moved in and decorating.  It looks very different now!
