    Gina, your house is totally beautiful! What a wonderful way for you to end what has been a bit of a trying journey with the pilot being deployed, the situation in Florida, living out of boxes with your stuff all in the pod, i am unbelievably happy for you and can’t wait to see some shots once you’re all settled in. <3

  19. Courtney on July 25, 2011 at 11:08 pm

    Gina, I recently found your blog after googling a recipe. Since then, I have been logging in and trying your recipes and reading your posts for about a month. They are all wonderful! I enjoy keeping up with your life because it is so much like my own! I was recently married and we are now beginning our first home search! It’s nice to relate to someone (even if it is through a blog). Best of luck to you and your growing family. The house is wonderful- I hope you have many many fond memories there! XO!

    This seriously made me cry. My hubby is TDY for a few months, and we won’t see each other again until we meet up to move overseas in the fall (literally, we’ll see each other again the day before we hop on a plane). I can’t wait to have the experience you described, and I am so excited for you both and this wonderful chapter in your lives. Thanks for sharing!
