Jordan House Tour | Nursery

My top priority in the three-ish months I was in Amman between home leave and returning to the U.S. on Medevac was getting the nursery set up for baby. We transformed what was our my home office into the perfect space for Piopio.

That Time Our Floor Caved In

Our floor didn’t really cave in. Catchy headline, though, right? Remember how I was all proud of unpacking our thousands of pounds of belongings within like, a week of getting everything? Well, turns out I spoke to soon. Because our floor exploded.

Jordan House Tour | Before & After: Master Bedroom

Our virtual apartment tour comes to an end with a look at our final room: the master bedroom. By far the biggest highlight of our stuff arriving was having our own bed — especially our super-comfy pillow-top mattress.

Jordan House Tour | Before & After: Office

I really love my home office. After a year of working from a desk that shared space with our living room and dining room, it’s nice to have my own space again.

Jordan House Tour | Before & After: Guest Bedroom

Today on my virtual apartment tour we’re taking a look at our guest bedroom. It’s fitting because this week we’re hosting our first visitor to Amman: our friend Lisa, whom we met in Afghanistan.

Jordan House Tour | Before & After: Family Room

You’ve seen our living room, dining room and kitchen. Now I’m taking you into the “informal” part of the house, starting with our family room (TV room).

Jordan House Tour | Before & After: Kitchen & Dining Room

Our virtual Amman apartment tour continues today with our dining room and kitchen. You caught some glimpses of the dining room in our look at our foyer and living room.

Jordan House Tour | Before & After: Foyer & Living Room

We are 100 percent moved in. Our Kabul HHE, San Salvador/storage HHE and Virginia UAB shipments arrived, along with our car. All 101 boxes totaling 4,230 pounds are unpacked. Our clothes and linens are dry-cleaned, our photos are displayed and our artwork is hanging on the walls.

I Moved to Jordan

Kail and I arrived to Amman last week. I start my job next week, so I’ve had a few days to not quite unpack — no ETA on when our various belongings from the U.S. (including our car), Afghanistan or El Salvador will arrive — but settle in and get to know our neighborhood in Amman.

House Tour | Before & After: Kabul

Our living room.Better late than never, right? So I had intended to post a “before and after” tour of our Kabul home — like I did for our apartment in San Salvador — much earlier. Like, before we reached the halfway point of our tour.
