Much Anticipated

I've gotten a few requests to post pics of the new place. Things have been very messy but we FINALLY have half the apartment clean (not decorated). I wish I had one of those cameras that you scan the room and it takes a super long picture, but I'll have to make do!

When you walk in the front door you are walking into a hallway and on the left is the living room entrance. You probably can't tell, but it's super awkward with how much space the fireplace takes up and trying to position the couch with the TV so...we just had to float the couch and make the giant walkway to the dining room a little smaller.

Our little coat closet behind the couch.

Other view of the living room. I love our new couch!! It is SUPER comfy! :)

Turn the corner and there's the dining room, laundry room, and kitchen.

Our laundry room/pantry. Yes the dryer is to the left of the washer. Weird? I think so. Apparently when the builders mirrored the model apartment they mirrored EVERYTHING.

Our brand new dining room table and chairs!! Love it!

View from in the kitchen.

Kitchen. It's surprisingly a pretty good size and there is tons of cupboard space, which is nice!


Our second bathroom aka Eric's bathroom. I'm sad that he gets our cute shower curtain but there isn't a tub in the master bath. I guess I'll live with it.

And that's all you get to see. All you're missing out on is a bathroom and two bedrooms. By the way, our bedroom is HUGE! But not too necessary cuz we keep all our crap in the second room.

This place is a nice size for us, but I don't want to do too much decorating because...we're going to move again hopefully SOON!! I hate moving just as much as anyone so that's why I want to do it asap. We're on a waiting list to get into little townhomes and join our new friends. People at church call it Mormon Village because it's filled with young mormon families, chiropractic students, and (random) old Russian peeps. It's like a little mini Utah minus the Russians!!

We absolutely love it here! The ward is so welcoming and we've already made a few friends (which isn't the easiest thing for me). So if I think it's a welcoming ward, then it is. It's a very different dynamic from Utah. People actually care that you're new and want to get to know you. I LOVE IT!!

Finally you posted pictures! Nice apt! We also use the second bedroom for our stuff! I think it's funny Eric uses the second bathroom-I do the same thing! SOOOOOOOOOOOOO nice!
