Our New Home

On the first of this month, we moved out of our tiny 1 bedroom apartment into a 2 bedroom place. YAY!!! Well it took some time, but we finally got settled in and got our home all decorated. So to all of those out there that want to get a peak at our new home here you go:




Here is our lovely home!




Our 2nd bedroom is currently our office/storage room.




Our living room is almost twice as big as our old one. 


We can actually fit and use all our furniture now! And even invite people over because there will actually be a place for everyone to sit.



It feels more like home here, now that we don't have to try and cram all our wall decor onto 2 walls!



We actually have a kitchen! Our old place our kitchen doubled as the hallway to our bedroom. Now I have so much counter space not to mention all the cupboards and pantry we have now!


Oh and we can actually put our table in the kitchen, where it belongs!

Our bedroom seems to have so much more space. It is definitely less crowded than it was before.



The sink is actually in the bathroom here rather than in the bedroom. The only drawbacks are that there isn't a door to the bathroom, and we don't have a bath-tub now.





We are loving our new home and all the space that has come with it. We wont be here terribly long though, just through December.  Most of our ward lives in this complex, so we know a lot of our neighbors already.
We live close to one of the parks here in town, and have already walked there and back once. It's definitely a nicer neighborhood than where we used to live, and I feel more safe here. It's not terribly close to campus or work, but it's still less than 5 minutes to drive.
This new place is a great blessing to us, as it is scholarship housing which means 75% of our rent is paid by the school (our rent is only $115 a month now!).
We are very happy here! Hope you enjoyed our picture tour.

FORT TIME!!!

So back in April sometime, we saw that we had so many boxes laying around from us starting to pack up our things before the move. And what do you do with lots of boxes??? Well... you build an epic fort of course. So that is just what we did! It ended up taking up our entire little living room.  And here is how it turned out...







It ended up involving our entertainment center with our T.V.


Jared enjoying all the space (well more than you'd expect)


This was our date for that week. We ended up having a ton of fun. We blew up our queen sized air mattress and stuck it inside. We actually slept in it for a few nights and watch movies together. It was a blast! We really didn't want to take it down, but it did take our whole living room, so we kinda had to. We'll have to do it again sometime!
