Our new Apartment!

Our new bathroom is bigger than our old one!
And i love our super cute new shower curtain!
And i love having a bigger shower!!

Ugly counter tops and not a lot of storage!! 

Thank goodness we have a storage room in our
place!

This is what you see when you first walk into our place. 

This is our tiny little kitchen!  (notice the oven drawer will NOT
close no matter what we do!!)

Another view of our kitchen , such ugly counters... 

This is our baby oven. Normal cookie sheets
do not fit!! :(
I had to buy new baby ones!! What the heck! 

We decided our other table would be too big! So sad! Luckily
the Johnson's were willing to make a table trade. Oh, and those
hideous curtains came with the place. Lucky us! 

This is our living room/office. Have you noticed what my
favorite pattern is yet?

Our "office" corner! 

This is my craft area and our fish tank! Yes, ALL of our fish
made the journey alive! Poor fishies were probably scared
to death...


We love pictures! And letters! Send us some and
you can be added to the bunch! 

Our bedroom is way bigger than our old one! Which is really nice.
It gets SO hot at night, so we had to get a little fan. I have
been spoiled with AC my whole life! Now I'm dying!!

A view of our tv area...we still need to hang so many things up so it
doesn't feel so much like a weird place. Can you tell what I'm
watching???

So that's about it...we are just a little below ground level in our apartment, and we are on a corner, which is nice, so that means we only have one neighbor. We never hear anyone...unless our windows are open at night when people decided to go outside and have a smoke! There also isn't a huge dog barking at us every time we go in or out! I think we did pretty good...considering we only had a few hours to find a place and this was the only place that didn't smell of cat pee and weed. We are also fairly close to everything, and the college is just down the street so Travis is able to walk/ride his bike everyday. There are some things that need to get fixed...like our oven drawer, or the fact you have to open the tank of the toilet and jiggle things around or the toilet will run alllll night, or the fact that our fridge makes the sound of a gurgling stomach....
Things could have been a lot worse.

Another thing...
You know how you always see the box in apartments that is like a speaker/intercom thing that can open the front door to let people in? Anyways, I was SO excited to use it! I have always wanted to use it! But...let me tell you.
I have never heard a worse sound in my life.
People can use that as a "doorbell", and when they do, it sounds like someone stepping on a goose giving birth to an elephant. It is the WORST sound ever. Travis didn't believe me, and so when he did finally hear it...
yikes.
I hope people don't ring it often! I cringe at the thought of it going off!
The first time I heard it, Travis had run outside to take the garbage to the dumpster, so I was alone, and I seriously jumped out of my skin.
Horrified.
So I guess this will do for now...at least we aren't homeless!!
