life is WONDERFUL

Abe and I moved into our new apartment on the 17th (super exciting!). I personally think our apartment is really nice; three bedrooms, hardwood floors, so nice! It does need a bit of a touch up but it is not big deal. Moving is SUCH a pain, specially because this was the first time I had a "real" move — other times I had my parents or others be responsible of the move. It was so exhausting! Abe was gone that weekend and thank goodness for Abe's friend who came into the rescue and helped us move stuff with his truck that weekend. Unpacking is just as bad, and well cleaning the apartment was not fun at all. It seems like whoever lived here before was a total PIG! Greasy stove, baseboards had HUMONGOUS balls of dust in them, yuck! This illustrates the stove, and half of the grease was gone by the way...

So glad it is all taken care of.

I must admit, buying new furniture was a great experience; it feels really good to actually start building a home with the love of my life. We have been married for 6 months now and I feel more of a newlywed now than I did ever before, it is AWESOME. Anyways, our couches turned out amazing! (If you ever need to buy furniture, look on ebay, you would be amazed at the stuff you find and their prices!).

This was our living room before.

Here is our living room now :)

And this is a close up of our couches.

We bought a 7 piece dining table, but OF COURSE with our luck 2 of the chairs were not made right and we couldn't set them up, so for now we only have a 5 piece dining table. I also love our huge clock! I think it looks great :)

Here is the dining are before...

And a couple of pictures of what it looks like now :) (dont judge my curtain rod, I used the one they left and need to buy a new one.. lol)

The bedrooms and bathroom are upstairs, and well the rooms do not have much of a purpose for now, not until I can turn one of them into a guest room and I think the other one will be my work out room or storage haha... it is a storage room for now.

Our bedroom is still in the making...

then this is my storage room...

And our bathroom is the one hideous part of the house, it has an UGLY peach color lol... we tried to decorate to the best of our abilities, but you woulnd't believe how hard it is to make peach look good! lol

Our laundry room is the trash room for now.. we have TONSSSS of boxes... huge ones as well.

Our yard is awesome! we have an actual yard and I love it, there is this huge tree that looks great!

I AM THE QUEEN OF MY KITCHEN... I love to bake stuff lol.. so far I have baked a key lime pie and it turned out awesome, as well as some chicken crescents and such... the kitchen is a woman's territory! Our kitchen isn't huge but it is enough for me and I love it :)

We are so excited to have our own home.. it feels great!!!

PS: Abe has signed his army contract, he now has a job as a 13D Field Artillery Automated Data System Specialist, he ships out on October 25th 2011, life is great, we have been SO blessed, Heavenly Father is always so mindful of us and I am so so greateful for it! Life is WONDERFUL.
