THE MOVE!

We've moved! Goodbye to BYU Housing and hello to a much nicer apartment! Don't get me wrong, we loved our BYU apartment so much. It was our very first apartment together and it's the home we brought our new baby too. We have so many wonderful memories there and we will miss it. But we absolutely love our new apartment here in Orem! We were so excited when we found it and even more excited when we found out we were approved and could move in, it was such a wonderful feeling! So on Thursday December 1st we got our keys and on Saturday we moved in. The move went so very smoothly and Blair and I are so grateful to everyone who helped! Blair's parents watched our Gavin for us (so So enormously helpful!!) while my parents, Dan, Ryan, Kyle, Kevin and Jen (and Nathan of course!) and several trucks moved us right in. We can't express how grateful we are to everyone being so willing to help us out, we love you all! Unfortunately I forgot, or possibly just couldn't find the camera in all the hustle so no pictures were taken during the move. I'm really kinda sad about that but we are all moved in and finally feeling settled which is great! So here is our new place!
Our front door and (kinda sad this year) Christmas Tree. We're waiting to hang pictures on the wall behind until after Christmas :-)

Our big living room window which gives us an amazing amount of light! There is so much more light in this apartment and I absolutely love it! It makes our last place look like a cave!

Continuing on around the living room...

Looking into our kitchen - sorry about the mess but as I went to take a new picture our camera's batteries died, boo. But this is more to just see the layout anyway. Also, notice the wonderful back door, a feature we love!

Jen heard me say that I was wanting new decorations so she and Kevin got us these, aren't they awesome?? I got a new clock to go with them and I love it! Thanks guys!

Our kitchen - Featuring our new in home washer and dryer!! Laundry whenever I want?? I think yes!! (it probably won't be this exciting in a few weeks but for now, Yay!!)

 

Blair and I decided to take the smaller bedroom because Gavin's room is the nursery/office/storage. It's a good thing we did too, I really had no idea how much stuff we really had. Because of how much bare walls bother me I'm very anxious to find new things to use for decoration. So they'll be bare for a while. This is mostly to show off our amazing quilt that Blair's mom made, and once again, how very light it is in our home - I love it so much!

It's pretty obvious that the walls all need a new coat of paint but other than that we think our home is perfect! There are so many great things about it and we just love living here!
