The how's of moving

Okay so I know that you all have been anxiously awaiting for this blog to be updated and guess what? Now it will be! Stay tuned for next month's episode on the amazing blog of Chris and amanda..........












jk

Okay okay so I'll put some stuffness up for you all.




Let us commence our exciting adventure with packing up from Heather Cove. This picture probably looks familiar to all those who have ever moved before. You get boxes all over the place!


So this is a picture of only part of the front room stuffed with boxes. It was nice that we had so many boxes in which to throw all of our random collections of wedding gifts and such stuff. Alas most of the boxes have been thrown in a dumpster now but they served faithfully.. except for that one box that broke out all over the ground trying to get it from the third floor down to the car. I Guess that you shouldn't mix kitchen supplies with a twenty pound bag of potatoes in one cardboard box and expect it to last.

This charming picture is of the men's apartment that we moved into. Men's you say? Yup. We had a temporary move from womens housing to mens. FYI women's housing is way better. The problem with moving into our new apartment was that it was (and is) still under construction. We couldn't move in since they had not finished the countertops or putting the sink back in for us. So we were stuck at the Pioneer house for four days. Chris and I both didn't enjoy living out of boxes and are glad that at least we have our things unpacked now.

Talk about great mens bathroom! Huge tub but dinky corner space for the toilet. The hot water turned on by turning right instead of left, but at least you got hot water unlike at the kitchen sink.


Okay, so I must admit that this is one of my favorite parts of the Pioneer house. If you can't tell this is a closet with a door. And how would that be functional? We totally should turn it into a slide for Reed and Chelsea!

This was also taken at the Pioneer house. The sink in the bedroom is compliments of perhaps an elderly person? I haven't quite gotten it figured out, but hey now you can shave in the bedroom and not wait for the bathroom to open up!




Here is the exterior of the mens apartment. We had people living below us in the basement that let us know they were there by pounding on our ceiling when we pushed a chair in above them. We stopped pushing them in after that.



Typical of having nothing to do when you're living out of boxes, Chris programed and played on his computer while I wandered around taking pictures or tried to find other things to entertain myself with. Special thanks to Brandon (Chris' old roommate) and Kerri for feeding us at night and giving us fun things to do with them.


Here is the extreamly long front room of the Pioneer house that we had a long camp out in.


Yeah! Time for funner pictures! On Wednesday we moved into our new apartment that still has a few things that needs to get fixed. (We've been told that they working on getting what we need.) Don't you just love our blinds? It's Charlie Brown christmas wrapping paper. Hey at least we get stained glass! Our next amazing feature can be seen in the bedroom. I think not having a window is self explanatory.

We put our left over gift cards to good use in the bathroom.
The sofa cames from the DI (wonderful place). It was fun watching Chris, my uncle, and our next door neighbors find a way to get it through the door with the limited turning space that we had. But where's there's a will, there's a way.
Here is our fifty dollar table and chair set that we were told is worth four hundred. I think it was a great steal.

This may be Chris' favorite picture. We found a cheap tv stand that was just perfect. However the warning lable on it said that it could only hold a flat screen. As you can see instead of finding a different stand we got a flat screen tv! You all should have seen Chris' face when he asked if we could get one. It was cute and priceless.

This is our tower fan that we used the remains of our wedding gift cards on. You may need to drum roll on the computer desk in front of you before you hear about it's amazing features. It comes with a remote control, timer, and breeze feature!
That pretty much wrappes up this blog post. We've been excited to have Michelle stay with us for a few days and are looking forward to hosting The Parents next. Okay I am hungry so I am going to go. Don't know when the next blog update will come around since we currently have no internet or cable at our new apartment either....
Until next time gents and gentlefolks.
