It took Ben and I longer than expected to move into our own place. Gotta love paying tuition....
About a month ago we were able to move into thee perfect apartment. It's got everything we wanted and needed, I don't know how we got so lucky. Patience I guess.
It's a fourplex directly behind Outback, I mean RIGHT behind outback. Ben walks to work in 4 minutes, that's right, 4 exactly.
I really didn't want to post about the apartment until it was completely decorated and put together, but let's be honest...is ANYONE'S home completely decorated and put together? So let's do this.
Welcome to the Jenkins' home, where most are welcome, especially if they bring treats.
Here's the view from the front door. Walls are still pretty dang bare, we aren't allowed to use nails or tape on the walls so it's been a little more difficult to hang things up.
This is most of our kitchen. The only parts you can't see are the fridge, I'm pretty sure everyone knows what one of those looks like, and our kitchen table. If any of you have ever been to my house in the last 20 years, then you know what our kitchen table looks like, we inherited my parent's old one. The kitchen was one of the biggest selling points with me. No hand washing dishes, and no going to the parent's house to do laundry! There is hardly ANY storage space though, we've been getting creative.
Our cozy living room. Two incredibly comfortable couches, a massive old school TV and a handmade afgan (The thing hanging over the blue chair. It was a wedding present).
The bathroom, it's super tiny...but it does the job.
Our bedroom is a bit of a joke right now. We're on a full mattress on the ground. All I want for Christmas is a king sized bed, and box springs.
Ugh...and here it is, my worst enemy right now. This was supposed to be the room filled with movie posters, all kinds of video game consoles and a futon!! This room right here was supposed to be the fun room, how much fun does that look like? Every time we try to clear it out I swear it only gets worse. When this finally gets done, I will show you just how much fun it is!
Well, there it is! Now a whole lot to it, but we sure love it. Did I mention we don't have any tv, what so ever? Our basic cable got cut apparently. We also didn't have internet until about a week ago. We mostly watch our tv shows online now or watch movies with the DVD player. We also never turn our heat on, so be sure to bring your winter coat with you if you ever come to visit...and a treat.
