New Apartment

So our friend Natalie Dixon told me about an opening at her complex, which was really nice because trying to find a place online was hard and I had seen Natalie's apartment before. She also told me good things about the landlord and the area. Brandon hadn't been there before so we set up an appointment for him to see it, but we were pretty confident that we were going to move there.

Brandon and I both really liked the spare apartment and we were able to get everything processed so we could move in as soon as we wanted. So far we have really liked it here. I like living on the top floor cause, obviously, there are no upstairs neighbors. The only downside is it can get pretty warm here. My mom has loaned us some fans, which helps but there have been a couple of nights where we have moved our mattress in our living room because it is much cooler.

Here are some pictures of the new place:

Funny story, our blinds are kind of cheap and one day I was raising the blinds so Sam wouldn't claw at them to be able to get to the window sill (he tore holes at the ones in our old apartment and we had to replace them). Well I was raising the blinds and then trying to straighten them out when they just snapped down and broke. The quilt is a temporary solution.

(the hole in those blinds were already there, but it has been convenient for Sam).

That's it! 

Moving and Anniversary

So I know I am WAY behind on posts, but I figure over the next week or so I will start catching up. Rather than do a HUGE post I am just going to go event by event starting with moving from Cedar City and our anniversary.

The day after Brandon graduated we immediately started getting ready to move. Brandon's family helped us pack and clean Saturday. On Monday we finished everything up, packed up the truck, and headed up to Pleasant Grove to live with my Dad for a couple of days while we found a place.

The next day, Tuesday (May 8), was our two year anniversary. We spent the day going up to Salt Lake City to look at an apartment and after feeling right about the apartment we signed a lease. We then spent the afternoon at my Dad's house changing our address with utilities, the credit union, insurance, etc.

We had dinner at a hibachi and sushi restaurant and then we went to the movie Cabin in the Woods. Even though it was a simple anniversary it was a great day -- especially since we found an apartment!
