Our New Place

My friend Carolyn who moved about 2 weeks after me...and much further than me....has already posted on her move. This inspired me to get my butt in gear and make a post.

Emily and I moved the day of Mary Jo's baby shower (I know what you are thinking....we are nuts...it just worked out that way though). If you saw our old apartment, you would understand why. I forgot to take pictures of it before we left. But it was tiny and it was a basement apartment so it felt like a dungeon and it smelled funny and it had only tiny crawlspace windows. It was rather dreary.

So when an apartment came open in Mary Jo & Hans-Erik's complex we jumped at it. We are again back in the Avenues community in Salt Lake City. The apartment is on the second story of the complex and it has a great view off the balcony of a power-pole accross the street.

Ok, so not the best view. But it is better than occasionally looking out the window and seeing the landlords miniature greyhounds peeing on our window (a frequent occurance at our other apartment).

Those of you who had been to our other place will notice from the pictures...the kitchen is much smaller, but more cupboard space...go figure.

Yes, this is the entire kitchen.

We finally have space so I bought a dinning room table as you can see in this picture.

The apartment is mostly furnished by me, but that is ok. I finally have space to display all my cool stuff from other countries (my pictures from Grenada, my olive wood figurines from Israel, my papyrus from Egypt, my paper from Amalfi, Italy). It's worth it! hehe

You can see my olive wood figurines in the corner on the desk with my pictures of Grenada (tiny tiny in the distance) and behind the blinds is our balcony.

This is my bedroom...I don't have a picture of Shelle and Emily's bedroom cause they weren't around when I was taking pictures and I didn't get permission.

I hope you enjoy my small tour.
