Our New Apartment!


 Jared and I were very lucky to find a sweet apartment in Provo that we will be living in until we are both done with school! We had been looking around for a couple of weeks, and the night before we were going to sign the contract to another apartment, we went and took a look at this one and decided it would be the perfect place for us! It's a basement apartment underneath a chiropractic clinic about 6 blocks from campus. What we love about it is that it doesn't feel like a basement apartment. It has high ceilings, and the large window in the family room lets in a ton of light. We basically love it!!  Luckily my parents were getting some new basement furniture so they gave us their cast offs. . . we are so grateful! Here are some pictures. . .

We had no furniture for a few days!

AFTER. . .
Our cute decorated kitchen. . . 
Thank you so much for the table Whit!!!

       It's amazing what a bottle of spray paint can do
     We got a bunch of old decorating junk from my sister
    and bought some black spray paint so we haven't really
  spent much money at all on house deco so far!

   Our awesome bed, a wedding gift from my parents!

We bought this dresser a couple of weeks ago
it's awesome!

The de-cluttered bike room


The finished bathroom

Yay, we actually have furniture!





















































Our sweet washer/dryer!

    Well there ya have it, come visit us anytime! (PS I don't know how to post pictures that well, so sorry it looks kinda weird!)

Jared's First Post!

Well, I have been coaxed into posting a blog update.

Things have been rolling along fairly smoothly. Now that the semester is done we basically have nothing to do. We are just counting down the days. . . We are getting really excited, but also very anxious.

My parents came down for graduation because Blake and Mikell graduated this semester, and are now moving on to the real life. Real jobs. I wish. We spent the weekend hanging out as a family. Last Thursday we went to dinner with my parents and had a fun time. On Saturday we spent the afternoon up in Kaysville with family. First we met my mom, dad, and grandma at Gardner's Village because my mom is an antique shopaholic, but that was ok because Stace and I found some sweet red picture frames that we are excited to put some pictures in. By the time we got done eating lunch and looking around it started raining hard and we left to go to my grandma's house in Centerville where we looked at funny pictures from my mom's childhood, and my own. It was fun! Stacie totally thought I was so good lookin' in high school! Oh yeah!

After we got done looking at pictures we headed to my sister and brother-in-laws to see their family. We had fun playing with the kids there. They just got a new trampoline, and we playing various games like house, crack the egg, and kitties. They wore Stacie out by the time we went to the park and played pirates. It was pretty fun, but I guess thats a good thing they like her.

Everything else is going pretty good. We decided that we are going to paint our new apartment this week, so hopefully our landlord doesn't object.

Well, I can't really think of anything else to say so I guess until next time.

We had alot of fun getting all dressed up, although it makes us want to get married so much more since we've seen each other in our wedding attire! So we basically just love these pictures!
