Here are the pictures as promised! This is Bryce and mine's first apartment together! We live in Aggie Village, which for those of you who don't know, it's the married housing here at Utah State. We have a nice little 2 bedroom cinder-block place as you can see from the photos :) Let me take you on a tour!
First things first here is our living room/family room. You can see the entryway in the background and the door to the patio on the left. Our lovely $20 DI couch has been covered and we added pillows to it to clean it up a bit courtesy of some wedding gift cards. Then there's the blanket that my mom made me of all my high school shirts and hoodies from sports and music that's always there too. We got a nice little ottoman that is the storage for our blankets and Bryce's foot massager. (The massager and ottoman also courtesy of wedding cards-Bryce is in love with his massager! That's all he wanted to get, silly boy haha) We also have some pictures on the wall but the one behind the couch is still bland. We're planning on putting up a wedding picture and maybe some other decoration as well to spice it up some.
This is our cute LITTLE kitchen. And let me tell you, that oven is itty bitty. We can't even fit some pans and dishes in there, good ole' old fashioned ovens. The cupboards have taken some getting used to since they slide open and you can only get to half the cupboard at a time. But hey, anything beats sharing a kitchen with 5 other girls that is about this same size. Having that much fridge for just us is WONDERFUL. We got our pots and pans, dishes, utensils, and a microwave as wedding gifts and THANK YOU to everyone who helped get us started in this room. We really appreciate it (p.s. still working on the thank you notes but we will send them!) The kitchen table is a little card table courtesy of my Grandma Joyce and those flowers are from my wonderful husband for Valentines Day. He was so smooth they were on the table when I woke up in the morning. Nice work sweetheart :) STUD.
This is our bathroom. We are lucky enough to have our own washer-we bought it on KSL for a nice deal and now have the luxury of doing laundry whenever we want inside our own apartment. Sure beats paying quarters and walking 5 minutes to get there. Quaint little bathroom but definitely works for the 2 of us :)
This is our bedroom-the master suite ;) We upgraded to a Queen bed (THANK YOU UNCLE BARRY). The full was working fine, but Bryce and I both like our space when we sleep so this has been wonderful. We got our bamboo sheets of course (we're both spoiled and love them) and then we purchased the rest of the bedding with wedding money, as well as a new memory foam pillow for Bryce. Now he won't steal mine ever, yay! We got a bedside table and lamp from my Uncle Barry as well. When Bryce found out that Uncle Barry got it in 1989 Bryce immediately bonded with it since he was born that year. We got the dresser from Bryce's parents and the pictures (like a lot of those around our home) our the pictures we used as centerpieces at the reception. Gotta love reusing things :)
This is our second bedroom. We are using it as an office, and hey! speaking of wonderful husbands, here mine is! He's working on math, what a trooper. As you can see we also have a mattress and box spring temporarily stored in here...I'm not the biggest fan of it but it won't be permenant. We just have some strict rules of what can be put on our patio and how so we are in the process of rearranging things some. And also in the office we have...
My baby :) This is our little electric piano that we got from my parents for our wedding. And yes, I call it my baby. Poor Bryce put a glass of water on it and I got a little worked up telling him that no food or drink belongs on my baby. It was a one time offense and now Bryce calls it my baby too ;) I guess my mom rubbed off on me as far as the whole no food or drink by nice things (especially without a coaster!) For Valentines Day Bryce even got me a new piano book to sing and play with. I love it!
This is one side of our balcony-patio-like thing outside, whatever you want to call it! This is where, as you can see, we keep our snowboards. We also had our hammock chair hanging but we found out that we have to keep it inside since it doesn't follow under the criteria for what's allowed out there. So, when it gets a little warmer in the spring we will take it outside and hang it up to use, and then bring it back inside with us. We got it on our honeymoon to Mexico.
This is the other side of our porch-thing-a-ma-jig. Yes, that's the only place the dryer can go because it's where the gas hookup is. So, we still have to go outside to do our laundry but hey, it still beats the walk and using quarters! We still have to get those boxes in the background taken care of. Technically they aren't allowed outside either so we need to rearrange those too: fire hazard. That will be either this afternoon's project or tomorrow's, hopefully.
Now you've all seen our home sweet home. We hope you enjoyed it because we sure do! And if anyone wants to come visit, please let us know! We have an extra full-sized bed as you saw ;) And we would LOVE the company!
