Coming Home.

So it's only taken me a month to post about coming home...not bad, right?

My sweet husband decorated our bedroom for me. How cute is he?

That weekend we had a Sushi date.

So fun.

Paul is a professional.

We got fortune cookies and the last 4 fortunes I have gotten have decided that I am going to be rich. Still waiting for that to come true :)

Paul is playing on an indoor soccer team.

They went undefeated in the regular season! Tournament starts this week.

I love watching him play.

Since I've had a lot of time on my hands, I've been cooking quite a bit.

We have had some very tasty dinners, including these lettuce wraps. I got the recipe from my awesome cousin. I loved them.

I love being home!!

Luv, Lindsay

Homemaker . . what?

Those who know me well know that I have never been much of the "homemaker" type . Never the most organized, not much of a creative cook, and I really don't enjoy arts and crafts or sewing . 

But guess what I did ?

I started cooking/baking a little bit : ) I am not super into crazy, fancy cooking . I love your normal, basic, American dishes . Mashed potatoes, chocolate ice cream, and white bread . We have had a homemade meal almost every day for the last couple of weeks and I made rolls! They weren't perfect and baking here is a little different than Utah, but they were still pretty good . My cousin's kids LOVED them. : ) Direct quote "I like Lindsay because she's a good baker . " Awww .








I love rolls. especially these ones.

Now those people who have lived with me will admit that I do not keep my living area the very cleanest, to put it nicely . But guess what ? You will be surprised to hear that Paul and I probably now have a cleaner apartment / living space than any of you . This is largely due to the fact that I am very afraid of leaving something on the floor and picking up later and finding a bug in it, but still . Our apartment is almost constantly clean . Dishes are always put away, clothes are always off of the floor, closet is organized, and we vacuum and clean things like twice a week . And it's actually pretty nice .

This is probably the extent of the homemaker in me for now, but it's kind of fun. If you haven't seen our finished apartment, Take A Look!

Luv, Lindsay

Home, Sweet Home.

After we crossed everything off our lists for school...

Said good-bye to our old jobs...

Packed...

And loaded...









We finally got here. And it finally feels like we are home. We have been here for almost two weeks now. It has been filled with lots of shopping..and lots of bugs.


Luckily there is a wonderful man who lives in an apartment just around the hall and he has been doing a lot of work to help us with our bug problem. We are very grateful as we have gone from about 7 of these lovely things a day to about 2. And most of them now are already dead when we find them. Our vacuum has become a permanent part of our furniture because that is how we killed them..so much easier to catch that way. It started smelling HORRIBLE so it's on a break now. We took it apart and washed it. Thank you, mom, for our wonderful Dyson vacuum. :)

I have never been a decorator. But tried really hard to make our apartment look really pretty . . Enjoy :)

We built most of the furniture ourselves.

We still have to find things to put in the cubes..

Bathroom..where most of the bugs have been found.

Our bathmat is pretty incredible. So squishy and soft! And Paul loves how much counter space we have.

Kitchen!

Little office area. Finally got the printer up and running.

Our little dining area. Behind it, our puzzles! They are all 1000 pieces and we loved them so much, we framed them. We have finished another one and are working on yet another.

 I love the layout of our apartment.

Our new toys :) Tv, apple TV, Xbox with kinect, and finally got our internet set up. Since we won't be around too much we're getting rid of cable but are enjoying it free for a month :) 

Our couch and ottoman.

Rocking love sac. I love our furniture. It's so soft and comfortable!

Two weeks until I start at Southwest Airlines! So excited. Our ward here has been great. Everyone is very friendly. I think we're going to like it here :)

Luv, Lindsay
