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

Road Trip

We drove for 3 days to get to Texas. Here are some pictures documenting our travels.

 Last picture in Utah

 Stopped in New Mexico for a night. Route 66!
 Guess what, mom? I got an air freshener for my car. :) Smells like lemon and berries.

 We love driving for a loooong long time.
Not.



 Boring drive:

 It was so hot, our gummy bears melted into a big glob.




 The Big Texan. Delicious, big steaks!


 This is what most of our drive looked like. So boring.

Now to begin the story of the move.

Boxes. The stack got lots bigger before we threw them away.
We have become the masters of taking the absolute minimum number of trips from the car to the apartment, and from wherever we have picked it up from. Masters of real-life tetris and one-trips. That's us.

Stay tuned. Tales of bugs and lovely decorating to come.

Luv, Lindsay

Graduation

Guess what.

We GRADUATED!

It's kind of a miracle. School is done and behind us. And guess what? Grades weren't half bad either. Much better than I had expected.

Graduation was awesome. I performed piano (see previous post) and Paul and I got to walk together with our brother-in-law. Because I was on the stand, we got to walk at the beginning of the students.

(Thanks to my sister, Rachel, for the great pictures!)
 Paul and Jeff are the first students walking and I'm up on the stand.


Paul and Jeff waiting for everyone to take their seats. (It took forever.)

 Playing on the big screen!

Serious face.
My cute husband standing up to give me a hug after I played. :)

 Walking..
 Walking...
 Hand shaking..

 Cute parents.
Such a fabulous day :)

I will definitely miss the advisement center. 

We love the Tanner Building/Marriott School of Management!

You will be missed.

Homework and finals? Not so much.

More posts about our move to Texas to come!
