I am writing to you from our little apartment in Rexburg. And by little, I mean closet. It is very small, but we are happy to have our own place. We left Orem about 1:00, drove all the way here, got here at about 5:00, and then moved in very shortly after that. Chad called a couple of his old roommates, and they came over and brought reinforcements and helped us move. We were happy about that. Mostly I was happy about that because it meant I didn't have to go up and down the huge flight of stairs up to our apartment more than once or twice. That was nice. We treated them to ice cream after. We took some pictures for posterity's sake. I feel kind of like we live in a city only because we're in a building overlooking a "city" street, with our entrance at street-level.
We have pretty successfully organized most of our things - interestingly enough, we have our largest storage area in the bathroom. Not really sure what we're going to do with that space.
The bedroom is about big enough for a bed and that's it. The "living room" is about big enough for the couch we got from grandma's and that's it.
Tomorrow we go to the storage unit and retrieve the things we need here - hangers, garbage can, shampoo, etc.
Some pictures.
The view when you walk in the front door. The doorway to the right leads to the bedroom.
Chad enjoying our wireless internet.
The view from the bedroom doorway. There is a fridge and a stove directly to the left of this picture.
The kitchen. The white line you see along the left edge of the picture is the fridge. There's a stove right next to that.
Our brand new microwave - we bought it at Wal-Mart tonight.
The view from the bedroom doorway.
The view towards the bathroom. (The closet)
The tub - this is what you see when you walk in the bathroom -- off to your right,
... the other half of the fairly large bathroom.
The shelves behind the bathroom door. Have yet to be organized.
Yes, those are our dishes.
And that's our little apartment. It will feel more home-y (and no doubt more cramped) once we get our few furniture pieces in here. And we're going to buy a "kitchen" table tomorrow.
Currently we are deciding whether or not we want to go out and watch the Perseid's Meteor Shower tonight. That's all from Rexburg. Tonight we sleep on the floor!

That is...cozy. At least you won't be tempted to accumulate lots of stuff that you will then have to move later. Is your "kitchen" the first thing when you walk in the door? Oh well as long as you have a couch and a bed you'll be fine...you might have to squeeze when the home teachers come over though! So when I looked up the peak of the meteor shower and it said Tuesday...I was totally thinking Tuesday as in Tuesday night...not Tuesday as in 2 in the morning- because that, to me, is Monday night. So I realized it while watching the news at about midnight-thirty last night and by then was too tired to do anything about it. Sad!
