unpacked!

Hello all,
Well, the movers came on Thursday. Though it wasn't nearly as long as it could've been we felt like it couldn't have come sooner. Bless their hearts, these two guys parked a SEMI (with ours and others' belongings) in our tiny street parking lot and lugged our belongings up to the THIRD (basically fourth) floor of our building and to the VERY END of the hallway to our apartment. If (ha, when) we move I don't know how we are going to do it without movers. Needless to say, Friday was crazy for me. Unpacking, boxes everywhere and then finally hanging. We put finishing touches on stuff tonight. It feels good to feel home. I want to do a mini movie of a tour or something to give you the feel of our place but we'll see how that happens. For now, below are some pics of what it looks like. I want to take some more during the day tomorrow so you can see just how much sunlight we get, it's glorious! Also, we are in the process of couch hunting and saving so if you know of any good places around here please advise. (We checked out Ikea today.)

 Before, YIKES!

 Midway through the unpacking (yeesh!)

 There are still a few things that need to be put in place but this is looking towards the corner by the kitchen with our table and my desk. (and a few light sabers and a dyson.)

 Our kitchen with a little piece of Colorado, painted by Ben's amazing grandma.

 Ben's corner, next to the entryway.

 The tv and bookshelves. On the wall adjacent there's an awesome picture collage but that one turned out blurry so more tomorrow. :)

And then the bedroom, nice and cozy.

I'm pretty excited about how it's turning out. We are visiting a church tomorrow, hoping to find one that will be a good community out here for us. So for now I'm off to bed, more pictures tomorrow! Also, the magnolia tree out front looks like it's going to bloom A LOT tomorrow. Hopefully I can get some good ones of that too.
Goodnight,
Laura
