I came back to Utah 2.5 weeks earlier than Ryan and it's been so hard not getting to see him for this extended length of time. Originally, we were both going to stay out there until the weekend before school started, but then we realized that we had zero furniture and had WAY too much stuff to cram into one weekend.
So far, I've moved everything over to our new little basement apartment in Orem. I really like the location because we're close enough to campus to get there quickly, but far enough away from all the crazy and loud single students {there are many benefits to BYU married student life}. We're only paying $595 with a washer and dryer which is a steal of a deal.
I've cleaned EVERY inch of the apartment including the walls. I'm a {little} OCD when it comes to cleanliness, but I suppose there are worst things in life to be OCD about. I've even re-finished the kitchen cabinets so they look brand new too.
We didn't have any furniture so I've been bargain hunting all over DI, craigslist, and KSL, as well as my parent's house. So far, I've gotten an awesome orange chair, dresser, coffee table, kitchen table/chairs, sofa table, and buffet. They are all in pretty rough condition so I'm currently in the process of refinishing and painting all those items too. But for getting all those things for $50 is pretty incredible and I can definitely devote some time and a little TLC into making them look decent and hopefully cute. {I hate living in college student hodge podges that are tacky and don't match...I can't wait for the day we're not on the college student budget}.
