Back in Idaho

Well we are back! For the past 4 months Tyler and I have been living in the SLC area with my Aunt Judy who so kindly let us stay in their basement. While there, Tyler completed his internship with the LDS church's  ICS headquarters in Riverton. Now he is down to about two more semester left of school! 

Before moving up, I had no idea what kind of apartment we were moving into. I knew it wasn't in a complex, and that it was old, but other than that Tyler couldn't really explain to me what it was like. So i moved in here with low expectations ;) but it really isn't a bad apartment. We are within a couple minutes walking distance to campus and close to our friends. We were really lucky to get this apartment and i am really grateful that Tyler has his connections in Rexburg or we would have ended up in some super expensive apartment complex somewhere much further from campus. 

Well here is the entrance to our apartment. Just through this door is a flight of stairs that leads up to our apartment and one other apartment.

This shows the empty office space below us. That is our living room window on the second floor. Also, we are right next to a Chinese restaurant. Tyler loves chinese, so we will have to try it out.


This is the other side, a barbers shop just below the other apartment. And you cant see it in the picture but the building extends for quite a ways and that is where a body shop and a rent-a-car have their businesses. The body shop can be a bit loud, but we really only hear their really loud air compressor. 



This is the entrance into our apartment. To the right is the kitchen and living space. Ahead is our bedroom. and to the left is a bathroom.

Here is the kitchen which I was happy with because of all the space it has. It is so much nicer to share with only one person as compared to last semester when it was 6 of us girls trying to cram everything in to the limited space.

 Here is our living room. No couch yet, but we are thinking of putting a futon in here. or something that can be assembled. Our front door is a tight squeeze and most the couches we have seen at the DI are a bit to wide for the space.

 The bathroom

 The shower
 Our bedroom is pretty large, which is nice. No more cramming things under the bed!
 The other side of the bedroom with a very large closet with lots of storage space.
 Here is another part of the living room. We decided to put Tyler's computer there and the bookshelf. It's not very organized right now....but we are working on that ;)
 This is our view out the window. We can see the temple, which I love!

Once we get things decorated and find a place for everything it will look a lot better, but I am very happy with our first place!

  1. Not too bad for your 1st apartment together. Add some pictures on the walls, a little decor, and it will be right homey. :)
