The move (briefly) and where we'll be living for 2 years

Well, it has been almost a year since I last wrote.  Sorry, no comics for this post.  I wanted to get pics up and I am too busy with the Olympics to write any comics. Soooo, the move went pretty well other than the fact we had all of the animals with us in the cab of the moving van.  Ok, actually they did a great job! Sorry, I couldn't find the pics from the move.  So, without any further ado here is our new place.  :)

Let's start with the kitchen:


We didn't have a ton of cupboard space, so we bought a black shelf and split it in half and
created two counters with shelves underneath.  You will see the other in the next pic.


Oh, lots of light!! So wonderful.  That door leads to stairs that go down to our back door. 
We have a dishwasher and a gas stove.  I am happy.


This is our cute little desk.  Messy. Oh well.

Here is the dining room.  Yeah, we have a dining room.  :)




We need to frame our wedding pic and our temple pic and they will be hung on either side of Christ.



Well, we have a china hutch, but no china.  I have a lot of vases in there right now.

The Sun Room Nook Place:


One day when I am really ambitious, I will sew a cushion for the bench.


We have these two cute little shelf things, but nothing cute to put in them except books.

The Living Room:



Ok ok, so the antenna is really tacky.  It is just for the Olympics.  Our new couch!  We literally couldn't get our old couch out of our apartment.  I am not too sure how we got it in. hmmm This one fit and we can both cuddle on it and it is long enough for people to sleep on.




I am really proud of this purchase!!! $5 for this cute green poof.  Louis thought it was going to be stupid, but he loves the cute foot rest.  I love it too.  You can see the unfinished wall mural (it may not be finished for a while if it is like any other project I or Louis begin.  That is technically our front door, but we never use it because we park on the side street which is quieter.


The Messy Bedrooms:



We took the smaller room because it actually had closet space.  The spare room's closet can't even fit hangers because it is so narrow.  I know, a closet that can't fit hangers, doesn't make much sense.  It is hard to see, but my wonderful mother-in-law bought us an a/c unit.  It is lovely at night.



The spare room/office/gear closet.  It is pretty big so it fits all of our crap.


exhibit 1. all our crap. This excludes all of the tools in the basement.



This is where Louis will be living, along with campus, for the next 2 years.  I hope he survives!

Cute little bathroom:




Well, that is the official tour.  Sorry, no pic yet of the outside, I was too lazy to walk downstairs and take on.  Look it up on Google Earth.  5051 Washington, West Roxbury MA, 02132.  (See how sneaky I was about giving my address to you so you can write to us!)

To end this post: Proof that our cat is the weirdest cat in the world.

  4. Nice, nice, very nice, you can sit by me! (name the movie)

    I am impressed that you have it all set up and decorated already. Way to be! It looks really nice.

    How has living in Boston been so far? How is your ward? How are the neighbors? Details, Katie!

    Also, not sure if you noticed, but it looks like you've got some rocks squatting in your apartment. Might want to take care of that.

    ;)

    1. Mulan! Yeah, Louis hasn't had much to do except unpack so that's been nice. Boston is good. Humidity sucks. We haven't had a lot of time to explore because all I have been doing is watching the olympics. Our ward is interesting. Pretty small, mostly students and older people. Not a lot of big families although I think when school starts we will have a better idea of what it will be like. A lot of first generation members. We have briefly met the neighbors. 2 vets live under us; they are young like us. Yes, we do have a lot of rocks hanging around. :)
