We are So Blessed

What a crazy month April has turned out to be, but as we are flying from either work or school, or to visit family; Dallas and I often talk about how much the Lord has blessed us during our first 7 months of marriage!!
We FINALLY moved out of our tiny, one bedroom apartment! For months we have been searching ksl, and newspaper classifieds looking searching for our perfect home! Last month we found it! I happened just to log onto KSL at just the perfect time, this new little house just barley (well within the first 24 hours) got put up on KSL, I had such a good feeling that I called immediately!! There was only one problem...no pets allowed!! I called and talked to the wife of the owner and told her our story and was as open and honest as I could be...I pretty much just begged haha! We had to wait a little while to see the house and when we did I guess our landlords liked us just a little bit more than others and decided that us having our kitty wasn't going to be that big of a deal! I promised them that NOTHING will happen to their cute little home, she is such a well behaved, chill cat! Next thing we knew we signed the contract and could start moving in on the first of April...wahooo!!!
I had a hard time letting people over to our hold apartment because it was so small, and could be kind of scary, depending on the people around! It was still pretty hard to say good-bye to so many memories we made there, but I was more than ready to go!! Here are some pictures of our first home!!

This is our first place we called "Home" although it was small, and I really a lot from living here! I learned how to be organized, how to fit 2 lives into one tiny space! I learned rain or shine the laundry needs to be done (our laundry was in another bldg, so we had to carry the laundry across the parking lot) We met a lot of really nice people here and I really learned how to be more tolerant.

This is the view from our balcony!

Our bedroom!!

Our bedroom again, we had a pretty big closest, which was really nice to fit all MY clothes into!

Down the hallway from our bedroom to the family room, its a tight fit! Because I LOVE to decorate, I had a small table against the wall, we had to squeeze down the hall with it there!

The bathroom, its actually pretty nice!! And it is bigger than the one we are in now!

Our very very very small kitchen!! I had hardly any room to put all my cooking utensils, pots and pans were shoved away. There was one cabinet that I put my mixing bowls in and every time it opened, here comes the bowl falling onto the floor.

Family Room

Our last load of boxes, good-bye apartment!!

Our New Home!!

We are part of the house too!

Our way big dining room/Kitchen!! I have so many places to put everything!!!

My very own decorating selves!! I love it...I finally have room to decorate!!

We have met a few of our close neighbors, and they are all so very nice, and have welcomed us in!! I know I am going to love it here!! I am so grateful that we found such a nice place and area to call home!!

Then this last Wednesday we were able to go see Dallas's brother, Dusty and his wife Wendi, sealed in Logan temple!! It was so wonderful to go, it reminds me so much of our special day!! After the Logan temple we were able to go visit my friend Nikell and her husband Barry in their new apartment...it was so nice to visit and get caught up on each other's lives!! We need to do that more often!!
Then on thursday we went and saw my cousin Stewart endowed as he gets ready to go on his mission...I love the temple so much!! (I don't have any pictures of Stewarts endowment, it was a late night!)

Dustin and Wendi!! Congratulations that is so exciting!!
