THE apartment!!!

Hello! Here are some pictures of the apartment!! :) Keep in mind, it's not fully decorated...and it's also not quite as neat as it can be in these pictures. :)





Here is our lovely TV stand/entertainment center! We fought and fought about which one to get and instead we got this one that neither one of us thought we liked. But we love it. :)

The kitchen...there is very little counter space and cabinet space but so far it's working...of course, we dont' have any cooking things yet lol
The view from the kitchen into the living room. Those windows get SUCH amazing sun light...when it's sunny! And the door to the right goes out onto this cute little patio/balcony thing. it has a small storage unit too. Didn't get a picture of that.
The view of the front door. Our lovely green accent wall. Notice the adorable throw pillows! (thanks ma!)
Here's the best picture I could get of our closet. It's pretty much PACKED! That and under the bed are the only places we really have to store things but it works...until we get all my stuff in there haha!
The picture of our bathroom. Not missing much from this picture...it's pretty small...there's a plain shower curtain and a big cabinet above the toilet...sink, counter...nothing too special.

I left my heart in Moab

So I got to go to Moab last weekend for the FIRST TIME EVER! A bunch of people from church were going and Chase and I decided to join them. :)
Pretty much everyone got there Friday night around...9:00pm I think? But, of course, that was the ONE night Chase had to work until around 7:00!! So, we drove to Price and stayed the night there and woke up bright and early (5:30am) Saturday morning to make it to Moab in time for breakfast, even though Chases dad had already made us a wonderful oatmeal breakfast, and the first sermon.


Robert Marshall, our...part-time pastor helper guy from church, came with his family and he spoke about how God has a plan for all of us and that he is good and does not mean us harm, even if bad things happen. It was a very applicable topic since pretty much everyone there was dealing with big, life-changing decisions ie: marriage, children, careers, school etc. etc. And we got to sing around the campfire too! It was a very uplifting and rejuvinating weekend!


So, Saturday, we had our "talk" from pastor Robert and breakfast and then it was just free time until the evening. There was a group going mountain biking, a group going rock climbing and some staying back at the camp site and some going hiking so I decided to go hiking! I hiked up to the delicate arch, which I had NEVER SEEN! And Sunday we had another talk and then more free time and then you could leave whenever! :) Chase went rock climbing and I went into town to see some cool Moabian stores. Got a t-shirt and a cool necklace and some mom's day presents. :)

here are some pictures!!
Below is a pic of Nathan and Melissa cooking!! They were our awesome super duper gourmet camping chefs!! They made eggs, french toast, bacon, hash browns, green beans, potatoes, grilled some awesome hot dogs, chicken, brats, DELICIOUS DUTCH OVEN BROWNIES AND PEACH COBBLER!!
