Our First Little Apartment!

Finally, I post! Things are always crazy busy and it is hard to find time to post! But after recently reading other blogs religiously, it has inspired me to post more, so that I will have these memories someday when I am older and forget what happened when I was younger.

Kurt and I moved into our first apartment this past July. Our apartment is on the 3rd floor and of course we decided to move in on the hottest day of the summer- the car thermometer read over 100 degrees and it surely felt like it was 120 degrees. We did not have air conditioning. Thanks to our amazing friends and family- we moved in, in record time, a little over an hour. We really could not be more thankful for everyone who helped us on that very hot day- we are blessed.

The apartment was left filthy from the previous renters. We scrubbed the apartment from top to bottom and it took us about a week of straight scrubbing. Thankfully Kurt had not yet started school and he had time to clean and scrub while I was in school. After we finally got the apartment squeaky clean, we started to unpack.  Three months later we are finally unpacked and our apartment feels like a home. We love the area we are in, only a 4 minute walk to class and a 7 minute walk to the hospital for clinical. There are so many good restaurants and pretty parks close by that keep us entertained. We are slowly adjusting to city life and we are starting to love living in the city. Who knew these country people would adjust so well to living in the city.

Here are some pictures of our new home:

 Decorations made from Pinterest! 

 Our chairless desk- need to get a chair!

Kurt's pretty dresser! (Again Pinterest creations)

Friends- come visit, there is a futon to sleep on! :)

Where we spend most of our time! :)

 I love having two levels- the upstairs looks over our living room!

 I love this quote that my Aunt got us for our apartment!

Kurt's favorite place to lay.

I love the cast iron railing.

 Favorite Mirror!

A new favorite color is green...

... and turquoise/teal!

Meet our pet (well technically Kurt's pet) but he shares! His name is 

Jefferson Tyrell! We call him Jeffy!

Driving back to Philly.

In his new fish bowl! He loves to hide, I can never get a picture of him. But he is red with turquoise spots and he loves to swim laps around his fish bowl. I feel bad for him- seems like a pretty boring life. I hope he is happy though!
