Our Apartment.





Front Room, our friend Bethany who is so kind, is letting us borrow her couches while she is in Egypt for one more year. Thanks Beth!



By the way, we got that TV stand for 15 dollars and the TV was free, from Mark's brother. Such a deal!



The Kitchen, is quite small but it does work now, when we got here we went to the store and bought so much meat (particularly pork chops, we definitely missed them) and put it in the freezer. The freezer was strangely not "freezing" but we just figured it had been unplugged so we just needed to wait, NOT it so wasn't working and all the meat was spoiled. Annoying! We felt like we were back in Egypt although, our apt was pretty great there. But now it works great.


Bedroom, we did miss our bed while we were in Egypt

We do really like our apartment. It is in a great location. We have a second bedroom but it still has some boxes in it so I didn't worry about putting a picture up although, we found this great desk. We needed to get one and the one we liked were more than we wanted to spend. We went to Office Depot and were talking with the manager and he said that there was a desk they had had in the back since the store opened in 2006 that they couldn't sell. (I think it was because they never had it on display so no one ever saw it duh?) So he said he would give it to us for a great price. The original price was 200 dollars which we would never pay for a desk, and we got it for 74. Good thing we got all those bargaining skills in Cairo!

Hey, I need to put a link to your blog on my blog so I remember you have one now! Your apartment looks great. Nice "Spencer" sign! And it looks like the tile turned out very nice as well. Too bad about the meat. That would be frustrating. I'm glad it's working now. Hope you continued to get settled in.
