an everything update!

Ok so we have all figured out that I am pretty bad at this blog thing. But the weird thing is that I love to blog, so the question is...why can't I update it more often? Well my old excuse was that I was so busy with school and volleyball, but I have been out of school and volleyball for two weeks now and still haven't updated. So this is my time to update before school and volleyball come back into play next week. So I will start at the beginning of December :)

December 4th, we moved out of Eve's basement and into our own place! I promised pictures in my last post and here they are almost a month later. ha.

This first couple of pictures are of us moving and packing.

This is where we had to do our dishes for six months....not fun. It's so nice having a sink now. This was our last dishes we did at Eve's house. yay!

This is our new living room. I obviously took these pictures before everything was brought in. We still had the big furniture to bring in. But that's our patio outside!
This is another view of the living room. With your back to the patio door looking at the kitchen.
THE KITCHEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our handicap bathroom. Yes, handicap. Long story short...we wanted an apartment that faced the right direction to get a dish for tv. The only one they had was this handicap apartment. But it actually worked out well because the rent was $50 cheaper a month. Nice huh?
The bedroom with nothing in it.
The walk-in closet. This is Jonny's favorite part.
This is our stacking washer and dryer that came in the apartment. It has been so nice to be able to do laundry as often and whenever needed.
So that's enough for right now. I will get pictures of the finished apartment up soon. You can see all of our cute picture frames on the wall and all the other fun things that we have done. Ok so after we moved into this apartment, Jonny and I were getting ready for finals. Finals week was done December 16th. We flew out the next morning, the 17th, for FLORIDA!!! Jonny's sister lives out there, right on the panhandle. We spent 15 days there in Florida. We had Christmas there, where we were all sick and 10 of the 12 people(including 4 kids) all threw up within a week time period. That was the weirdest thing but it was also nice to know someone, basically everyone, knew how you were feeling. We also rode go karts there, went to the beach, went shopping, played games and created memories as a family. That was so much fun and I hope we will be able to get the chance to go out there again. Also on Christmas, my brother-in-law proposed to his girlfriend and they will be getting married sometime soon. They haven't picked a date yet but sometime probably in the next 6 months or so. So that was exciting!

We flew home New Years Eve and walked through our door about 4pm. It was sad to have to leave Jonny's family but it was sure nice to be home. That night, we went up to my sister's house, Sandy, and hung out with her and my other sister and brother-in-law, Jessica and Harrison. We made cookies, played games and stayed up until 3am playing a game and laughing at the dumbest things...but that was sure a lot of fun!

The last couple of days have just been relaxing days. Jonny started school today. I don't start for another week so that is super nice. Jonny's birthday was yesterday and we had some friends come over for dinner/cake/games. Those pictures are on a friends camera and will soon be here, hopefully. Today, I woke up sick once again. I have gotten sick more in the last two weeks than I have in the past six months. I just hope that it is a quicky sickness and I can be back on my feet with my strength back to be ready to go for volleyball and school to start up.

So that is about it for our update. We are happy as can be. We have our own place. We have been married for six months already. We love our little family and can't wait to extend it. (but don't worry, not until after volleyball is over for sure!) :) We love you all.
