We Have an Apartment!

At long last, after an urgent, stressful, mostly disappointing apartment hunt, we officially have a new place to live. So we won't be homeless when the baby comes. Hooray! Out of all the places we looked, this was our favorite, so we were really happy to get it. The owners really seem to like us, and they seem like really good landlords. It's a 3 bed/1.5 bath duplex in Sandy, much like the place we've been living in Provo, but bigger. Here's a picture of the front:

The nice man painting the shutters is Vaun, our landlord.
Here's our fenced in side yard, complete with sprinkler system:

And here is the carport and storage area:

Here's the living room:

And the kitchen:

We're really happy to have found it, and we think it will work well for us. It's in a quiet part of Sandy, close to Trax, and close to lots of shopping and restaurants. It also has some features we've never had in our married lives: a walk-in closet, a bathroom right off our bedroom (though it's just a 1/2 bath), covered parking, and an old basketball hoop. We're also only about ten minutes away from Stephen and Meghan, so we're excited to hang out with them often.
Hooray for a place to live! Hooray that it's not disgusting or stinky! Hooray that it's not tiny! Hooray! Here's another picture of the front because it makes me happy to think about it:

Looks nice! Now you guys are 20 minutes north of us instead of 20 minutes south! We will really have to get together sometime!

I absolutely LOVE that you guys are so close. Lauren and I can practically WALK to see you! It looks like the place is in really good condition, and I LOVE that it is close to TRAX. That is definitely a good thing. Can't wait to see it in person. When will you move in?

Hi Joel & Ami! Joel & I (Brianne) were friends in high school and I came across your blog, so I thought I'd drop a line to say HI. It's been fun to get caught up on the Joel Frost Family. :) Congrats on the baby coming soon!
