While I was away at my conference, all of our furniture arrived! We had our bedroom suit from Raleigh along with all of the stuff we didnt have room for initially sent down here. The same day our Rooms To Go order came in! I cant remember if I mentioned it before but we got to help pick out the furniture for the place- it was SO much fun! We had to keep is pretty basic as it wont always be our place, but I REALLY like the stuff we got and am so thankful that we got help! My sweet sweet husband also moved ALL of our stuff over while I was gone. He is great. He wanted to make sure that I didnt have to move much at all since I had so much going on at work. It's only about the 13th time I've moved since I started college. That's a LOT of moving!
We spent the next week before Krystal and Josh came to visit, decorating and unpacking as much as we could :D I like that stuff A LOT- well unpacking, I hate packing. But we have it pretty much set up now. There are still some things we need to do and buy (like hang pictures, decorate a little more, and get some more furniture) but that's on hold until we know if I get the permanent position here or not. I am also very excited because I can start having my RAs over too!
Here are pictures of the new place thus far!
When you walk in the front door to the left is the foyer, dining room and living room. In the distance you can also see the patio. This place is SO much bigger than the other one!! We actually have a place for ALL of our stuff! YAY!

other side- above the table we are going to put some floating shelves to help fill that wall.
living room! I LOVE the couch! it's SO comfy!! and SO big! John and I can both lay out on it and still have room! It will be great for large groups of people, like when I have meetings with my RAs!
The TV and stuff is still ours and we need a new TV console still too. Also, in the right corner where the chair is, we want to get a living room chair to go there. We put the kitchen chair there to fill up the space for now.

When you come in the front door and go straight, you head into the kitchen :D
One half of the kitchen
Other half! It's a bit out dated, but still plenty of room for us and gets the job done!
Straight back is a little hallway, the pantry is back there and around the corner to the left is the laundry closet. Across from the laundry closet is the man room/Johns
office! :D The chairs in the picture are "fun" chairs! The move every which way. The lady helping us buy furniture for the apartment thought they would be good for a room like that. The pattern is not our favorite, but it's the only one it came in. John keeps his Xbox in there too and that's where he hangs out a lot.
Johns desk area
When you take a right out of the man room, that back hall extends to the bedrooms
There is also a little hall that connects the dining room area to the back hall. The closet you see there is where we keep beach stuff and where I store all the stuff for my RAs.
The room on the left down that back hall is the bathroom
Then at the end of the hall is the guest bedroom (the quilt on the bed is from my mama and papa poor. She knows how much John and I like wolves and so she made us a quilt for our wedding present. :D )
The last room in the place is the master bedroom. The furniture in it, is ours. Johns grand parents gave it to him when he was younger because they knew he would need a nice set one day- thanks grandma! :D (back in the corner you can see where our puppy will sleep!)
Other side of our bedroom. There is also a door to the patio from our room.
Master bath :D
The shower and toilet are separate from the sink- I like it a lot. :D
CLOSET! IT'S SO BIG! YAY! This is Johns side...
My side!
Now the patio is probably my favorite! It's screened in (we still get bugs though and squirrels sneak in too. lol- the squirrels also bark when you get near their territory. I am not crazy. John witnessed it too!)Anyway, we LOVE to grill and there is barely enough room to play corn hole, so it's wonderful :D

So there is still a lot of work to do, but we love living here! :D
