Moving In: Part 1

Moving in to our new apartment was a lot harder than either of us thought it would be. We started by just emptying our carloads into the soon-to-be living room/kitchen area. From there it was a complete mess. 

Yes, that is trash piled up by our front door.

If these pictures aren't terrible enough, let me tell you about our moving conditions.  We drove up to Provo on the Thursday after Christmas - in a snow storm. The storm continued the entire weekend while we were trying to move our stuff and buy/transfer furniture from various locations. It was not easy. To make things worse our gas wasn't going to be turned on until the next Tuesday. No gas meant no heat and no hot water. So, we were unpacking in the middle of a snow storm with no heat. Saying it was cold does not do the situation justice. We bought ourselves a small space heater to keep us warm at night, but I unpacked for a few days in boots, my heaviest jacket, and a beanie. Carson even resorted to microwaving his socks at one occasion. It was ridiculous. Thankfully, we could take advantage of the warm shower at Carson's parent's house. 

Don't worry. We got through that mess and our apartment looks fabulous now (in my opinion of course), but I am going to make you wait a little to see that.
