Homeless for Christmas...

***(just as a reminder, there have been several new posts so scroll dowm to make sure you've read the other recent ones! this is one of the last reminders i'll be sending haha)

We are leaving tomorrow morning to head off on our adventurous Thanksgiving break. Tonight Nancy, Carl, and Lisa (aunt and uncle) are coming into town so we're staying to see them for a little bit. Tomorrow we head out early and drive the 6-7 hour drive to Birmingham yet again. Tuesday we are going to Memphis, and Wednesday we head out to Missouri for Thanksgiving with the Burris Bunch! Details on all this later...

Last weekend we headed to Birmingham to check out stuff with jobs and places to live because if we didn't find somewhere soon we would have absolutely nowhere to go because we have to be out of this apt. by the 23rd and then we pay by the day until the 26th so thats moving time. Graduation is on the 20th so that is exciting, but if we didn't find somewhere to live we'd end up on the streets...haha ok probably not but we'd be with parents and nothing against them, but i'm sure they dont want us hanging around and mooching off of them all the time ha. SO this week we finalized apartment stuff and we have somewhere to live! Technically we will be homeless as of Christmas which will be a funny story to tell the kids one day. It will be like the "when I was young I had to walk to school in the snow barefoot! uphill! bothways!!" that you always hear. Ours, although not quite as horrible as that, will be more like "Well when I was your age, your Dad and I were homeless for our first Christmas together, but our love kept us going..." haha. No but we can move in the 27th and this place is WONDERFUL!! (http://www.eagleridgebham.com/ - check it out!) So that has been the high point this week. The low points have included paying bills and realizing we are actually grown-up now, no playing around anymore...the registrar's office telling Chad that he didn't have enough hours to graduate (yeah, i had a heart attack) and then finding out it was a mistake on the computers part...several tests and projects...etc. BUT we have a place to live. Good :)

OK so I have yet to put any pictures of our apartment up and since we're moving in a month, I guess it would be a decent time to show you since there will be even newer apartment pictures in a month and a half ha. So here they are!

Ok so you walk in the front door and look to the right and this is on your right...

Then to the left of the futon is our main set up. Yes, those picture frames have the original paper in them...

Across from the couch is the TV. Family Feud in case you were wondering.

Dinning Room table and our lovely bamboo!

To the left of the table is a peek into our kitchen

Kitchen pantry, HUGE - i love it and i will miss it a ton because our next one is basically the size of one shelf of this one. This is before we stocked it...ha

Right side of the kitchen...

Left side of the kitchen....

180 to the fridge

Now from the front door if you turn left is our stairs

And that looks into our bathroom at the top

Shower curtain...exciting

And then our room!!

Alright well thats it of the apartment but these are a few new details added recently. These are our new coasters! Chad found them on sale at Linens and Things and it goes perfectly with everything we have!

This is from Bed Bath and Beyond and it is positively spectacular. See the keyring? No, nothing is holding it on. Its magnetic so you just throw your keys on and they magically stick. Those are bills at the top...nowhere near as exciting as the magnent.

And this is us matching in our Auburn gear making coffee for a relaxing evening. So cute haha

More soon! Try to keep up! :)
