We arrived in Phoenix two weeks ago today. We spent the first few days with Thomas's brother Ben. It was hard for us to sleep in a full-sized bed (especially since Thomas is 6'5). Then we spent the next few days in Tuscan with Thomas's best friend, Josh, and his new wife, Lydia. They have a little dog named Jones - and he and Tarzan had a ball romping around together.
On Sunday, we signed a lease for our new apartment. It's so great to be here finally. We shipped our furniture with a semi truck shipping company and couldn't pick it up until Monday. Thomas and I had to pick it all up in a Uhaul. It was a pretty freaky area of Downtown Phoenix. Then when we got to our apartment Paul and Ben (the Bro-in-laws) helped us to move everything up to our second story apartment.
And pretty much every day since then we've been unpacking all of our things. We have so much packing left to do even though we've unpacked tons already.
Great things about our apartment:
- The swimming pool (palm trees and waterfall included)
- Our apartment is the corner apartment and has a wrap-around-porch
- We have our very own laundry room
- I think our funiture looks killer sweet
- There are a ton of closets to store our things in
- I love our green accent wall in the living room
- But my very favorite thing is the DISHWASHER!!!
