Jason and Shannon: New Apartment

I has been a little while since I have been constant in my posting, so I am going to try harder. We have our apartment set up... It's kind of messy right now, Jason is unpacking a box that we stuffed in the closet because we didn't want to do anything with it until now, and I am scrapbooking... Oh, and we are watching stuff about college football on the mtn.

When we first walked in the dishwasher was in the living room, the fridge was pulled out, and the oven was outside! We were like, "are you sure this is supposed to be it?" So we went back to the office and the woman said that they were putting in new carpet and linolium in the kitchen and they should be done in a few hours. Since we decided to move in a day early we were ok that everything wasn't put together yet, we were still waiting on all of our things Jason's parents were going to bring down from Montana. We went and ran a few errands and then came back and everything was back together but the carpet had little bits of carpet pieces all over, and we decided to clean it up to our liking. We had been cleaning for about half an hour (maybe less, maybe more) and we heard a key in the lock and then someone tried to open the door (we had the door already unlocked so he had just locked it) he tried it again, walked in, saw us and was like, "They said you weren't moving in until tomorrow." He introduced himself as the repairman and he had a really neat accent (we think it was russian or something like it.) We told him it was fine and he was just going to fix a few things, so we cleaned while he fixed things, then we all left. Jason and I came back the next day and finished cleaning until his parents came with our stuff, then we unpacked. We literally just took the things out of the trailer and put them in our living room. We set up our bed and tv and then we all went out to eat, (My mom, Janna, Kate, Penny, Jason, Me, Denny, and Rita.) We went to Sizzler and I didn't think I would like it, but it was pretty good. By the time we finished eating It was about 10:00 PM so we went home to put things away. Cousin Davey came over and put our vacuum together and chatted for a while. He left and we went to sleep.

We realized our couches were hideous!!! I'm not joking, a checkered blue, green, and white. We just didn't like them. We went to a few different stores looking for couch covers and they were $80.00 + it was ridiculous, we decided to look at wal mart and if they didn't have any then I would just have to make them myself. We found one for $20.00 but the color didn't match anything in the room, so we pulled it out to see what it looked like, and it was just a blanket!!! We thought it was a waste of money so we put it back and bought 1 dollar a yard fabric and I made couch covers. I even made some pillows to match.

We unpacked all of our kitchen appliances and dishes and put them in the cupboards and realized that there wasn't going to be any room for any food in the cupboards. We had to be creative and get one of those plastic drawers (kind of like a rubbermaid dresser) and we put the food in that. Anyways... This is what the couch looked like before, you can also see things being set up.
