Apartment

We signed up for a 2 bedroom apartment in North Wymount a couple of months ago about two weeks before we were to move back we got an email saying that the people who were supposed to move out of our future apartment decided they wanted to stay. We were given two options. One in south Wymount and the other in North. One was a two bedroom and the other was a bedroom with a study. We picked the bedroom with study.


To be honest it was an alright apartment. I only had a couple of issues with the apartment.
1. First and most importantly, our items were not going to fit inside the apartment.
2. The living room was almost as small as a hallway. It was long but narrow.
3. The kitchen was decent, but the stove was honestly from the 40's As you can see from the picture.
4. The kitchen was filthy when I went to look at it.
5. Someone was parked in my designated spot

Jason was still in Montana when I first saw the apartment. I knew there was no way our stuff was going to fit in that apartment. It did not reflect the pictures we had seen when we looked at pictures online. I went to the office and spoke with the woman I had been emailing and spoke to her about my problem. She gave me 4 keys so I could look at four apartments in North Wymount and see which one we wanted.

They were all very nice. Bigger than the apartment in south wymount. The main thing we wanted was a bottom level. Out of keys she gave me only one was the bottom level. Amazingly it had just gotten a brand new stove. There was tape still on it and the oven manual was on the counter.


We are still in the process of setting it up and maybe I will post more pictures.

HP:HBP Midnight

HP HBP

We went to the midnight showing for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.
We waited for about 4 hours in line and then got to wait in the theatre for the next 2 hours until the movie started. We went to the new University mall theater and it was so delightful (minus the stupid arm rest. When you lean your chair back and have the arm rest up it doesn't recline with the chair so it gets really uncomfortable).

The movie was pretty good. They left out a TON of stuff, but with only 2 hours and 35 minutes what did you expect? They changed a couple of things, some vital to the books story-line. 

All in all the movie was pretty darn good. It had fantastic acting, wonderful special effects, and beautiful cinematography. 
You know when you are watching a movie and one of the actors has to cry? These parts usually bug me so much because it looks like the actor is totally faking it, which they are, but I don't want to think they are pretending- that's the whole point of ACTING! Anyways... No such instances in the movie.

Anyways... I am a little tired, and need to get ready for school.

quick catch up

Jason and I are back in Utah and settling in. I now have internet and figured I should do a quick catch up. 

The first and most important thing is that Jason and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary on the 26th of June! 



The 4th of July was really fun this year. We went to dinner at the Brick Oven and then went to watch the fireworks by the bell tower. 

We have moved into our new apartment in Provo. We are VERY pleased with it so far. We have upgraded to a 2 bedroom apartment and it is treating us very well. The living room is ginourmous! The apartment doesn't have wireless internet so we went and got a wireless router today so we could use the internet throughout the apartment. We went to Ikea for the first time ever! I had a gift card that I got from Caidy for Christmas of 2007 (oops, it only took me forever)! We walked around, and I got a little lost. We ended up getting a pack of beautiful glasses and a fairly large rug! That store is seriously awesome. It has such great deals that it's worth the drive up to Draper.
