Since we had such a fun time moving the first time, we thought we'd move again! About a month ago we moved into a 2 bedroom apartment in the same complex we were currently living in. It was the next building over and up on the third floor. It's much nicer to have the additional space and I really like not being on ground level!
Chris, Jared's brother came down from Clearfield to help us get stuff moved. As we were packing stuff up and moving things around on Friday night in our old apartment, here's what we came across by our entertainment center.....
We had been smelling a funky smell for a little while and we couldn't figure out where it was coming from. When we went to move stuff by the entertainment center, I thought the floor felt a little wet. After some further investigation, we found out that there was a large patch of mold behind the entertainment center. It had soaked up into the whole bottom of our DVD holder (which we had to get rid of) and also up into the bottom of our entertainment center. We pulled the bottom piece off and here's what it looked like - yuck!!
We were able to take that piece off and put some 'legs' on the entertainment center to get it to work, so we didn't have to replace that. We sanded off a few spots on the bottom that mold had gotten on to, but otherwise it was still in ok condition. I'm just glad we moved or who knows when we would have realized what that smell was. How often do you go looking behind your entertainment center? We obviously don't look behind there very often!
When we got up on Saturday morning at about 6am, here's what it looked like outside! What's with this snow anyways!?!
Both of these pictures were taken from our new third floor balcony
We weren't able to get into the apartment till about 11pm on Friday night because they were still replacing the carpet and vinyl. When they were finally done, here's what we came upon in the bathroom. Here's a new design, the toilet in the bathtub! Lovely, huh? Since they weren't done with the vinyl, the plumber hadn't been back to hook up the toilet. He came about 1pm on Saturday. Luckily it wasn't too far of a walk back to the old apartment if you had to go!
(Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to turn the picture)
Here's a photo of our new living room - it's bigger, which is great!
Here's a picture of our new vinyl in the kitchen (sorry it's sideways) - We lucked out in this apartment too, and got a new dishwasher, new countertops, and a new stove!! Awesome!
We had planned on the Elder's Quorum coming to help us around 8am on Saturday, but nobody showed up. The guy who dropped the ball apologized to us on Sunday and he felt really bad, but we made it work. Chris was a livesaver as he and Jared pretty much moved all the heavy stuff. The apartment manager (and my boss at work) helped them move the washer and dryer at least, and helped us get it hooked up. Crystal also came down from Ogden with all 5 of her muscles (those were her words!) and helped us out as well. Rachel brought the kids over and they were such a fantastic help! Rachel packed stuff up in the old apartment and the kids made tons of trips hauling everything up. We're so thankful to have family close by!!

It was an eventful move, but we're pretty much settled in and loving the space and our new apartment. It definitely feels like home!
She is so cute!
Natalie sure loves her little sister
I love how excited she looks to be a big sister
I love this cute little face
Tabitha was 9 lbs 6 oz and 20 1/2 inches - I love her chubby little belly :)

Pretty waterfall at the gardens
I don't like bees, but I took this pic anyways because I thought it was cool
I totally thought this was a fake duck till I walked up to it and it started to move - ha ha
Denae and me!
I just thought this tree was pretty with the blossoms and there's the Capitol in the background
