Tim and I have had quite the summer, and it just got more exciting about a month ago when we finally returned back to Provo. Looking for housing in Provo is a nightmare-especially when you are not there to see the apartments. We were so excited when we found an apartment that we had actually looked at before we were married-and liked. The problem is that when we got into our apartment, it hadn't even been cleaned. The floors were stained and dirty, the toilet had a ring, and the tub had something green growing in it. Tim and I spent the first few days debating on whether or not we should look for another place to live.
One night Tim had gone to the store, so I got down on my hands and knees and started scrubbing the kitchen floor. Luckily, most of the yucky stains came off! When Tim saw it, he got excited and started scrubbing the tub. After many hours of labor and several trips to the store to buy cleaning supplies, our apartment was deemed livable! I even talked to the manager and he took money off our September rent (although, looking back, I probably should have asked for more off). Here are two pictures of our apartment. They don't show much, but I'll take more when we've hung pictures and everything.
We also got a duvet on clearance at Bed, Bath and Beyond, so we bought pillows and everything to go with it. It's really cute!
