July Happenings

Well, it has been forever since I have been on here so time to fill you in on what's been going on. Chris and I took an apartment hunting trip to Michigan the end of June and found a really nice place that we are so excited about, but don't really have any pictures of our exact place so won't really post any until we get there. Really, this month our time has consisted of deep cleaning, projects, and packing things up in boxes or bags to take to goodwill so we don't have so much to do come actual moving time. Luckily, this time we don't have to pack ourselves, so that will be really nice. Time is flying, already it is only about 1 month until we move and less than that until they come to pack us up. We will be packed up about 1 week earlier than we head out of town so hotel living here we come!

Project - we have been talking forever about painting our tv stand black to match all of our not so new decor anymore and finally this weekend, we did it.

Before

After

Cleaning - I didn't take a before and after picture of the oven because that is just wrong, but here is the oven half way done cleaning, looking pretty good - I hope my next place has a self cleaning oven. :) Actually, I found this easy oven off spray and it works amazing!


Boxes and bags - yes you see correct, we are getting rid of all our John Deere!!!



Much to our surprise, we found this little critter in our apartment this weekend. He was just hanging out in our bedroom on the ceiling! Chris caught him and went and put him in some bushes outside. He was such a tiny little guy!




And last but not least, we finally got all of our keychains in a little display case. We collect a keychain in every state we go to. We are still missing Idaho and Nevada, but we will be able to get 5 more keychains on our next move plus we hope to find one in Canada too sometime while living in Michigan.
