New Apartment

Now that we're all settled in, here's a looksy at our new apartment. It is a 2 bedroom, 1 3/4 bath... which means that the second bathroom only has a shower and not a bath/shower combo.

Best feature: We finally have a dishwasher, washer and dryer. I could not be more grateful if I tried. Every morning, I wake up (before I put on my makeup) and go to the kitchen just to kiss my dishwasher, washer and dryer. Don't tell Quin. But seriously, it shaves hours off the week load of chores. Another best feature... the walk-in closet!

Worst feature: The hallway leading to our apartment. This is only bad on certain days when I have a weak stomach. We have a variety of ethnic neighbors, which is great, but let me tell you... they cook from dawn till dusk using loads of garlic, cumin, curry, bell peppers, onions, rosemary, cloves, etc, etc, etc... Some days it's great smelling. Some days it's otherwise. This morning's smell was garlic bread for breakfast... yum.

Below are some pictures. I'm only displaying decently clean rooms because we still haven't unpacked.

Hope you like it, because we certainly do. For those of you who saw our last apartment, you're probably thinking, "Wow, those Shepherd's are really going somewhere in life." And to that we say, #1: you stink and #2: we will always be loyal to our smelly, green carpeted-water coolered-piece of 1970's junk. But I would never in the world move back there! It was truly a health hazard. Our new place rocks.
