Apartments.....

I know it may sound crazy but I am super excited to move this weekend! I took Thursday, Friday and Saturday off so we could paint, pack and move! This is probably going to be our last place of residency for a while so we want to make it comfortable. Thus, as soon as Luke, my artistic husband, found out that we could paint our new apartment he immediately almost burst at the seams with excitement. So hopefully our budget can fit a couple of cans of paint, and a lot of tender loving care is going to go into preparing this apartment. Then on Friday while the paint dries we are planning on packing like crazy all day Friday to prepare for the marvelous people that are planning on helping us on Saturday with the actual move! We are mostly excited because The Pie is going to be delivered right to our door! Which is probably not so good with my diet! Also, we are excited to have a working heater again! Me and Luke are very crazy people and we weren't planning on using our heater before we moved so we could save some money, but our landlords came in and "prepared" our heater for winter a while ago and despite the fact that the thermostat said that it wasn't on it was constantly running and our house was abnormally hot! So, we couldn't figure out how to turn it off other than to turn the pilot off and switch off the breaker...yes we are crazy! But, now little did we know it was going to get freakishly cold and snow! So we have depended on layering our clothing and heaters throughout the house to get us through until we move into a toasty apartment! We are both super excited to be able to de-junk our house and start out new! We are sad to find out that we can only have a 110 volt dryer, which at first didn't sound too bad...but today we looked into it and found out how bad it really is. We talked to a guy at RC Willey and as soon as we mentioned it he asked if we were moving in the University of Utah Student Housing, and he said they are ridiculously priced usually between four and five hundred dollars and it takes around three to four hours to dry a load of clothes. So we are still deciding what we are going to do on the laundry front, but we are still super stoked for the new adventure. Luke, of course is going to miss his Young Men from our ward and I am going to miss everyone from the relief society, but we are looking forward to starting out new and getting to know some people! So, stay tuned for the craziness to come....
