Our new place!!

We are finally all settled into our new place!! We got the keys Monday morning and then spent the day at furniture stores stocking up on the essentials. We got a new bed frame and mattress, two night stands and lamps, a desk and chair since I will be working from home, a couch and a loveseat, as well as a lot of smaller items. We still need quite a few things before we will be satisfied with our place like some wall decorations, curtains, a rug for the living room, end tables, a coffee table or ottoman, and a few smaller things so I think we have a few more shopping trips in our near future! Our place is kind of small, but for just me and Anthony it is really the perfect size! We love it and are so happy to be settled in so quickly! We definitely appreciate Tony and Jen letting us crash with them for the first week here while we searched for the perfect apartment! :)

 

We had our cable, internet, and phone hooked up yesterday. The phone still isn't working so someone is coming tonight to hopefully get it going. Our new home number will be 949-748-3837. We have unlimited long distance (and our cell phones don't get the best reception inside our apartment) so if I am calling you it will most likely be from that number. We can start using Skype and Face Time to chat with everyone back home now too so I'm very excited about that!! We are planning to Skype with my parents tonight so we'll see how that goes!

I took a bunch of pictures of our new apartment that you can see below. It's so weird moving into a new place and not having friends and family stop by to visit and check it out.  Just one more thing to get used to living across the country from everyone! Thank goodness we have Tony and Jen here or it would really be strange not knowing anyone at all!! Luckily our apartment complex is huge (basically the entire population of Wilton could live here) so I'm sure we will start meeting people soon in the common areas around our complex.  

 

It's 3:30 right now and the temperature is 82 degrees. We are absolutely LOVING the weather here!! Although it sounds like the temperatures haven't been too bad at home either, I still prefer the 80's to the 50's. :) We're hoping to go to L.A./Hollywood either this weekend or next to do some sightseeing, so we will definitely post pictures of that afterwards! We also have our first visitors booked to come see us!! My parents are coming February 2nd-6th so I am really looking forward to that!!!

 

Well, I guess that's it for now. We miss everyone a lot and love hearing from all of you so please keep in touch!!!
