Falling in to place

So. in the last week Jeff and I have mailed out half of our announcements, found a place to live, and gotten some furniture. Our announcements are way cute! butttt a little tedious to put together. As i would address the envelopes, jeff would, as he says, glue white square to blue square. glue blue square to blue strip. bend blue strip. glue blue strip together. slide in announcement and picture. he LOVED it. :)
Next is the housing NIGHTMARE. i have been looking for housing since before jeff and i were engaged. i've called more than 50 people. visited many apartments. and nothing was falling into place. On friday, we were going to look at an apartment appointment but ended up mixing up the time and went a half hour late and were unable to go see the apartment. On the way home, we passed a house with a for rent sign out front. Called the number and he told us the basement was unlocked and we could go in and look around and see which of the two basement apartments we liked better. as soon as we walked in we were in love :). AND they had a washer and dryer!!! after calling him back and talking back in forth we decided to take the apartment. :)
saturday i found some furniture on craigslist and decided it would be a good buy. poor choice to do so already. first jeff and i moved the mattress, boxspring, and bedframe into the house. (hard to do in a nissan xterra but an adventure none the less)
Then we waited for our friend Austin to get off work so he could help us move the rest. We went back to get the couch entertainment center and tv... on the way home my car was crazy. first. there was a huge wooden entertainment center on top. a couch hanging out the back with austin laying on it jeff in the front seat with a TV on his lap. oh wait. we went through a taco bell drive through and made the lady at the window laugh out loud when austin ordered on a couch in the back of a car :) we went to move the couch in and it didnt fit :( oh well... we'll just keep trying. as usual we are playing card games all the time... our new favorite pass time!! :) ... just ask jeff if you ever want to learn to play YOU BET YOUR GRANDMA :)
can't wait to get pictures up of our cute new apartment :)
