Townhouse

Back in the beginning of July we moved from our apartment in Rexburg, to our townhouse in Idaho Falls! The plan was for me to go to Itech to do nursing and Jake to go to Itech to finish automotive.... Long story short I'm going to BYUI for social work (and I am REALLY EXCITED about it) and Jake is going to decide before January where he will either start his winter/spring track at BYUI or start the automotive program at Itech. For the record, we still LOVE living in IF way better than Rexburg and we LOVE our ward and our calling. We team teach the CTR 6 kids in primary and it's so fun.

So onto the tour of our new place....

This is when you walk in the front door. Our couches were from the Cromwell parents when they got new ones! Yay! (The pile of clothes are my summer clothes that my momsy sent me!!!)

This is the big blank wall that needs something. That's our TV, also from the Cromwells.

This closet rocks it's so big. We keep all of our shoes and picnic baskets and suitcases in there.

This is the half bath that is on the main floor.

This is our pantry. I'm so excited to have a pantry!

Even better, this is our LAUNDRY ROOM. I so love it!! and yes that's the cute C from our reception hanging there.... I need to decide where to hang it!

This is our kitchen... Don't know why the picture is so dark. I love the curtains by the way.

More kitchen.

More kitchen. It's so much bigger than our last kitchen it's great.

The clock we got from the Bluth's that I LOVE.

Time to go upstairs....

.....

Closet at the top of the stairs.

Extra bedroom for our extra couch and Jake's weights.

And his pull up bar.

It has a big ol closet.

The extra bathroom.

The cute towels that the Cordells gave me when I left for college.

Our bed. (There's actually room for each of us to have a nightstand, YAY!)

Our dresser, actually in our bedroom in this townhouse! I don't know if you remember, it inly fit in our living room in Rexburg!

Our mirror that I love. I don't want it on the dresser like it's supposed to be because I like that I can see all of me not just the top half. I have a bathroom mirror for that. But Jake thinks I'm crazy...

Our Bathroom.

We still use the bins.

Our closet

The right side of our closet

We LOVE this place so much. Now that we live here I don't think I could ever go back to living in that closet apartment we lived in in Rexburg! Good thing I didn't know any better! Haha

I LOVE it! It looks so huge! What's outside your ginormous windows in the dining area? It looks like you get a lot of light, which I LOVE.

About your closet apartment - it was so tiny and cute! Every married couple should have a place where they say, I can't believe we lived there!

You know full length mirrors are like, $5 at Walmart? They totally are.

I think you guys were just supposed to be in Idaho Falls for some reason. It seems like the ward is a MUCH better match and you and Jake have good jobs there. It's all groovy.

I think you will LOVE your chosen field of study. It is perfect for your personality and goals.

I LOVE YOU! It feels like I haven't seen you in ages and I can't believe my baby lives across the country. (or it is us that live across the country?)

I am so glad that you are happy!

XOXOX, Momsy

Congrats on your education change, sounds like something you will be so good at. Great apartment! I agree with your mom, you just have to have the story of the little place you can't believe you lived in at one time. Enjoy this time of life...wait, I think you already are! :)

Oh my gosh Raerae! I love that apartment! it's HUGE compared to your old one! You should put some big 'ol pictures of you and Jake on that blank wall or something. That's so cute that y'all are primary teachers! that sounds like such a fun calling!
