in which I refer you to my flickr photostream...

Pictures of our apartment with stuff in it are up on my flickr.
You'll also find a few (no, really, like less than 5) pictures from Tye's visit. We went to a really cute place called Comfort, but my camera's battery was dying, so I didn't take a lot of pictures.
(picture taken by Leanne's wonderful camera. I am trying not to laugh at the guy taking the picture, who said "You look like ducks!" or something along those lines, because we were in a V formation. Also, a prize to the first person that notices what's different about this picture. Here's a hint: I learned a valuable lesson this week about keeping track of how long I use one pair of contacts.)
You'll also find really blurry, hard to understand pictures from the night I went out with Leanne, Diana, Shannon and Rebecca and had a ridiculous amount of fun. My camera was on its last little bit of energy, but I tried to take a few good pictures (uhh, they're "artsy"??).

There is a hilarious story behind this picture. I wish I could tell you, but 1) it's really Diana's story and 2) it's probably one of those "you had to be there (especially after a few cucumber mojitos)" stories.
There are also pictures (and videos) of when David and I went to the Gone to the Birds festival to see the Purple Martins. It was crazy to see! The picture above is a shot of the huge flock we saw first.
This hawk snatched a Purple Martin out of the air, plucked it, tenderized it with its claws and then ate it whole. Someone in the crowd called it a Republican, which got a lot of laughs. It then flew into a tree full of Martins to try and get another. What a jerk.

I know you want to see the new place, right?


Jackie's ready to move! She did this while I was packing up some kitchen stuff today.

Today was the big day! ...sort of. We got the keys. Our bathtub is being redone tomorrow and we can't use it for 3 days. That's okay because we're not getting our truck until the 3rd and not moving the "big stuff" until the 4th. We dropped off some books, CDs and DVDs, though, to get them out of the way.

View from the door.

Living room/dining room rooms.

Back living room/dining room. I'm pretty sure this will have a couch and tv and whatnot.

First bedroom by the door. This will probably be our computer room/study/whatever.

Second bedroom, closer to the back. This will probably be our bedroom because it's larger and doesn't get full on sun, so it keeps nice and cool.

Bathroom, in between two bedrooms.

View from the back of the apartment to the front.


The kitchen. That wooden thing attached to the wall is a table that folds up and down.

The pantry.

Front porch. We have a back porch, too, but I didn't take a picture of it.
