Moving In

Bethany and I have started moving into our apartment. It is a lot of work and we do not have a lot of furniture. Here is a picture of the apartment when we bought it and it was totally empty.

We finally had a little Christmas party and opened up all the boxes we had packed about a month ago. It was almost like playing the time capsule game. Every time we opened a box it was something else we wanted and needed! We then began the long task of finding a home for everything in those boxes in our new apartment. Yeah that task is still going on. We still have not gone back to Bed, Bath, and Beyond

Bethany and I tried to go yard sale hunting in the city of Tucson but every time we showed up at a house all the furniture was gone. We later found out the Mexicans come up from across the border with large trucks and literally buy everything at a yard sale and then bring it back down into Mexico for sale. Blast. So we will try again probably next break. We did, however, manage to get a nice small entertainment center that fits perfectly in our living room. Now we just need a TV. We also found a great coffee table at Goodwill for $15. Our next place to explore will be a big furniture warehouse where they may have cheap stuff that has been knicked up a little.
