It's the little things really.

So today I've been a bit stressed about how much we still need to do to settle our apartment... like unpack the millions of boxes in the office and make it so that our internet actually works rather than making it so that only one computer can get internet with the ethernet cord plugged into it... on a good day. And then I looked around and thought: "We've got a really awesome apartment and we're really lucky." So now I'm still stressed but much more grateful. So I thought I'd share some of my favorite little things about the new apartment while we're still getting settled. We'll start off this countdown with the best part of the apartment.

1. Josh lives in it... that's definitely the best part of this apartment.




2. This is my second favorite thing.... the bookshelf :) Yes it's color coordinated and none of my "Series of Unfortunate Events" are even close to each other on the shelf.... but I love it so much! Also, I've got a copy of "Through the Looking Glass" from my grandma that's from 1896. How awesome is that?





3. The view from our toilet... I know that sounds weird and maybe even a little disgusting... but just wait until you see it!



Even the view behind the toilet is pretty cool.





4. Our salt and pepper shakers.... Those are pretty self explanatory. They bring a little spice to our kitchen table... and that bad pun was evidence of the fact that it's Friday after a long work week.




5. The metal stars hanging above our sink. Josh and I hung those ourselves.... so if they're crooked... that's why :)





6. What we have until we can get a dog... "Sushi" our bamboo shoot!






7. Alright so this shouldn't be number seven this should be negative 1 since it's my LEAST favorite thing.... All of the boxes we need to unpack still.




Even with the boxes, I love our little apartment :) Once we get more done I'll post more pictures!

The Final Countdown

Well it's only two days from the wedding and I think I've made a discovery: The week before you get married is meant to prepare you for the rest of marriage... because if you can get through all the wedding plans and moving up to the third floor of your apartment, you can get through anything. Josh and I are sore, tired, and slightly homeless right now but it's all worth it. We still have tons of boxes at my parent house that need to be moved over but for now, we've done everything we're going to do before the wedding... Time for no more stress. I have some pictures of the apartment so far, though we don't have any pictures hung up and everything isn't in there... but for now this is what it looks like :) I love it!

Josh and I have a lot to live up to

It's a well known fact (to me anyways) that I have tragically adorable nieces and nephews. I already had quite a bit to live up to on the crane side but then what do I do? I go off and marry a guy who also has amazingly cute nieces and nephews. Talk about pressure! But anyways, Josh and I went to California to help Annie move into her house/Be at Van's baby blessing/see my Dad and Maddie/Go to my uncle Denny's beach party. It was a very busy trip but we had tons of fun and we both agree that we just keep getting more and more reasons to visit California (as if we didn't have enough already).



Josh decided he really liked my new hat... maybe he liked it a bit too much :)




The Camp family gathered at the beach for our bonfire.



Joe and the girls all fell asleep on Mandy and I'm pretty sure it was the cutest thing ever witnessed.






Uncle Joshy looking so happy that Brynn warmed up to him.



And of course the man of the hour! Van looking cute as a button for his baby blessing.

All in all it was a pretty amazing trip, we got to spend time with the Camps and the Cranes. It's nice to know that when we come to visit CA we've got lots of family here for us to love.

The new blog

Well here it is. You all knew it was coming. Josh and I now have a blog to keep everyone updated on our lives. We could have waited until we were married but I figured things might be a bit hectic so why not make it while we have some time? The big day is about 5 weeks away now and plans are almost done. All we really need to finish up now is our slide show and some last minute odds and ends. We just officially signed a contract for our apartment, Grandview Manor Apartments. We actually weren't too interested in it when we first started looking for apartments but once we went inside we loved it. For married student housing in Provo it's pretty big and reasonably priced so we're very happy with it! We should be able to move all our stuff in about a week before we get married so that'll be nice to have it all settled and organized before the big day. We'll post pictures soon! Until then, so long!
