Jon's adorable family drove 6 hours to Austin to scope out apartments for us and they found us an absolute gem. Our new apartment is hands down the greatest place I have ever lived and definitely the best apartment Jon and I have had since we got married.
The Kitchen
I don't know if it's a girl thing or something that came with getting married or perhaps its something people in general love, but these pictures don't do justice to the glorious amounts of counter space I have in my new kitchen,
which also comes with a garbage can that is magically emptied if I leave it outside my door.
But my very favorite part is the dishwasher--I have lived without one for far too long. Whoever invented the dishwasher deserves a gold star and a lifetime supply of King Vitamin.
I pronounced kitchen officially unpacked when the owls were placed on the counter.
The Living Room
Mmmhmm. It's a living room alright.
Jon's Creative Nook
The living room is big enough that we got to make a little nook for Jon to unleash his creative genius on his artwork. This works perfect because Jon can focus on his comics and I can read on the couch.
Sometimes Jon uses Spidey for a little inspiration.
Jon put up these pictures of us the summer we met and I got a haircut that made me look like a little boy and he had the sweet grace to fall in love with me anyway.
Our bookcase got a little shorter during the move--Target Schmarget--so I ended up picking my favorites and packing the rest of my books until we get another one. That's Julio Huesos and Pumpkin Head hanging out on the top shelf.
And above the bookcase is this cool picture we inherited from Jon's sisters because they couldn't fit it in their car when they moved back to Texas.
The Bathroom
The Outside and Whatnot
Our apartment is on the third floor right behind the middle palm tree. For the first week we were living here it felt like we were on vacation or visiting someone else's life. If it wasn't for the heat, Austin would be an absolute paradise--it's so hot that I have pretty much become a vampire and only come out once the sun has gone down.
