My Life is One Giant Sleepover

Exciting things have been happening!! Kamm, Farley, and I moved into our LOVELY new apartment!! I'm super excited for all the fun things to come.

Our apartment is in a prime location, has 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a patio that we hope by the end of today looks better then it did when we moved in. I'm hoping to discover that I have a green thumb and plant some flowers.

Saturday morning, a friend of mine from work helped me load all my big items into his truck and move them into my apartment. The rest of the day was spent driving back and forth from one place or another trying to get all our things into the place. It was a LONG day but a productive one and at the very least at the end of the day, all of us had places to sleep. My mom came over to help me and it was definitely nice having some assistance.

Sunday, I went off on a little furniture finding excursion. For some reason there is absolutely no storage in my bathroom. So, I went out and bought one of those over the toilet storage things as well as some baskets to put my stuff in. Add one bathmat and some over the door hooks and you have yourself a functional bathroom.

My other addition to the bathroom was a towel rack. The directions said to drill a hole in the wall which is fine and dandy if you actually own a drill...I don't. But, I don't come from a family of engineers for nothing. I hammered in the tip of my screwdriver and that worked too!! So of course I had to include a picture of my towel rack as well.

The area in my room needing the most help in my closet. For one, I have a lot of stuff. Two, I used to fit into 3 small closets and now I must fit into one decent sized ones. So there was a lot of reorganization to be done. But I am pretty pleased with the finished product!!

 A high note is that my bed is fully assembled and functional which is good b/c for the last few nights I barely managed to crawl into it due to exhaustion.

In the midst of all this unpacking, I also managed to go grocery shopping. Colleen gave me an egg salad recipe and I tried it. Now, I don't think I am a huge fan of egg salad but I didn't hate this so I took that as a good sign and now I'm posting it for others to try. I especially think if you like egg salad, you'll like this recipe. And the best part is...no mayonnaise!!

3 tablespoons plain yogurt

1.5 teaspoons curry powder

2 pinches of salt

combine those in a bowl

add

5 hard boiled eggs (6-7 because if you only use the whites as Colleen recommends)

toast 1/4 cup of pecans

chop up 1/2-1/4 of an onion

chop up 1/2 of an apple

chop up a bunch of fresh chives

mix it all together and eat your bread of choice

Enjoy!!

This weekend we're going up to Monticello for some lake house fun! I'm sure there will be lots of pictures and good times to share!
