Update

It's official, we got the apartment! We are going in on Thursday to sign the lease. I am so excited to live in this place and get out of this bad situation with our current landlords. Yay!!

Apartment

We found an apartment! This is actually the first and only place we have looked at but I love it. It is not ours yet because the Realtor is still trying to get a hold of the people who are living there now. When we went over it looked like they just up and left the place, the mail was overflowing out of the box and it was kind of a mess. So hopefully when they finally turn up they will be leaving so we can have it. 

This apartment is the very top level of this house, 2 bedroom and 1 bathroom. The entrance is the door to the right and the apartment is up some stairs. It has a loft like feel and all the ceilings are valeted which I love because it gives the space character and it has a dishwasher and washer and dryer! Two things that I haven't had for 2+ years. It is also only a couple blocks away from UW so we can walk to school! This place is on the other side of town from where we are now so we will be moving wards for the third time since living in Laramie. I will be sad about that because I have really grown to love our ward and our primary class so it will  be hard leaving. This will be our third move since being in Laramie and our seventh in 2 1/2 years of marriage. I am so ready to stop moving and get settled. We will be living here for the next year in a half (If we get it!!) and I would love to call this place home. Cross your fingers!

Upset

I am feeling very upset and anxious right now. Ryan and I are currently looking for another apartment because our lease ends in August and we do NOT want to stick around with our current landlords.

Living in this apartment has been a nightmare at times. For starters maintenance has walked into our apartment without warning two times (that I know of). The first time I was in the shower when two men walked right on in at 8:30am! Do they just figure that people will be up and ready at that time of day without warning? Anyway, luckily Ryan was home so he warned me not to come out of the bathroom naked and he locked the door. The second time Ryan and I were out of town and came home to misplaced things, include my loofah! Who touches another person's loofah, needless to say I threw that sucker away! Both times we got no call, no notice and hardly a knock on the door.

I would also like to add that these people's customer service is horrible. The ladies in the office are totally rude and ignore you. They always sound "put out" by us renters.

The problem is that these people own the majority of rentals properties so it is almost impossible to rent from someone decent. The reason I am so upset right now is because I just finished reading the google reviews for this company and I am devastated. Renters rarely get their deposit back and everyone else has had horrible services like we have. I wish I read the reviews before we rented from them!

To top it all off I have to be out of my place tomorrow morning by 9am so they can show our place. At least they made an effort and left me a message because it is my day off and would have been in bed when they arrived. Besides they sent a notice saying that they would "try" to contact us when doing showings "if it is even possible..." So at least I got a call right??

Sorry for the ranting I just want to remember all this so I can add to the "fantastic" reviews on google and write a letter to the better business bureau.

Have A Laugh

I just came across this site via Pinterest and I just had to share a couple of photos that made me cry... and pee a little.

The page was titled...

50 People You Wish You Knew

Whoever had to sit in that seat

These seriously made my day! To see all 50 super funny pictures go to http://www.buzzfeed.com/daves4/people-you-wish-you-knew-in-real-life you wont regret it!

Baby Projects

No these are not baby projects for me but for my friends who recently had their babies. I took an idea off of Pinterest and made it my own and adding embellishments to onesies is now my new favorite baby project ever! I love this project because onesies are inexpensive and I use scrap fabric from my very large fabric stash. So all the expecting mothers that I know will be getting their own personalized baby onesies too.

My first attempt was with this cute little birdie onesie for my friend Jenaca's sweet baby girl Brindy. I just have to say that Brindy is absolutely adorable! She is so teeny tiny and I just love her already. Since both Brad and Jenaca's families live in Cody I am officially claiming Brindy as my adoptive niece (I still need to inform Jenaca of this plan)...

I pieced this little bird together with scraps, zigzagged the edges and added a button eye. Sorry the pics are so small! I don't know why that happens.

The next little baby that received some onesies is Courtney's baby boy Karsten. Ryan and I just went over today to give them to Courtney and once again he is adorable. He has blonde hair and just slept in my arms the entire time I held him. So cute! (Can you tell... I'm a little baby hungry!) Courtney and her little family will be moving to Arizona and I am sad that we didn't get to know them better while they were here. I learned my lesson, I need to be more friendly and hang out with friends more before they move away!

Here is a little car. The tires have little buttons but its hard to see in this tiny picture.

And I made a monster! Ryan said he looks like Mike on Monsters Inc.

And my favorite, the whale!

With this project I discovered Heat Bond! Why I have never used it before is a mystery.. Why nobody ever told me about it is also a mystery. It is the absolute best invention ever! If I didn't want to sew anything I don't have to! But of course I love adding the little zigzag around the edges to make it look finished and extra cute. I am so obsessed with making these and it is so easy. I plan on making some for my four nieces (one on the way) and one nephew next. Then my own when that time comes.

Bangs

Kristen has inspired me or got me thinking about bangs. Right now my bangs are getting long and I push them to the side. They look exactly like the picture below. Boring and blah.

Should I get a full side bang?

Or front bangs?

Decisions Decisions.

Red

I guess I am like my mom when it comes to red hair. She has always loved red hair and lately so have I. Every time I see someone with natural or awesomely colored red hair I wish I had red hair. But I am not sure I could pull it off.. I really really want red hair but red is a scary color to mess with. Maybe someday I will go for it.

Love natural red hair.

And I love this bright colored hair. This I really don't think I could pull off but I love it.

I guess this is just another case of hair envy.

Fingers crossed... hopefully my future children will come out with red hair! Ryan has some red hair that has gotten darker as he has gotten older so I can only hope that my little kiddos will be carrot tops.
