Moving JOYS

    

           So Clayton and I just moved into our apartment here in Orem. It took a little while to find, but we are glad to be here and have a place for just us again. Schedules have been CRAZY busy with work, school, moving, and organizing. Such is life right. CRAZYNESS! Clayton won the battle of the big screen so we now have a T.V. in the spot of my entertainment center. I have to say that I have probably missed out on the excitement of T.V. shows my whole life, and not that I will ever admit it to my husband but the T.V. has been pretty nice to have- even if it does take up our whole living room. Wait, I have to tell about this T.V. When we were living at Raintree apartments he found this free T.V. on KSL. So he went and got it. I always had "just dance" parties down at his apartment because it made the game super awesome! So we ended up getting married and therefore I was supposed to take the huge thing with us for our living room. Well I won the battle and we had a cute entertainment center with pictures, T.V., a place for the DVD's and decoration. Haha, now our living room is THE T.V. THE END.  I secretly kind of love it. It has made entertainment in our home so much better.  

          So anyways, we were able to paint the apartment which started out being way fun to pick the colors, try different swatches, and start painting. We only had time at night around 9pm to 1am so it took a while but was very fun. We painted our living room a cute soft blue color which we loved. Then we painted the entire kitchen rainbow orange thinking it was a peach like the swatch. We just knew it would lighten up and it dried.We came back the next morning and were shocked to see that it truly was bright, deep rainbow orange. I made fun of the color for a while and then re-painted the kitchen the actual peach color we were aiming for that night. By that point, we were SUPER DONE with painting until 1 AM all week. We now have everything all moved in and for the most part set up. That's a lie, I am not unpacking half our stuff. We will see how long we end up staying in one spot before I think about unpacking things we don’t need. Our spare room will stay packed up for as long as we can get away with it. So there is the 411 on the Byingtons.

My parents leave for their mission here in just 12 days. I can't believe how time has flown. Ready or not, my parents are leaving the country for 18 months.

So we will work on our excitement level around here. We are happy with work and school treating us well. No complaints. I have loved being back here hanging out with Clay's parents again.

So glad we have them!
