Our Shoe Box

Welcome to our lovely shoe box apartment where the space is tight but the love makes it all ok (most days) :) I always talk about the layout of this place so I figured I would post some pictures of it! The only rule of the tour is that you cannot judge us or we will be in a fight.

This is what you see when you first walk in the front door of the apartment...yes that is the bedroom just beyond the over stocked bookshelf


This is what you see when you look to the left from the front door



















and then what you see when you are standing in the doorway of the kitchen!
















This is looking into the kitchen from the door way (the living room is behind you) and the majority of our food is in the cabinet…Thank you Alexanders for giving us that ADORABLE sign!






Pay no attention to the clutter beside the cabinet...















like I said if you judge us we might be fighting



Here's where we keep our dishes and such, and this is my food prep space...


and this is the little space that I loooooove in the morning...


some people have a cow creamer...I have a spelnda cow, her name is Elsie.








This is the sink and Jimmy got that light at Ikea when we were in Dallas so we could see when do the dishes.















Right next to the sink is our mini fridge...we can't fit a full sized frozen pizza in the freezer...oh shoe box.












This is where we keep all of the pots and pans above the stove...we got the racks at Ikea and in this month's issue of country living there was a kitchen that had these racks...We are ahead of the country living curve (or that is what I like to tell myself)



Here's the stove with the salt and pepper shakers that I got off Etsy.




And here’s the same picture again with the "S" turned the right way...whoops



Well that concludes the tour of the front half of the shoe box, tomorrow (after I'm done working) I will conclude the tour with what is on the other side of the over packed bookshelf!

p.s. first day at olive branch was pretty good...there will be posts about all that later

So it's on to the next phase...

Molly Pope has always told me that there are crucial steps in life...

1. Graduate College
2. Get married
3. Start a blog
4. Have a baby

I have taken my time with steps 1 and 2 but I figured I should get a move on with 3...not quite at step 4 yet...unless we wanted to use a dresser drawer for a crib due to the fact that we currently live in a shoe box (oh don't worry there are photos to come)

Here are a couple things that have taken place since we have been back from our Montana Adventure honey moon...

I got a job with Midway as the Varsity Cheer coach
I took kids to camp (not just girls, I have two boys...you gotta watch that)
I was in a wedding
I got another job at a bakery breakfast lunch joint called the Olive Branch (that's a new one...I start on Wednesday)
I turned 26
I saw Wicked
I cut my finger whilst cutting tomatoes (ok so that's not that important but my finger hurts)
and last but not least I decided to start this blog.

More to come....
