| The Lanai |
This may not be as long as the others because I just wanted to add more pictures of the apartment. We have a huge balcony. Here they call balconies, lanais, which makes me think of "The Golden Girls" because they were always going out to their lanai. Otherwise, I have never heard lanai anywhere else. The kitchen in our apartment does not have new appliances by any means, in fact I am pretty sure they are OLD appliances. The stove is completely manual and doesn't even let me know when it is heated. I am not sure I have seen a stove like that in A LONG TIME! I had a dishwasher similar to the one we have now in college TEN years ago. Hey, all the appliances work though, although the dishwasher maybe not so much since it leaves nasty, hazy water stains on my dishes. I have actually stopped using it much, but we don't have as many dishes to wash here anyway. The countertops in the kitchen are made out of granite though, and the faucet on the sink is new. The refrigerator is great too!
Our master bath is really cool. It is made completely out of marble (except for the cabinets) The walls are marble, the counters are marble, and the floor is marble. There is a stand-up shower and a really big jacuzzi tub in this bathroom. Really cool!
Gabe has his room decorated with Toy Story and Elyssa has Tinker Bell. They don't have too many decorations actually, but I did hang some school stuff on their walls. We have started working with them this week getting back into the school mode. They are already doing so well!
Justin comes home in the morning at 5:00, luckily we don't have to wake up that early this Sunday to pick him up (we did last Sunday), but we haven't had a car today. We didn't need it anyway since we spent the day either at the pool or playing in the apartment. Anyway, Justin has two weeks off starting tomorrow and I think we are going to go to Tokyo! I am really excited about it. They have Disney there, so we may go! At any rate there are tons of fun things to do there, so it will be a blast. I will of course blog that adventure.
So much for this not being as long as the others. It may be my longest one yet, but this is so much fun!!
Adios
Love your new blog, thanks for sharing it! Your apartment looks really spacious & nice! It's funny because we watch the show House Hunters & they are always talking about "lanais" on there!
ReplyDeleteHave a great trip to Tokyo, how cool!
I look forward to keeping up with all of your adventures on here!
Blessings!
Hey Melanie! The apartment looks great! I hope I'll be able to visit while you're there! How fun that you can take trips to Tokyo and places you would have never gone living on the east coast! I can't wait to see pictures and hear more about it!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy that you are finally settling in! I am sure that you all are very excited about having Justin with you for the next two weeks too. I wish I was going to Tokyo, I know it will be an experience to remember! Sandy McKee says hello and she misses you. I will tell our Bible study about your blog once we start meeting on Sept. 14th. Miss you and hope to see you guys soon again.
