New apartment w/ pics!

Lee and I are all moved in to our apartment! 

wooo! 

let me just say... we LOVE it! 

its perfect. i honestly love everything about it... its so fresh and new.

 the windows are so big so its always so bright and happy in here! 

basically we live in a rather large community, its really great.

 we get full access to a really large pool, tennis courts, volleyball courts (i think), and even laundry and dryers! 

we live on the second floor... but have a private door. 

our bedroom is a great size.. and has a WALK IN closet... never had one of those before! 

our bathroom is semi-small but is still cute. 

the kitchen is my FAVORITE part... i LOVE the little bar thing/ open floor plan... i love feeling like i'm not trapped away in some back room while i cook, and also i can talk to lee while he's in the living room.

there's a little hard-wooded area for a table right off of the kitchen.

the living room is rather large and very sunny!

we also get an awesome little screened in lanai/ deck thing- which i really like! its perfect for chairs and a little table- i'd love to eat out there!

here's some pictures of our perfect little place:

thats all for now! were really excited to get some furniture for this place & to make it our own! 

as of late, i've been loving my kitchen & cooking a lot! 

post to come soon of what i've been making! 

hope everyone had a great easter! 

i know lee and i did! :)

so thankful to be moving into a awesome apartment in a cute little beach town!

Update from the crazies!

I'm back again! 

who knows for how long... but we'll see ;) 

well, for starters.... we have LEFT clearwater/ tampa area

you all probably think were crazies.... oh wait, we are!

we drove 2 1/2 hours FURTHER south {yahoo!} to the beautiful city of NAPLES 

we L O V E it here. 

its so much different then the tampa area... 

& its definitely more suitable for our future plans

were so excited to be here! 

for those of you that don't know, we came to Naples to sort of follow the company that we used to work for in erie, they moved here a few months ago and we are eagerly waiting to start working for them locally-

 when they gets things set up and ready for us to work

but for the time being, lee and i landed ourselves {ok, we didn't do it... it was GOD} jobs at a small non-profit organization- 

basically were tele-marketers... you know the people that you all love so much ;) 

ha.. i think its pretty funny were doing this, but hey we make money, get to be TOGETHER while we work, & there's no uniform! 

wahoo! 

we just started on monday... and its been going well. 

in all of our competitiveness, lee and i are LOVING this. we've started a new thing where we see who can get the first call of the night and who can get the most calls to donate, and so on. 

and whoever wins gets a prize. its really pretty fun. 

unfortunately, i must report that lee kicked my butt last night... 

and he won the back massage :( 

stinker!

i'll beat him today! 

anyways, apartment wise, its been crazy. 

we thought we had the perfect one picked out but God saved us in the nick of time

were SO thankful we saw the things we did RIGHT before our purchase. 

He cares for us so much! 

I'm so excited to announce that it looks like we have another great one picked out, and we will be finding out SOON if we get it or not. 

Hopefully we can be all moved in before Easter! :) 

Anyways this week I've learned, God really actually KNOWS me. 

I mean, he gave lee and i both a job, but not just that, He gave us a job TOGETHER. 

I guess He knows just how inseparable we really are :) 

well, if i don't get on before- 

happy easter everyone! 

be blessed!

crazy week!

well, hello people! 

i've missed the blog world! 

things have been so busy over here, but i think things may be finally slowing down. 

maybe.

we are finally here in clearwater after a nice visit in erie and a warm sunny mini-vacay in mexico beach, fl.
( thanks to my aunt and uncle for lending us their adorable beach house!) 

so currently, we are checking out and calling and visiting and e-mailing tons of people about apartments and on top of that- setting up job interviews. 

transition is always a little stressful but we are doing good nonetheless. 

this is both of our first times being in clearwater, so its a fun little adventure.

clearwater beach area is so so pretty... we haven't yet gotten to actually go on the beach but the drive by is amazing. 

sorry for the long blog "pause", 

hopefully i will be posting more often now that things are getting settled...

hope you all had a happy Monday! 

& enjoy the sun- i hear its even come to the north! :)
