Tale of Two Apartments

          On May 24th, (I day after we returned from Kansas) we moved.  Following our spirit guides we found a new path illuminated before us, a path that took far from the familiar streets, sights, and sounds of Colorado Springs and took us to Denver.  In so doing, we had to leave the town that we both grew up in and we had to leave the place that we first called home together--our apartment.  We have since moved to a new apartment in Denver Proper so that Danielle can attend the University of Denver.  But to commemorate our time in C. Springs lets have a look back at our empty first home.  

  These first two pictures are where we spent most of our time watching movies, eating, playing computer, doing puzzles, homework (often? Well, it did happen), worked out, read, built forts...you know, the regular stuff. 

This third picture is, of course, the aforementioned Blanket fort.  This is an aerial view.

Most of you, I assume, will recognize these modern household fixtures as a common everyday loo.  By the way, I cleaned the sink right before we moved out and I was quite proud of it considering the state it was in.  During our tenure here our shower rod punch a hole in our ceiling, the caulking from our tub continuously separated itself from the wall, and the surface of the tub was flaking off like peel-ly, sunburned skin.  Oh, fond memories.

This is got to be the smallest kitchen ever (and by "ever" I mean, the smallest kitchen in a residence that I've ever lived in).  It was the worst.  But Danielle did make some amazing food here.  Cheeses balls, pies, mints, hamburger helper anyone?

Hello Denver!  And a look to the future of our current apartment.

This is our new kitchen.  This picture may be deceiving, its much bigger than our last kitchen.  Also, good things are made here too.  Apple brie salad, chicken burritos, roast and mashed potatoes, kraft dinner anyone? (See what I did there?  That was the same witty-list-joke-thing that I used for the last kitchen description *thumbs up*) 

These next pictures show our new loo (rhyming words is fun).  I added more pictures of it to show that it's bigger than our last one.  This bathroom comes with everything you see here-sink, toilet, linen closet, tub/shower, and even a full sized washer and dryer (my wife not included).

Lastly we come to our living room.  Unlike the rest of our place, this room is smaller than our last living room but by placing our entertainment center in front of our fireplace we were able to squeeze everything in.  But I must say when were first got her (the apt.) and our whole place was filled with boxes, I wasn't sure everything would fit into this place.  It was like a box jungle in here--a small, localized, box jungle but without the creatures that are indigenous to box jungle, of course. 

I hope you've enjoyed these virtual tours through both of our apartment.  If you're viewing this because you are looking for a place to live, I'm sorry to inform you that both of these apartment are all ready rented out but if you're interested in moving into our current apartment complex please tell the office people that we referred you and we'd be happy to split the $150 referral money with you...70/30.
