Our New Place

I'm posting this so our family can see where we live.  This first map is from the outside on the back of our apartment.  We are the basement apartment that is straight ahead right next to the perpendicular building.  The window closest to the other building is Alex's room and the other window is our kitchen.

This first picture is our kitchen.   It isn't horrible with it's cupboard space but it is lacking in drawers.  Since we don't have a dishwasher or a built in microwave we'll have to use our limited counter space.  
 The counter right next to the stove is actually our water heater.  At least it gives us some more counter space!
 This is the large pantry in the kitchen.
 The living room with air conditioning but I'm not sure we'll be using it much here in Pocatello.  The carpet isn't brand new but it is still pretty nice with only a few worn spots and some minor stains.
 Living room/hallway down to the bathrooms and bedrooms. 
 Bathroom luckily with lots of space in the shower.  It does have brand new tile on the floor which is nice in a bathroom. I know that the floor is CLEAN!

Here is me walking through the apartment to give you a better idea of how it is set up.

We are currently in the middle of moving.  We will be moving to Pocatello, ID in a week and we are excited to go.  Unfortunately, the place we are moving to doesn't have a dishwasher, a garbage disposal, washer/dryer hookups, a dining room (or really a good place for a table), and is only two bedrooms BUT we are excited to make it work and get on with the last stretch of Mike's schooling.  
 This is what all of our walls look like right now.  Boxes boxes and more boxes!  I'm about ready to make Alex a fort!  We have donated so much stuff already to D.I. but I still feel like we have way too much stuff!  
 The other day Alex and I went on a long walk just so we could leave behind the feeling of boxes about to cave in!
