moving on

 Some of you may have hear our woes of the "first apartment." We have been married almost 6 months (CRAZY!) and we lived in a 2 bedroom apartment. We loved it however...the neighbors, maintenance, and overall vibe was not as friendly as we are.
We have stories upon stories that we can share (and probably will) with you about what it was like living on Willis Avenue. Our lease was coming to an end and our pastor bought a two-family gorgeous home. We decided it was time to move and so we are renting out 1/2 of the house with our good friend (and one of our groomsmen) Steve who also just moved to Syracuse. It was a bit of a rough move with me working full time and Ian working mostly weekends. To make it even more interesting it was Memorial Day weekend and Syracuse had record high temperatures. I also experienced some health problems so we were pretty stressed by the time we had to move. Needless to say we weren't the best packers. We threw everything into our new place and spent the night at our good friends new house (they moved the same weekend!). We are now in the house and we love it! For now here are some photos of the beginning. I'll update soon with the progress.

On a side note tomorrow is Ian's 23rd birthday (cough baby cough). It is crazy to me that 1 year ago we got engaged on his birthday! It was/still is one of the best days I've ever had in my life. I can't wait to celebrate him and us tomorrow (and every day...cheesy, gosh sorry about this!).
dining room...filled with everything we own
