We moved into our new townhouse in Tacoma on October 31st in the evening (wasn't the smartest choice to do it on Halloween....maybe we'll remember that next time...). I took some pictures of the inside Sunday night (basically the day after we moved in). They're not the best, but they're the best I have as of now!
We signed our lease late Friday night after a very stressful family emergency (everything is okay now), so actually moving our stuff on Saturday was a piece of cake! When I think I'm having a stressful day, I remember that lovely Friday..chances are, it's not worse than that day! Anyways, my wonderful parents and Keith helped us move on Saturday. We had a Uhaul and got everything out of Bart's house and our storage unit within 3 or 4 hours...then we unloaded it. Fun fun. I was/am very thankful for Keith helping us out. He gladly took anything that was heavy...awesome hired help! :)
We amazingly had most of everything unpacked by Sunday. A few boxes here and there. Now, a week later, we're almost 99% unpacked. Still have those pesty boxes full of junk that we're trying to figure out where to put.
On with the photos...
When you walk in, the stairs are in front of you and off to the right is the kitchen, dinning room, laundry and living rooms. Here is the messy kitchen. Came to find out that we don't have a pantry. The unit that they showed us sure did....but what're you gonna do. It took some figuring out, but I think I have the kitchen how I like it....for now...
The view from the front door. All that mess is no longer there. You can now see straight into the living room without having to look through boxes.
The
laundry closet. It's in the dining room area. I thought it'd be loud when watching
TV, but they're pretty quiet.
The corner with all the photos. Gus is planning on moving some of that around because it's too cluttered for him with how it is. Those doors off to the left of the pic is the laundry room.
The super messy couch. The "backyard" is out past those blinds. I couldn't take a pic of it because it was 10pm when I took these. There's a storage closet outside, a big concrete slab (maybe 8x5?) with room around it to plant flowers and whatnot. It's all fenced in with a nice fence that's about 6' high.
Going upstairs...
Looking downstairs...
The little area separating Luc's room from ours.
The bathroom (it was bath-time too)
Gus was trying to get Lucas to put his nose up to his. Lucas thought Gus was crazy! haha
Luc's room. We've decorated it nicer since this. It was my goal to get his room looking as close to normal as I could get it the first night. He was having a bit of a hard time with the move, but once he got that bed in there, he was happy! He just got that bed from the Great Grandparents at the ocean. He loves it!
A better look at his pennants. We have mini ones for all the football teams that we have to get up also. Already have the glow-in-the-dark stars and planets up...though we do need to get more. He loves having those to look at...and it's a cheap night-light!! :)
Luc's closet. You can't tell, but it's huge! We all have walk-in closets. His is big enough to put a crib in (...already pointed that out to Gus!! haha)....
Our super super messy room. Sadly, it still looks about the same, except for the computer that would be right off to the right where that blue blanket is (why would someone put a cable outlet there!?). Our room is pretty large. We definitely have enough room for a crib or two where all those boxes are!! haha
Our closet. Nothing exciting.
Well that's it for pictures for now. I'll take some better ones one of these days. Oh, and we do have a non-attached garage in front of the row of townhouses, and one small parking spot off to the side of the garages...Gus' truck is waaaaaaaay too big for the garage (my tiny car just barely fits!) and is too big for the parking spot, so he gets the street. SO...we have parking for anyone who comes to visit!
HINT HINT!
