Home Sweet Home

One of my favorite memories of our first year of marriage was our first apartment. We got really lucky when we found it. It was in downtown Provo. During the school year it was an all girls apartment but, during the summer the owners would rent out the empty rooms to married couples. One of the greatest things about it, was how affordable it was. But as with most things that cheap, it of course came with it's little quirks!



Our first apartment!




I loved all the cupboard space it had! Our kitchen now doesn't have any space. We have to keep all our appliances in the spare bedroom!



We didn't have a dish washer in that apartment. Strangely enough we did the dishes more often when we didn't have one then now when we do!


This is Cameron cleaning the front room on the day we were moving out. The couches had their own little quirks to them. They had big holes in the back where the springs had popped out. Every time we sat down the springs would scratch the paint off the wall behind the couch. Despite the springs pointing out the back, those couches were pretty comfortable!



Oh, the wonderful bathroom! We had absolutely no water pressure. It was always a treat when we got to shower at either of our parent's houses! Cameron and I also decided that the toilet was a children's toilet. It was so low that every time you sat down, it felt like you were eating your knees! At least the shower head was taller than Cameron. Right now our shower head goes to my nose! Poor Cameron!




This was the spare bedroom. We had to keep the beds in it, so we just leaned them up against the wall to give us more floor space.

Have you also noticed the different colored carpet? Green and red! It's Christmas all year round!

But of all the quirks in the apartment, this was my favorite one...





We like to say that we had a king size bed the first 4 months we were married. But since we were living in an all girls apartment complex they only had twin beds. So, our "king size bed" was just 2 twins pushed together!
