Our new look

Okay, so we're poor graduate students. We can't afford all the luxurious furnishings, but we got to the point where we had to do something. Our carpet in our apartment is DISGUSTING! It's worn, dirty, and cheap. So, just before our birthdays when Shopko was having a sale, we picked up a rug for our living room. What a difference! Then, with Ben's first bonus we picked up some couch covers. The room feels totally different, and we love it.


Ben's parents gave us the pillows and hall runner for our birthdays, just the perfect finishing touch...

How do you like the cord running down the hall? Yeah, they couldn't hook up the satellite in the conventional way, so this is how it ended up...

Ha! Poor college students - you would never guess. Our house still doesn't look that nice, and we've been done two years. You just have the touch!

Those apartments look a lot bigger than these at cambridge! Lucky you!!! Our 'luxurious' 2 bedroom is already feeling too small and baby hasn't even come yet!
