Update on Our Familie's Move

We thought we would get the keys to our new apartment on Friday and be moving in on Saturday, but there was some confusion with Christians work papers that were filled out by his boss, so it took a little bit longer and we didn't get to sign the lease on Friday and move in. The original plan didn't work out, so now were on plan b, sign the lease on Wednesday, move in on the following weekend. Hopefully it doesn't take any longer than that, because I don't think I can wait any longer!! Here's a few more pictures of the Broadway Building, inside the lobby, by the elevator, in the parking lot, and in the stair well.

This is the lobby, when you walk in the front doors. I love these chairs, you could put them in a row, like a couch, or two next to each other with a coffee table in the middle, then the other two on the opposite side of the coffee table. There are so many ways you could set them up! I think we might look at Ikea, and see if we can't find some cheap ones for our living room. This is such a great view, it was taken in the stair well, and its very scary to look over the side, and see just how far down it is to the ground!

This is the same area as the last picture, just a different angle. I love how much natural light this building has in it. It makes me happy!

This is the elevator, and this sucks because there is no service elevator that you can use to take furniture up to the top floors, so you'd have to lug it up the stairs, or try to cram it in the elevator. But I guess there's a way, because people live in the building, or maybe they just don't have any furniture.

This is another picture taken in the lobby, when you come in the front doors, I love the fireplace, and the decorations, It's definitely my style, and it looks very comfy and welcoming! I love love love this picture! I love the colors, the style, and the little dog laying on her shoulder. I wonder who the artist is? I would like to have some art made by this artist! I really like this art too, I've never seen a painting like this before, and I don't even know how to explain what they've done? I think it's like, tiles, put together, to make a picture, but I wonder if they painted it before or after they put it together?

Here's another picture of their awesome chairs! I also like the way the floors done. It's very similar to the floors at the Weather Vain Coffee House in Oregon City, that I use to work at.

This is the woman at the door when you walk in, she was very embarrassed, and it was hard to get her to stop hiding when I'd try to take a picture of her. I like the brick that makes up the outside of her desk, and wall behind her.

This is a picture of just a little part of the parking lot, right behind the Broadway Building. Also, in the picture is my Mommy!! Oh, and Dad and Christian are back there in the back ground and so is Dylan, but shes hiding behind mom in her stroller (Christians pushing her).

We're Moving Out!!!

Yay!!! We got the answer today, we were accepted!!! I am so excited! Christian and I went down to Salem on Friday to check out some aapartments we saw on the internet. They were awesome! Better than I had imagined, and very cheap on rent. They are brand new, built in January this year, and the whole building is beautiful! If these apartments were built in a different area, they could probebly charge atleast $800.00 for rent. But thank goodness there not, because we need them in Salem! Christian's boss had made him a nice offer about a month ago, if we'd move to Salem, He'd give him a $3.00/hr raise and $1,000.00 bonus to get into an apartment! We were looking to move out soon, so it worked out nicely for us. Christian and I made an appointment for friday to go look at them and we had his parents come with us. I think we were all impressed at how nice they are! We filled out applications and they told us they would call us wednesday and let us know if we were excepted. The weekend was very hard to wait thru since Christian and I had never applied for an apartment, and we wanted this apartment so bad! I made an appointment for monday to take my parents to see them, and Christian met us there, (he was at work). I took pictures for my blog, and then we went to give them the key back, I walked in and a lady I had never seen before said the manager told her to tell us we were excepted!! I couldnt believe my ears! We are so happy, and so ready to take the next step in our relationship, and family, so heres the pictures!
