This last week, I have been back in the lovely valley of Salt Lake. During these last couple of days, Colt and I have been Apartment hunting to find a sweet pad to call our own. We drove around the avenues, calling up all of the numbers we saw on "FOR RENT" signs. One day we found one that we liked alot, it was called the Ruby apartments, and we thought it would be great for us. Yet it was kind of a fixer upper....and that is sometimes a bummer...But that was the best we could find so far and so we thought, "Why not" and filled out an application. We turned it in the next day and we were accepted!
That day, Colt texted one of his friends who was living down the street from the Ruby Apartments, to tell him that we might be moving in down the street. He said that was cool, but him and his wife already moved out of their apartment a couple of days ago! We were bummed that we weren't going to have friends close by. But then Colt had an idea. "Lets just go check out their apartment real fast". So we went and met with the landlord (a very sweet guy, a member too.) and he let us in. And to make this story short. We got the key to it and are moving in on monday!

The whole apartment complex is old, and so all of the fixtures, and light switches and door knockers are all antique looking like this. I love it!
The hallway you walk in when you enter 
The living room! Its so big! Hardwood floors too! Amazing!
The Kitchen. New fridge, and countertops. He (the landlord) even installed a cutting board on the countertop! It has a cool window in it too. I love the natural lighting.
The dining room.
The dining room. 
The hallway that leads to the bathroom and the bedroom.
Newly tiled bathroom. :)
The bedroom. The Apartments are called Chateau Normandy. Its quiet and surrounded by trees, which i love! Evidently there is a 78 year old Russian lady that will be our neighbor below us and she is very sweet and doesn't really speak english. I hope to meet her soon.
Colt and I are very stoked to get this apartment. We feel very blessed. Its cheaper than the Ruby Apartment, and its twice as big! Talk about a deal!
We are very excited to be living there soon! Please come visit someday!
P.S. Thanks Chris and Jilanne (sp?) for keepin the place so dang clean! You rock!
