We Moved!!

June 16th ended up being our moving date. We packed our two U-boxes and our car full to the brim. We left two bikes locked up (we knew we could get them later since we had plans for returning to OKC already) and some cleaning supplies in the apartment.

Before pulling out of Stillwater, we made a quick stop to say goodbye to our good friends Gargeyi and Sagar. It was sad saying goodbye. We hope our paths cross again someday. I'm sure we'll see them sometime. Allie absolutely loves Gargeyi, so don't be surprised by the picture below. Both girls were tired and needing naps at this time. It was actually approaching dinner time. We left later than planned.

It's just about a three-hour or less drive to Springdale from Stillwater. But since we left late, it was getting dark when we arrived. We were exhausted, too, but since the driver's window wouldn't roll up (it stopped working earlier that day), we had to bring everything inside the apartment. Jared's company is paying for us to be in a fully furnished apartment (an "executive suite") for up to 4 months while we look for a house to buy. Before too much of our own stuff was brought in, I took some pictures of our place. It is pretty nice and is a MAJOR upgrade from our last apartment.

The Living Room

The Kitchen and Dining Room

The master bedroom, which we actually use for the girls.

The walk-in closet, which has become Rachel's room for sleeping.

She sleeps better when it is darker, and the closet doesn't

have any windows, though we do leave the door cracked.

The second bedroom, which is our bedroom

The had a little welcoming gift for us. So sweet!

Our laundry closet - with shelves!

A pantry!

The bathrooms are pretty standard (there are 2)

I actually thought it was funny how quickly Rachel found the

toilet paper to tear up. 

We have been really enjoying our apartment. I've especially loved not getting bitten by bugs every night. It's fantastic! We're so grateful for Rockline paying for us to be in these apartments. There is a little playground across the parking lot from us, and there is also a pool that we have frequented.

Jared has also been enjoying his job, which is wonderful! I'm so happy for him to be in a job he enjoys and working for a company that treats him well.
