Home Sweet Home!

The whole time Kevin and I have been married we, of course, haven't had much money (as many couples just starting out don’t) We have had to find really cheap apartments and thanks to family and friends, we have been able to find places! It was so nice that we didn't spend so much to live, we were able to save a lot. but after living in two very run down apartments, (one that we were subletting and had to deal with ALL the stuff  the people  left –also the heater didn’t work well, then living in a basement that was from the 70's-also with all the older lady's stuff.) we decided that we needed to buck up and get a nicer, more expensive apartment. We knew exactly where we wanted to live and thankfully were able to get in!

There are SO many people that helped us! We didn’t have any furniture at all because we had always lived in places that had furniture already there. Kevin and I went to Wisconsin the end of July. We got a call from Kevin’s Dad the day we got there asking us what we needed (which was everything) He was able to find us three nice dressers and a bed with a bed frame. Nathan and Heather got us Tons of super nice baby stuff and a dining room table with chairs, Mom gave us her couches that look Band new, P.J. and Steph gave us their Washer and dryer and a coffee table. Holy mama. Our house was pretty much completely furnished when we got home, and on top of all of that, they All helped us move in. Wow. Anyways, Thank you guys SO much, you have no idea how much you all helped us! We totally owe each of you.
