Hello Family!
Sorry it's been such a long time since my last post. Things have been pretty busy here! But I have really good news! :D We finally got some real furniture!!! Hooray!! We got a free couch from Josh's cousin's husband's brother (and that is REALLY confusing, I know). Then we bought a TV stand thing from D.I for around 30 bucks, and then we spent some of our Target Gift Cards for a really nice coffee table (or Hot Chocolate table). Now we've put the futon mattress on the floor of our bedroom, and we have a really nice dresser in there that Jordyn cunningham gave us. She also gave us a desk for the spare bedroom. So things are actually looking homey!
And, Josh and I have recently realized the disadvantages of living in an apartment complex. Sarah Schwarz is in town right now, and so she came and visited our apartment with her cousin. As everyone knows, Sarah and I are usually pretty loud when we are together. Me, Josh, Sarah, and her cousin all decided to play a card game when they came over around midnight (I didn't get off of work until 11:45) and eventually, voiced escalated, and laughter overcame us. Suddenly we heard a loud banging coming from the floor of our apartment, and we realized that the couple below was signaling us to shut up. Now it's really awkward whenever we see them! But, we are still happy to be here!!!
I have finally started school, and it isn't so bad right now. It is challenging having to work and do homework, especially since I work so late, and I miss all of the time I used to have to spend with Josh, Camilla, David, Jordyn, and all the rest of Josh's family in the Provo area. But I know that eventually, things won't be so busy and we'll have more time! I love you all and miss you! I should be studying right now. :D
Love,
Carissa
