Here's what our living room was like BEFORE furniture...

And here is what it is like NOW!! Hooray!

This is our current bookshelf :D

Our very messy office desk with another free couch

My attempts to decorate (those are Olive Garden coasters that Josh stole :)

Our "comfortable" futon mattress bed! :D

This is our lovely kitchen.

Furniture!!!

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

Provo!

Hello everyone, Welcome to Josh and Carissa's new blog! We are here at our new apartment in Provo, Utah enjoying life before school starts. I (Carissa) have my school schedule all ready for BYU, and Josh is getting all of his online classes in order, so we are super excited. Our apartment is nice and really close to campus. We are a little scarce on furniture, but we have a comfy futon to sleep on and plenty of games and food. All of our neighbors are really kind and helpful, and everyone in the ward is way nice. Sorry, I don't know how to work this blog thing, so this probably sounds really boring! Sorry guys. I would let Josh write it, but he would only put inappropriate things on here....so that's out of the question. :D Well, that's basically all I have to say...once I get the hang of this thing I'll write more and post pictures. We love you all, and hope that everything is going great in Oregon, California, or anywhere else everyone is!
