As you may recall, I had been doing our laundry while we were in the hotel in the sink and hanging it to dry. I could only do so much but that was ok, as I washed what we needed to get us through. Needless to say we had a decent amount of laundry to do when we moved into our flat. We have a front loading machine that is both a washer and a drier. Excited to be able to have all clean cloths, we almost immediately started doing laundry. Our first load, was to say the least, a mess. First it took forever, and second, it didn't drain. You know in all those movies or tv shows where they show a person who moved to a foreign land and somehow a fight breaks between them and a machine they don't understand? That was us, sitting in front of the washer wondering what on earth we were doing wrong. So, we called the landlord who came to look at it,who ended up having to call a repairman, and we had to wait another week to wash clothes. Thankfully the movers brought the rest of our clothes so we had some to sustain us through the week but i had horrible memories as I started sorting through the clothes to stick in bags and laundry baskets to wait for the washer to be fixed. Once upon a time, when we were about 20, we did our laundry probably every 2 weeks when the pile got so bad, it created a small mountain that we had to hike over to get to the bedroom. Michael would sit at the pile and throw cloths at me while calling a color while I caught them and put them in the correct pile, then we started a nonstop 2 day laundry marathon. I'm so glad we finally grew up, but sure makes for fun memories. LOL. I have been doing 3 loads a day (because thats how slow the washer/drier is thats all I can pump out) and finally, today, I am almost done. I have three loads left. One of red sweatshirts, one bedsheets and one of towels. WHOO HOO!!!
Ok, finally some pictures of what our place looks like so far... This weekend we are going to start hanging stuff on the walls.
We will start from the outside, This is our Balcony.
the closest door leads to the living room area and the far door leads to the bedroom

Living Room Area - Neither of us can stand the ugly ugly curtain things. They are just decoration, not even real curtains. thats as far as they go, but the colors, just dont work for us. We are in the Market for new ones. We also are hoping to do that area in black and brown but for now, it is decked out with Texas Tech because we have so much red/black stuff. Since I typed this a couple hours ago, Michael has already taken down the ugly curtains! YEA!
Our lovely TV :)

you can see the kitchen through the doorway. There is a sliding door there that you can shut off the kitchen.

But we call it "The Attic" because, well it reminds of us of an attic.

THE END! I must also say I'm sorry to my mom and Sharon for telling them about 5 times today that I would have these pictures online in a few minutes, which turned out to be several hours! sorry :( ... :)
I really wanna get one of our two doors open to get out there and measure that pile of snow on that table.
