First Place

I would say that one of the most exciting things about being married is getting a place together. Now I have seen a few of the places that my friends and family members had when they first got married, and have even heard the stories from the grandparents about their first place and I have to say that ours is pretty good for the price. It is barely enough room for all we have, but it will allow us to save for a house while we decide where we will end up over the next year.

It is a one bedroom, one bathroom basement apartment in Taylorsville, Utah about 4900 South and 1400 West. We consider ourselves still on the east side because we are east of Redwood Road, but we are pretty much on the border. The kitchen and living room are all connected so it seems like a big space. The bedroom is somewhat large, and the bathroom is a good size. The best part about it is it has a laundry room with a washer and dryer. I think it makes it all worth it. Over the first few weeks of moving in we decided to splurge a little and make at least one room look good. We chose the living room since it is the one everyone will see the most.

Michelle and I have become good at spending money, but I think it is worth it. We were going to hold off on buying new couches, but we couldn't wait. Actually Michelle was the one that wanted to wait, but she gave in. We haven't got the new couches or coffee table yet, but we hope in two weeks they will be here. We are still making a few adjustments, but I think it is coming along quite nicely. As soon as everything is put in its place I will post more pictures.
