We are all moved in! Woot! We still have a few things left to do, but most everything is unpacked. In the next couple of weeks, we should get our dining room table. We also are going to look at washers and dryers this week since we have wedding present money that is specifically for a set. :) This apartment is bigger and quieter than our last one, so we are loving it! It is also in the corner, so it is pretty private. We have a lot of trees that shade it, too, so it is pretty dark even with the windows open.
Today we got the electricity turned on and went to Comcast to get internet. After a phone call, I got the usual $60/mo rate reduced to $20/mo :) We also stopped by the library to see their selection of DVDs. We will be getting a library card as soon as we can prove we live here (don't have a copy of the lease yet.) Then we went to Michaels to try to find something to hang in our bedroom. The walls were too naked. We went to the one here in Ridgeland and bought paper, but they didn't have the frames we wanted. So we went to Hobby Lobby in Flowood, but no luck there either. Finally, we went to Michael's in Flowood and found some suitable frames. We also returned a couple of things to Target, JC Penney, and Wal-mart. We opened up a joint savings account today, too.
When we came home for lunch we noticed our door was not shut all the way. Our hearts skipped a few beats because we KNEW we locked it. John opened the door and said, "Hello?" The maintanence man responded. Phew! We told the office our dishwasher was leaking, but they didn't say when they would fix it, so it was a little scary. I told the maintanence man to shut the door or leave a note on the door next time!
I will try to post pictures once we get things looking presentable. We have a lot of stuff, so it's hard to find a spot for everything.
This weekend we are planning on going shopping with some of our store credit. MS is having a tax free weekend on clothing :) Also, got to get a kroger card so I can start couponing. I have started reading Southern Savers everyday. Hope it pays off!
