My new place!

Welcome to my new home! I live near Sugarhouse, which is such a fun place to be! It's so full of life, bikers, runners, access to the freeway, Park City is within 15-20 minutes, and downtown is just a run away. No really, I've ran down there 3 times for my long distance runs. Temple Square and back is just about 15 miles! The house is shaped like a little box and the brick is painted a weird sea green color. Why would someone paint the brick that color? I dislike it, but the inside is so worth it! I live with 3 other roommates, one is Lindsay who lived in Turnberry with me, and the other 2 are from her ward. So with 3 in one ward and me the odd one out, I recently switched wards, so now we're all together!

This is the massive tree in front of the house...personally, I think it needs to be trimmed, but that's just me! You can't walk up the path to the front door without ducking, but I am tall!

These are the lovely vines that drape the fence on the side of the driveway where Lindsay and I hide our keys in the vines when we go on our runs. Don't come looking for them now! :)

The ghetto garage that doesn't lock, with beautiful vines covering most of the door anyways! The side door doesn't shut all the way! Awesome!

This is the view walking out of my room! I put up the vinal lettering "Live Laugh Love" last weekend. I love it! It adds just a bit of flair to the room! Pictures of my new bedspread and queen bed will come once my duvet comes in!

My shelf above my bookcase! Everyone asks who the cute baby is and sadly no he's not related or even a pseudo nephew! He's a patient I had about a year ago! His mom was adorable and printed off 5 or so shots of him and gave me them to keep! I keep the picture out to remind me how much I love my job!
My bookcase is packed, I know, a bunch of old nursing books I swear I'd look at again, but haven't. My favorite dvds, Harry Potter and Twilight series (naturally!), and all my fun games!

This is my new dresser, sorry you can only see the top and the mirror, but I've also hung my magnet frame on the wall by it. It's a fun compilation of everything I've done. Notice the St. George Marathon medal on the right side from 4 years ago, now it's in a week and a half, ahhh!

This is the front room! Sorry I didn't take a picture of the other wall and couch, but imagine! The awesome colorful chair is Lindsay's, and if you asked her why it's famous, she'd laugh and tell ya! I can't remember, but it's known in her family!

The beautiful kitchen, I loved the granite table top and backsplash from the moment we first saw the house. The appliances are all new, love it!

Part B of the kitchen, I love the tower my roommate bought, it is way cute!

And this is the cute table and stools I bought from Hobby Lobby! The stools were a pain to put together, but thanks to my dad, they are all assembled now! Thanks Dad!

Now we are in the downstairs living room! Notice the couch, coffee table, and reclining chair, yup they all came with me. The only things in this room I even paid for is the IKEA coffee table and lamp! I seriously won't feel bad to part with these things some day, but the couch is seriously comfortable, if you haven't sat on it, give it a try someday!

The walls are a little bare, we are still trying to hang up art work and stuff, but I will have my piano stand here soon for the keyboard as well as a piano stool. I can't wait to sit at it and play to my hearts desire! Welcome to my home!
