Our very very very old apartment

These are some of the funny things that you should know about our house
  • it was most definitely an attic converted to our house
  • the circuit only takes 15 amps, our microwave is 12 amps, this means when we want to use the microwave it would be wise to unplug most everything else or else we'll blow a circuit (we've done this twice now:)
  • the box spring to a queen mattress doesn't fit up the stairs in our house so we sleep on our bed directly on the floor
  • the ceilings are very very short- casey has to duck his head to get into the bathroom
  • our freezer is literally an icebox
  • our oven is heated by a fire that heats it from below
  • when you open our front door, it turns straight into stairs, literally, there's no landing until the top, so when we say goodbye to people we awkwardly watch them walk down the stairs while we stay at the top bc it'd be oober awkward if we squeezed with them and walked down the stairs
  • our side room isn't insulated so it's freezing-we keep that door closed at all times
  • we can hear a lot of what the people say below us
  • there's old wallpaper, cracked parts of the ceiling, and a green carpet that doesn't match at all
  • our stove top is ultra finicky- it's an old gas one so it's either super duper hot and all the way high, or when i try to turn it down, it turns off...in other words, we're getting used to slightly burnt stuff :)
other than these small problems we love love love our little apartment,
it's perfect for us!
come visit when you'd like!

10 reasons why it's easier to go to the temple than to BYU

10. The temple won't make you go home and shave
9. You only get interviewed once every other year
8. Always enough parking
7. Finished construction 100 years ago
6. Temple workers won't get in trouble is everyone passes
5. Temple wants you to come back year after year after year
4. Temple costs the same after 4 years; always 10%
3. The final exam in the temple isn't for another 1000 years
2. The temple doesn't care where you live

And the Number One Reason why it's easier to go to the temple than BYU:

1. If you can't go for your self, someone else will do the work for you :)
