Our First Apartment!


I am so glad I found these pics!!
So this is where it all began....
Shaun and I got married in August 2007,
we rented this little
garden level gem for $350/month.

The carpet in the kitchen was probably 
45 years old, and I would have
trusted my bare butt cheeks to a Dairy Queen toilet seat
before I would have walked on that greasy
disease-infested carpet BAREFOOT
(We kept our flip flops close by at all times).

The back splash, counters, fridge, oven and carpet all 
coordinated in color!

the walls were a horrible dingy gray
color that made the apt 
very dark and sad feeling...
so we bought some cheap paint and
fixed that.

The bathroom was similar to
a Motel 6, where there is no door
between the living space and 
the vanity/sink.

And I am not 100% sure, but
I think the upstairs neighbor
sold drugs....I have never seen somebody
have over so many "friends"
that stayed for 30 seconds or less.

I had 6 months left of college and Shaun 
had just started college 
(no, I was not a cradle robber, he just started later than some)..
and we both had PT jobs that paid
Idaho wages,
So it was this or....use a credit card.
We chose this, and it worked just fine!

Luckily nobody got any diseases while living there!

Mello Yellow kitchen with CARPET...yay
That is one good looking guy...and paint job!

Nice looking tan from the honey moon!
