Love the Furnished Apartments...

So we made the move to Fayetteville, AR on Sunday July 4. I woke up early on Sunday morning, not really being able to sleep anyway, and started packing, hadn't really packed anything on Saturday. I packed up everything into 3 of the 4 boxes I brought out, and was able to stuff all of our clothes into 1 suitcase instead of the two we brought out. I don't think we got rid of stuff while we were here, but maybe I'm just super awesome at packing! While I was packing Jeff was running the stuff out to the moving van, I could have easily fit everything into the car, but Travis was riding with us, and I had nothing to prove, I just wanted to drive comfortably anyway.
By the time we got in the car ready to go, I fell asleep right away- I guess I had really worn myself out. The drive was about 3 hrs north of Little Rock.

Once we arrived we were unsure about what we were to do next, how we were able to obtain a residence... we spotted Gordon Richards on his balcony and waved him down. I guess other couples/families had come to stake out there spot and fight to the battle for it, I could care less, "just get me a place to rest my head" I thought.
We picked the first building on the left right when you drive in the complex, next to the main office, club house, and pool. Third floor, with an elevator, next to Colby Peterson, Brooks Christiansen, and Gordon Richards... not bad, not bad at all. :)

The apartments inside all look the same, same layout, same decor, all furnished! We haven't even unpacked because it is basically all here anyway.

The apartments include: spacious 1 & 2 bedroom floorplans
golf course views available
private balconies (select units)
9 foot or 11 foot vaulted ceilings
full-size washer/dryer
frost-free refrigerator w/icemaker
full-size kitchen appliances
dishwasher
disposal
microwave
central heat & air
energy efficient construction for lower utilities
carpeted bedroom & living areas
ceiling fans

We've unpacked our clothes and our food, but we'll save the rest to unpacking when we need it. Fine by me, less work for when we have to move again- whether to Texarkana or back home to Logan, UT.

The best part about our apartment is the smell! no more cigarette smoke-filled apartment, no more anxiety attack when walking into the apt., no more constant headaches, and no more dizziness! Hoorraaayyy!!! :)

A few bad things about Fayetteville, there isn't much to do here but swim and go to the botanical gardens, and the worst thing so far, is that the boys aren't doing so well in the office, I think yesterday they had a total of 5 sells or something.... partly due to the fact that their area right now is all renters or people who fail the requirements.

Jeff Strong has been talking about the boys moving up to Fort Smith, which is an hour south of here. Hopefully that will be good, because we definitely need the money and Jeff, my husband, needs the motivation.

I'm thinking of starting a blog. A real one. One that makes money. I'm still a stay-at-home mom, but instead of one kid I have 4 now...
