Welcome to our new home

Hello family and friends! We moved! And we dearly missed all of your hands and muscles and help in the process! It was a rough two days!
We are still trying to unpack and find homes for everything so I don't have any pictures of it decorated but I thought you might like a pictorial tour of the layout at least. I promise I will post pictures with our stuff and also a picture of the building itself soon.
The building is wonderfully located about a 15 minute car ride to work for me and a 10 minute bike ride to Stanford for Brian. We love Menlo Park too. It has everything we could ever want, most of it in walking distance! We are apartment 1 of a 7 apartment complex but we have the best spot! We are over the garage with no one above us or beside us. There are 2 more apartments about our size. Each of them get a portion of the 3 car garage along with us (we have a garage now!). Then around the garage level are 4 tiny little apartments that he must rent out dirt cheap because I mean they are little! We have met many of our neighbors and they all seem friendly and quiet!
We all share a laundry room and our landlord's daughter lives in one of the bigger apartments so all the utilities are included in our rent! With the money we are saving to move into a larger and lovelier apartment (crazy how wonderful a deal this place is compared to our Belmont apt), we splurged and got digital cable with DVR. I am pretty weirded out by now being able to pause, rewind, and record TV but that is an entire blog entry in and of itself!

So read on for the tour and remember you can click on the pictures to enlarge them!
We miss you all and we have decided not to move again until Brian graduates unless it is to move into a home and since the chances of us being able to afford to even rent a home out here are slim, I think we will be here for 5 years or so...hopefully many of you will visit us in that time frame and get to see it for yourself!
