Sterling & Becky's Pictures

Today Sterling and Becky let me take their family pictures. 

They were too cute not to share.

These are just a few of my favorites.

I hope Mike and my kids come out this cute ;)

Our First Place

As our wedding approached we started looking at places so we could have a Home set up and settled before we got married. Especially since we were getting married in the crazy middle of the Hollidays.

We found a duplex for rent across town with a cute little backyard.

It seriously needed repainted (even though they told us we we not allowed to) I painted some of it anyways. 

We moved in November 11th of 2014. And moved out when we headed to North Dakota in September of 2015. These pictures were taken right before we moved.

 We rented the right half. 928. The left half was not as nice inside as ours. And the people who lived there had 3 large pit bulls they kept in a half ass pen off the back door.

 This is the hall from the front door that goes upstairs or into the living room. I painted the hall, and while I thought the Black/White theme was cool at the time, looking back I don't like it.

This is the living room. With all our 'donated' furniture. Because we were just starting out when we moved in everyone gave us old furniture to use.

We got the brown couch and TV from my parents. The TV stand from a neighbor who was getting a new one and wanted help hauling it out. 

 The white hutch was built in. The table set from Sterling and Becky. The black couch was Davids he brought when he moved in with us. And the wooden chest/bench was a wedding gift from my Dad.

 The cute rustic kitchen, which did not have a dishwasher or microwave. And a small stack washer/dryer in the kitchen of all places?

The Downstairs Bathroom.

 The master Bedroom with the Bed / Dresser Set Michael bought from a friend back when he had his own place.

The Master Closet.

The Upstairs shared master Bathroom. It had a horrible shower with giant half seashells sticking out of the wall to use as shelfs. But they were angled down so everything just slid off anyways.

 The Second bedroom, which was Davids when he moved in. 

And then became our workout room/office when he left.

 The drive way to the right of the apartment.

 The large open backyard with lots of shade. It had an apple tree Wesley would chew on the dropped apples from. And we even grew garden boxes here.

And the Shed/shop Michael fixed up so he could use it to work on his buggy and building projects.

After we moved in we invited family over and we were shocked to find out that Michael's older brother Sterling had rented the SAME exact place (same side and everything) several years earlier. And grossly enough- he said it had the same exact carpeting when he lived there!
