When I was 18 I moved out of my parents house and into the dorms at ISU. I moved from the dorms to the University Courts, from the UC's to my sisters house on N. Arthur, from N. Arthur to the Green Ghettos, from the Green Ghettos to a studio on N. Arthur, from the studio back into my sisters apartment (only this time she didn't live there anymore), from my sister's apartment to my sister's house on Tahoe Place, from there back to my parents house, from my parent's house to the Summit Apartments, from Summits to Westport, from Westport to Bradford Trace, and from Bradford Trace to here. Phew! Are you still with me? That's 11 moves in 8 years. We are currently looking to move back to Idaho too. 12 moves.
I have only a handful of pictures that detail these homes. It makes me sad. I can pick out a few details in the background of a picture (because who seriously just takes pictures of their house?) but I would love to be able to go back and see my first apartment again or my dorm room. At the time, you don't think twice about it because it's where you are living and you are used to it. But as time goes on you forget about the details. And let's face it, our stuff tells almost anything you need to know about a person especially when you are in your teens and early twenties before you become married and mature and lame....I mean socially acceptable.
For example, in the ghettos, we had an arm chair with no legs, a huge dry erase board with our silly conversations written out on it to show the world how hilarious we are, a zen garden, an electric neon guitar clock, a lava lamp lamp (that's not a typo, it was a lava lamp lamp), oh! and a rotten pumpkin on our balcony that was there for months. I need pictures to remember the rest of the stuff. I know there was more. Alas, no pictures.
The studio apartment I moved into was my first unfurnished space. I had to furnish it with pieces I found as well as stuff from DI. No pictures. Not one. It was such a cute little studio. Creepy guy lived next door...but that's a different story.
I think I am getting off topic.
The point is, it would be nice to have visuals of my past and part of that is where I lived, where we lived, where Atrion lived.
So here are some photos of where we live now.
The fancy blueprint I did in Paint.

Our bedroom.

My half bath. That's right...MY!

Living room.


The boys bathroom. If we were staying longer, I would buy a shower curtain and new rugs to match the white and grey/blue.

The Cocina.

Atrion's room...he runs this house, obviously.
