We didn't waste any time after graduation and jumped right into moving day! Dunc has a job lined up in downtown Salt Lake so we decided to move up north for a shorter commute. After looking way too many places we found an awesome apartment in Bountiful and were so excited to move! We enlisted the help of pretty much everyone we know and got everything packed and moved the day after Dunc graduated.
Unfortunately when we got to our new apartment we were more than a little disappointed. The place was SO nasty and dirty! My SIL Jamie gets the most charitable award for cleaning cat hair off of our cupboards on her birthday. Thanks Jamie! Also thanks to all my sisters, sister-in-laws, and my mom and MIL for getting this place liveable. It was definitely an effort. Shout out to the men too for doing all the heavy lifting, but let's be honest, they never read this anyway.
We also were surprised by the lovely scent of cigarette smoke stenching up our main bathroom. Not pleasant at all. After 12+ hours of airing the place out and some baking soda cleaning solutions it's starting to smell a little better but still needs help. Anybody know a good way to get rid of cigarette smell?
Other than those two big things we LOVE our apartment. It is awesome! We went from a two bed, one bath apartment, to a two bed, two bath apartment, but it feels more like a four bedroom apartment with all the storage we have here. Two of my favorite parts of the house are the huge storage closet and the awesome walk-in in the master bedroom. I'll post pics once we get the place more put together.

That is so cute that Mya found her happy place. I'm still looking for mine. Just kidding. Loved all the grad pictures and Mya's 6 month pictures. You got some good ones!
I hope you let the landlord have it! The place should be left clean -- that should be a no brainer. Really should get reimbursed a cleaning fee.
Glad you like the place, now. And very fun to be closer to family.
I love the pics of Mya looking out the window! How cute! Glad you guys are getting settled.
Sorry the place was so yuck! That's never fun. Sounds like you had a good crew to help you spruce it up! Good luck with the new place and new job!
