Before

So we finally made it to Corning after a long but incredibly fun road trip.  We arrived in town on Tuesday, the moving truck delivered our stuff on Wednesday, and we've spent every day since then unpacking and organizing.  I'm pretty sure we were very, very spoiled by our last apartment because after seeing this one for the first time...I...well...I cried.  Kind of embarrassing to admit, but it wasn't quite what I was hoping for.  It will do though, and after killing all the bugs and getting our stuff moved in things are looking much better around here. 

Here are the before pictures.  I'll post some after pictures of it furnished once we get all the empty boxes out of here. 

Our apartment.

What you see when you walk in the front door. Bathroom door on the right. Air conditioning unit on the wall.

Looking to the left in the main room.  To the left is the kitchen.

Kitchen.  We have waaaaay too much stuff for this little kitchen.

Looking to the right in the main room.  That's where our TV and couches are now.

Our teeny tiny bathroom and spaceship shower.

Tight hallway going from the bathroom to our bedroom.  Accordion doors on both sides....so annoying.

Our bedroom and second air conditioning unit.

The wasp that was there to welcome us.  James killed it in thanks.

Our deck and the giant tree where we think the wasps live.

Yes we have our complaints, but over the last few days we've started coming up with things we really like about the apartment...for example there are outlets eeeeverywhere which is super convenient.  Also, even though the apartment overall is smaller than what we're used to, the main living area and our bedroom are actually larger than what we had before.  I think this will work just fine.
