My return as Mrs. Figueroa!

Oh my gosh, I can't believe it's already been so long since I've last written!

So much has happened, and I know I'm going to miss some stuff that I really wanted to talk about, but that's how it goes I guess.

I'll be sure to cover all the major things though, like, for instance, the apartment and wedding!

Let's start with the apartment.

Chris and I have (just about) all of our stuff moved in, and the apartment is now a disaster! It's incredibly messy due to all of our stuff everywhere that has yet to receive a proper home. Poor stuff.

Plus, we just got back from our honeymoon (which I will also talk about!) and so we have dirty clothes everywhere that have yet to be washed, and suit cases that have yet to be unpacked.

Our apartment is no longer empty though, and with a million thanks to everyone that helped Chris and I get everything we needed to start off, here is a virtual tour of the 800 sq. ft. apartment that is, the Figueroa Apartment...

 

Obviously it doesn't look like this anymore...but since it's far too messy to give you a new, updated picture, you get this.

This is the view from the front door. Hello living room!

 

Thanks to my mom and Lee, we also have this awesome futon couch! It's super comfy and can lie flat to make a bed. (Kendy, this means you have no excuse for not staying over and visiting me!)
 

Turn around, and we have the TV! Another contribution from Mom and Lee! The entertainment stand thing, however, is thanks to my sister-in-law and her hubby. I like it a lot, and the TV is tons better than the old one Chris had before. 

 

Next up, we enter the kitchen! It also has much more in it now thanks to everyone's generous contributions. It's a great little kitchen for the two of us!

 

On our first night together at the apartment, I made lasagna and garlic bread and served it in our new glasses (given to us by Momma) and we ate at our newly assembled dining room set (thanks to the family and friends that came to my bridal shower). I love the dining room table and chairs. they are the taller kind instead of your standard chair, and I love taller chairs and tables. Plus, they look so nice!

I think we may get some seat cushions though in the future sometime, but they are great as is!

 If you go around the corner and turn to your left, you'll see the bedroom. Very nice size, I was afraid it'd be a lot smaller. It also has a walk in closet! Though...it's rectangular and skinny, so not a very cozy walk in closet, but still! The bed was given to us also by Chelsea and Kalen, and I love it! Super comfy, and the bed frame looks very nice.

 

Now, turn around and go down the hall and you'll find the bathroom! Towels and shower curtain were courtesy of Lee, and I like them a lot.  I also put together that thingy that goes over the toilet all by my lonesome! The only thing that sucks, is that the towel rod there won't let you push it back against the wall, so you have to do a superman reach to get the toilet paper.

There's the tour of the apartment! What do ya think? Not too bad I think.

So next is a little bit about the wedding.

I have to say, I'm glad it happened, but I am SO glad that it is over with! It was very stressful at times, and very time consuming, as well as financially, emotionally and mentally draining!

It went by far too fast for my liking, but I think that's what people always say about their weddings...you hardly remember any of it.

Thanks to Faith though, I have some amazing pictures to look back on and cherish what memories I do have!

So right after the wedding, Chris and I ran off to the Bricktown Hotel for the night instead of rushing off to our honeymoon like most couples do.

We had reserved the King Suite thing at the hotel for the night and we thought it'd be like $200, but we figured...hey...you only have a wedding night once right? (I know I know...that's not true all the time...), but the room was closer to $300! We went ahead and paid for it, and I'd say it was a tad pricey still, but still very awesome!

Luckily it came with a big, super awesome hot tub (in the living room), two flat screen TVs, towels folded like swans and seashells, a Hershey's chocolate Symphony bar, a bottle of some fancy chmancy champagne (that did NOT taste good at ALL!), a gigantic comfortable bed, a mini fridge, a microwave, and free useage of the hotel's shuttle VIP shuttle service.

It was pretty awesome.

Chris and I ordered some food from the Spaghetti Warehouse for our first meal as a married couple, and when Chris went down to the front desk to ask if the shuttle driver could take him to pick the food up, she said the driver would go and get it for us! So he did! He went and picked up our food for us and Chris just paid him for it. It was awesome!

 Well...I have some wifely duties to go attend to (making dinner...mostly because I'm starving!) so I'll be off now.

I will write up a few blog posts in the next few days about the honeymoon, and I think I'm going to steal Jeanette's idea of "Wordless Wednesday", but instead will have "Wedding Wednesday" where I will post a wedding or bridal picture for a while!

Until then...See ya!

Love you all!
