Updates! (and a little bit of Easter)

Since we've moved into our condo we (and by we, I mean Ryan) have been busy making updates here and there. We had to put in a vanity in our bathroom because there was just a sink hanging out of the wall. And we had to put some shelves in our closet. Our closet is located in our bathroom and there was just one shelf located at hip level. So Ryan took out that shelf and is working on building me a closet! Honestly, the pictures do NOT do it justice. Ryan is pretty talented when it comes to building things. I'm so excited for all of this to be done soon so we can start on other projects! :)

And since last Sunday was Easter, I thought I'd post a picture of the cute little nieces and nephews after the egg hunt at my parent's house. It was SO fun to watch those guys totally get into it. I told Ryan I want a kid JUST for these types of things. But then after seeing them all high on sugar and running around like crazy and then crashing...I'm good just being an aunt for now.

Our new vanity!!! The top is granite and I LOVE the fixtures. (And yes, Ryan installed it).

The closet Ryan is in the process of building me. I'm SO glad I married a handy man. :)

My ADORABLE nieces and nephews on Easter Sunday.

YUM!

So since Ryan and I have bought our own place and we've been eating out everyday for like the past two weeks and I'm SO SICK of fast food, I sat down last night and planned out our meals for this week. Yes, I know...this is a FIRST! I know I'm challenged when it comes to things in the kitchen. And then today I even went and bought the groceries for the meals this week. Tonight I made my first meal: cheddar, bacon, and avocado grilled sandwiches. I know it's not difficult (my kind of cookin'!) but it was SO good! Try it!

makes two sandwiches:
6 slices bacon
6 oz cheddar cheese, sliced
half avocado, sliced
1 tomato, sliced
bread

-cook the bacon in the oven on a cookie sheet at 400 degrees for 12 minutes, turning once. drain bacon on paper towel
-place half of cheese on bread slice, layer tomato, bacon, avocado, and place half of cheese on top
-grill sandwich on griddle or frying pan on medium heat, put butter on bread slices and cook til cheese is melted [careful when flipping that sandwich...mine fell apart several times :)]

I'm starting off easy this week...tomorrow night is Bajio Green Chile Salad! :)

We Made It!

We finally moved into our new place in Pleasant Grove this past weekend! Here are a few pictures of the place, please excuse the mess. There are some before we moved in while under construction and now...still looking like it's under construction. We put tile in the kitchen and entry-way and real hard wood floors throughout except the bedrooms. I might try and post some pictures in a while when we get things all set up and done. We still have some projects to do...we're putting in a bathroom vanity in our bathroom...it was handicap accessible before we moved in...I'll have to post some pictures when that's all done. Ryan is also going to build me some shelves in our closet so as of right now my clothes are in boxes and hung up in our coat closet. :) I'm so excited to have a place of our own!

The tile in the kitchen

Ryan taking a break from grouting the tile. Mm mm Taco Time! (really gross, actually)

The wood floors.

Our messy....partially set up kitchen. You should have seen it the day before! I couldn't even walk in there, there were so many boxes!

The living room.

The extra bedroom. Like the love sac on the bed? :)

Our bedroom. (The pictures don't show it, but the bedrooms are actually quite large.)
