The first week of married life...

has been quite an adventure. At this time last week Jacob and I were in Boise getting our stuff loaded up into his car, getting ready to make the long treck across Idaho back to Rexburg and back to school. We werent sure if our power would be on or if the manager would remember to unlock our door and leave a key for us. Thankfully, Jacob's parents had rented us a hotel room in rexburg just in case we didnt have power.

We did the four and a 1/2 hour drive with no stops! We had power and our door was unlocked. Even though all was in order we decided to stay at the Best Western across the street anyways. Free breakfast!! We grabbed the extra trash bags from our hotel room and stuffed them with more muffins and bread for lunch.

The first day of school felt like any other school day until I went home to my very empty apartment. I thought I'd make a box of Pasta-Roni for dinner and was disappointed when i realized I did not have a sauce pan. But I did have a frying pan. It'll work! Nope. not at all. I guessed the amount of milk, water and butter to put in. I was wrong. Very wrong. and disspite the amount of extra water, it was still not enough to cover the noddles and cook them. So... I had left over, very aldente pasta for lunch the next day. Jacob decided he would be happier with a PB&J for dinner and I was not offended.

Jacob went back to work and I was left to unpack what little we had with us. We had the necessities. Toilet paper, blankets and some clothes... and laundry.

We spent the week eating PB&J's for lunch and whatever I could scrounge for dinner. We had fun turning our dinners into pic-nics on the floor. Thank goodness for Jacob's mom sending all this food with us and stocking us up with food every time we go home or else we would have had nothing.

This weekend we went shopping for more apartment furniture. Jacob's car was filled to the brim and we're are so excited to get everything in place so the apartment will feel like home.
