The dog chase and the apartment tour

Yesterday when I was leaving the gym I decided to take a round about way home, partly because there was nothing to do at home and secondly I didn't feel like I had ran enough on the treadmill. So I was walking down the street and I saw this dog running from yard to yard and not and no one was around the dog at all. I decided to help the dog because many people have brought Ariel, my families dog, back after she found her way out. So, I followed this dog for several blocks. It was a black dog with a scary looking face so I didn't want to just reach out and grab its collar, and every time I got close it would run away. So this dog was running back and forth across the street and people were scowling at me as if I was the owner, just letting my dog run free. We ended up at Porter Park where the dog decided to lay down in a big puddle and I finally caught up to it, but he was off once again, but he didn't go very far. He found an old truck with an open window, and before I could do anything, it had jumped in, laid down and looked very happy in the shade and to be away from me. So that was that. I wonder how the person reacted when they came back to their car to find a big black wet dog sprawled out across the seat.

People have been asking to see pictures of our apartment, so here it is. There is still some decorating to be done.

This is how our apartment looks from the front door. I can't move Jacob's weights by myself so they stayed in the picture.

Here is the living room from the other side. Yes, that is two TVs you see. Our DVD player broke so now when we watch movies we watch them from the little TV that came with a built in DVD player. The fan usually isn't in the middle of the room but it is in the 90's today. Yuck.

This is where we eat. Jacob kept talking about how he wanted a bamboo plant so I bought him one. They are said to be lucky and bring you wealth, so we try to treat our bamboo plant well. The plants in the living room are dying. This is because no one told us they were lucky. The metal shelf you see at the side is our "office" where we print and find all the important papers that I have lost.

Here is our kitchen. If you noticed the tub in the bottom left hand corner, I emptied my friends storage unit and shipped all her stuff to her. It has been a long project that will be over with very soon. We just have to figure out what to do with these tubs.By the way, the kitchen is always this clean.

Here is our bedroom. We're still sleeping on an air mattress and we are okay with that. It'd just be another thing to pack when we get out of Rexburg. Jacob was very excited to use the cooler as his bed side stand. I'm glad to know that a bed side stand made out of a ten dollar cooler from K-Mart can make him happy. If only everything in life was that easy!

I don't know what happened to the bathroom picture. It's not that exciting.

That is our apartment. I am hoping that one day we will have a big kitchen and neighbors far enough away so I wont hear their loogie hocking. But I am happy to pay my dues now. (COME ON BAMBOO PLANT!!)
