Well we do pray there before meals ;)

haha actually it is usually a corner table, if that makes since... I tried to find a picture of it put all together but I can't find one. But that bench with the back on it has a smaller bench and a corner piece that fits on it to make it kind of like an "L" but we ran out of room when moving so that part is still at my parents house in Indiana for now lol We figured this would do fine until they can bring it down with them.

Looks very nice, I have been in my apartment for months and months and almost everything I own is still in boxes. I hadn't noticed you were from around clermont before...your probably right down the road from me lol

You live in Florida? Where at? We just moved, from near Chicago, so we've only been in the area since August 1st.

Best way to say where I live in around Lake Buena Vista, the land of tourists. Technically it is Orlando, but I am really not near the city at all.

What a cute apartment! DH and I are halfway to Florida right now (I love being able to suff the net in the car! Aircards are great!) We are renting a funished house for a month while we apartment hunt. I love your bed! I've always liked that style!

haha land of tourists is right, that area and the outskirt if Kissimmee which I had the joy of living in for a year right near that area with that cheesey old town fair eeewwww I think DH and I are going to look for an apartment windemere (at least I think that's the name) trying to get away from the tourists lol

From what I have seen I think Windemere. It is close to the parks, but it is on a back road that we take when we go to the parks, and I never see too much traffic, no real reason for tourists to be there.


I enjoy the parks and we have annual passes. DH and I both of the majority of our days off so we like to go and just people watch, and walk around. I'm glad for the tourists.... I like not having state income taxes ;)

So the 3 of us are all kinda close, I'm about 17 miles north of Downtown Disney near a town called Clermont, which is near lake Apopka, and it is about I dk like 10 miles or less east of Winter Garden.

Wow Jacklynn you did a great job settling and making things homey! :) I love your shower curtain!

I am amazed you were able to fit all that furniture into one of those moving cubes! We are definitely leaning towards ABF for our move but can't decide if we should do the cube or the truck!

Looks nice; glad you are all settled in :)

haha yes all of that fit into the cube! Including all of our kitchen stuff that you can't see, and all of our clothes (except the ones we used while transitioning) The "pew" bench part of the table was the only big thing that didn't go in there, and while our car was filled with stuff it was mostly our electronics, since we were going to be storing it in Florida we didn't want our electronics in the car. And then our pet lizard of course and his cage was in the car with us.

The cube does fit a lot but we also had my dad helping whose job was transportation in the military so we had it packed using every inch. So you may want to decided based on your packing skills :)

Oh and a little hint, we did have all of our clothes in boxes/rubbermaid things, we started running low on space so we took them out and shoved them into tight spaces, where nothing else would fit. It did three things, got rid of those extra boxes, got our clothes in there, and also gave our stuff some extra padding :)

I am definitely a spacial arrangement kind of person, and having moved over 20 times I have packing down to a science - but getting all that in one cube is still impressive to me!!

That is a good tip! We actually were planning on packing our clothes in those totes - I will have to rethink that!

[Jacklynn]

The only thing about doing that with the clothes is we washed them before we wore any of them because they were kinda stuffy smelling if tha makes any sense. Kinda musty. But we washed them and all was good :)
