Plenty of Room for the Johnston Family of Five*

*By "plenty of room" I mean approximately 800 square feet.  Should be cozy!

So this is what we are living in, folks.

The main door, which we do not use because it doesn't open easily (perhaps because of the gigantic filing cabinet blocking it?)


Our living area.  Still trying to get organized.


The dining area.  You can tell our table is being used for its intended purpose.


Some bum left a bunch of micro-brew beer bottles in a bucket on our patio.  How rude!


Our patio.  Notice the barely-alive lavender plant on the edge.  Pretty sure the Texas heat is murdering it.


Master bedroom (I made the bed! Go me!)


Shower and toilet.  The shower head is maybe 4' off the bottom of the tub.


Bathroom vanity and sink (Another bum left a bunch of cosmetics and personal hygiene products behind.  She could have at least put them away)


Extra-wide hallway leading from master to the main living area.


Nolan's spacious bedroom (with his new big boy bed sort of set up)


Same messy bathroom.


Kitchen pantry/storage/laundry hookups


Our fireplace being used as Nolan's play workstation


As you can clearly see, our apartment is a disaster.  HOWEVER, we can now actually walk around in it (you should have seen it on Sunday) and sit on the sofa and watch TV.  Be grateful for the little things, right?

Hope everybody has a good weekend.

  1. Happy to hear you're feeling better. Also happy to hear that the crazy bums from Spokane have been able to travel so well to Texas. I was worried about them.
    I'm excited for you with your new house. You'll have to keep up this blog, as I find it entertaining, informative, and the most reliable method of knowing about what's happening in your lives. (This is WAAAYYY better than the carrier pigeons.)
    Take care!

    1. I intend on maintaining it for sure. I'm hoping to update it a couple of times per week, but we'll see. Some weeks that shouldn't be a problem, other times it might be tough.

  2. I'm glad you're showing pictures of your lovely (temporary) home! Nothing at all like I was picturing in my mind. Plus I see you have lots and lots of room for entertaining and overnight guests!
    But all in all, I'm sure it beats the hotel...right? :-)

    1. MUCH better than the hotel! Way more room. Although I do miss being able to walk out of the room with all three dogs to let them out. Brian and I have to do it in shifts here. :-/
