The Apartment

Well Jenny has her apt and has been out shopping. She has a bed, kitchen table, microwave, mixer, and all the additional things that make a house tick. She will let Eric have the say in a couch and the electronics when it is time. She said she went to walmart and purchased 400.00 worth of nothing! HA...she got all the house stuff like ironing board, tp, papertowels, some pans and stuff so all worth while things but I guess not really that much fun to buy when you have basically had your own money to just buy clothes and fun things for a good 4 months now. But she did get her green tea kettle and her green brita pitcher so she is happy. James has been the dutiful dad and has hauled, and helped put together the place for her. They went to see James aunt Elaine today too and will tonight attend the homecoming party for the ship so that they can meet people and get their passes for the big day on sunday. Seems they can get on the base around 8:30am so that means around a 10am or so arrival of the USS SHOUP. Eric has been able to call her a few times too since he hit Hawaii. This of course is just icing on the cake.
So here are some pictures of her apt. She says she will send some more still and I will continue to update with pictures if I get them and let you know how the newlyweds are doing.
Maggie the cat is hiding under the bed but is slowly getting used to the apt too. It did not smell right (carpet cleanning, and paint) so she shook the first day but is adjusting and once they get a couch I expect she will be there long enough to settle in. But the place seems nice I am told, nice view out the back of the pond so no ugly neighbors to stare at you and they have the parking spot directly out and down from the stairs so not too far to haul groceries from. They have laundry in the apt and a dishwasher, refrig and of course stove. Almost sounds too perfect for a first apt...humm....maybe a nice mouse would make it seem more homey?
Take care little girl and congradulations on your first real apt!
