My Spirit Will Not Be Crushed!!!

This cute snapshot was taken our first morning in our very own apartment. Notice how Sophie has made her way in between our pillows, this happens often.
Its official. We not longer have to live with ANYONE. I can't explain how completely wonderful it feels. We began our moving late Thursday night, and finished bringing everything in Saturday afternoon. The only non-family member that helped us move was Matt, kudos to that little ball of sunshine. All the rest of you - are crappy friends. Moving on!

Our first night in the apartment, I went to turn on the heat ... it didn't work. Talk about a nice little surprise. The maintenance man was also fired the day we moved in, so nothing was going to be fixed until Monday. Also almost every door in the apartment, would get stuck. While it was a crap apartment - it was still OUR crap apartment. So I was still happy.

2:00 am I heard a strange voice on the baby monitor, and realized it was picking up a different monitor since Sophie's had turned off. I went to check her room, and the power had gone out in both her and our room. I woke Denny, and he went to fix the problem. After flipping a few switches, the power went back on in the rooms. We got everything settled and went back to bed, 5 minutes later it all switched back off. Once more Denny flipped the switches and we went back to bed... and once again it all went off.

Being as we NEEDED the power on, since it was the only thing giving us heat; we called the emergency maintenance number. They informed us that we were out of luck, and they couldn't make it out until 7 am. We unplugged everything but the heater in Sophie's room, then came to camp out in the living room - and freeze to death. Soon after Sophie woke up, so I just brought her out on the couch with us.

Denny was loving enough to sleep on the floor. A few hours later, the maintenance man arrived to save the day. Turns out the idiotic apartment people didn't turn on our pilot light... that's cool... it's not like we have a baby or anything.. oh wait, we do!

A wonderful man name Juan has been here all morning, fixing all the crap that was wrong with our apartment. He is great at his job, and he is keeping me sane. :) So that was our delightful adventure of our first few nights in our apartment. :D
