Our New Apartment...


A friend of mine Rozanne (South African) that sent me a message on Facebook a few months before I left South Africa, and I ended up staying just down the road from each other in Howell without knowing it, until we spoke on FB after a while... She then told me about the apartments she lives in, and we were looking for an apartment, so I told Dustin about them, and we went to apply for a place. When we got there, there was ONE 2 bedroom apartment available the following week, which told us something about the place - if it's so full, it has got to be a good place :)

We applied and got accepted and started moving in on the July 28th and were in on August 1st. We are collecting things slowly, because we basically started from the beginning... I'm not going to post pics of the apartment yet, because I want to have everything done and then I will post before and after pics of each room...

In the meantime here are pics of some of the appliances etc. we have for our kitchen...



I got these Coffee Mugs for Christmas... I have 12 of them :)



The Coffeemaker and Crockpot were a gift from Dustins Mom and Step Dad... Really Awesome!



I got a shower curtain for my bathroom... I just need to figure out if I want to paint the bathroom and if I do, what colour I want to paint it.... I was thinking eggshell but not sure yet!

Weekend away at Frankenmuth...

This post is WAY overdue, but I guess it's better late than never, right?


Dustins Dad and Step Mom invited us to go to Frankenmuth for a weekend from the 15th - 17th July... It was really such a great weekend, and such a lovely opportunity to get to know them more! They are such lovely people! Carol has such an infectious laugh that I absolutely love, haha...


Here are a few pics from the weekend...


This is in front on the reception area...




We went to go eat some famous fried Chicken after we got checked in and took our bags up to our rooms. The most amazing fried chicken i've EVER had. After dinner we went to play some mini golf...


This is where we ate...




The awesome mini golf area...

On Saturday we went on the riverboat... Before that we went for a walk around a little area with some cute shops.





This was in the window of a candy shop, it was amazing watching in turn and stretch...


This is where the boat docks for the next lot of people to board...
