New House!

So after living in a hotel for the past 3 months, we finally got our housing! It took so long because we wanted to live on base. The place we live in is called Yuri tower, they are like apartments, we call them mid rises here. It's so nice to have our stuff, I didn't think we'd ever see it again!


And this is the mid rise we live in. I'll have to take a new picture, I think Ryan took this because it's the wrong side, but if you look 4 floors up that's how far up we are! They have this netting also on the balconies, I don't know if it's for safety or to keep the birds off of it.




The movers. They are cute little Japanese guys who can barely carry our stuff and when they come in the house they take of their shoes!





A view from our balcony down to see the movers get all of our stuff out of the crates.









This is the view from our living room balcony. The building on the left is the commissary, then on the other side of the road is the crossroads, where there is a food court, Community Bank (where I work), and a few other offices. So I can just walk across the street to work. We are getting a second car though, because it was free and when it's nasty like it has been, it can suck walking in the rain. The building on the right that is cut off is the exchange.





This is the whole view of the exchange/seven day store. So we just have to walk across the street to go shopping and do our grocery shopping and we can bring the cart up to our place. We live on the 4th floor we it's nice being up hi enough to have some privacy.



And here is to the side. We are right along the sea wall. The base is actually on an island so part of the base has water on the side of it. And from our bedroom balcony you can see the water. There is a bridge that goes across it and there is a little bit of housing there. But it's kind of the ghetto over there, they don't even have bus service there.





Our new couch and love seat. The only thing that happened to our stuff was that they lost one of our legs to the love seat. But I don't see how because I saw them take the legs off, put them in the couch and then in the couch box, but oh well, we have something to hold it.







The second bedroom that is a mess. There is a bazaar here at the end of October that I'll have to go to so I can get an office desk and bookshelf.









A picture of the bedroom, we don't have a bathroom connected but at least I have a balcony.







Our new washer and dryer that we bought before we got here.








Here is a video of right before our stuff was brought in.


And here is a video after it was brought in, almost a week later.

Poochie I looooooooooooove your dining room table. Where did you get it?

Your new apartment looks like it will be lots of fun! And I can't believe you live right across the street from work and all that shopping! Lucky!!
