a New home after going Home for a needed break

I wanted to put these pictures after the ones of my trip home but blog spot had another plan. So here it is. This is my room (slightly organized) it is hard to get a good angle on it but it is the biggest room in the apartment and the closet is about a foot longer, so i like it.
here is the kitchen, which has a lot more counter space than my last one, so i am happy. and the picture didn't turn out that well, but the pantry is about three times bigger than my last place as well :)


Here is the living room. you can see that the mini-fridge is in use. it has gone from my fridge for food and stuff, like it was in my last apartment, and has gone back to a soda dispenser :) unfortunately i am the only person in the apartment who has a TV, thanks again to Matt, so i don't have a TV in the room. it is ok though, i'm fine :)

Before i moved into my new palace I was fortunate enough to have a little over a week to go home and relax. I left the hot, dry, brown, and ugly Utah. I arrived to the beautiful, luscious, GREEN, and beautiful Coeur d' Alene Idaho. Lets just say it was nice to look out the window and be pleased with what i see again.

I spent as much time as i could catching up with family and securing my "favorite Uncle" status. (which i'm proud to say is extremely secure :)

Another great thing about being home is i was able to get my tinkering fix in. I can't say how much i miss building things and having projects. i missed the shop and this trip gave me my fix.
because Grant took the corn hole set he built with him the Coeur 'd Alene house was in need of another. So i went to work. I didn't think to take pictures until I was done building but here is the process from there.

After they were assembled we went to the painting process.
Mom and i agreed that they corn hole set had to remind us of home. So we put a "Mom" touch to them :)

the bags are rubber ducks and real ducks. and the corn hole boards are ponds and grass (where ducks like to hang out ;)
