I was reflecting the other day on our new life and on how much things have changed in this last year for us. First of all that we moved to New York and things were totally different there, but then that we are in this totally new place again less than a year later! I don't have the pictures of our apartment from last summer (for those keeping score, that is three times moving and three different states in just barely over a year) but let me show you what I mean about all of the changes
ITHACA
Living Room
Dining room, kitchen
I guess I didn't take very good pictures of our room in Ithaca but here are two that Ben took of me in there so you get an idea.
Tiny Ithaca Bathroom. We only had one, now two.
CHICAGO
Our new couch changes shape so this is just one of them. It has changed three times already. I love it!
Dining room, or corner. You don't feel crammed though because of the windows
This is Ben's new Picture I got him for his B-day
And then the new thing is that we have a LAUNDRY ROOM!!!
We didn't have a laundry room in our apartment in Ithaca. I never thought I would be so happy to have a closet sized laundry room but I love it. And what a luxury it is to do laundry in your own apartment!
I didn't take this picture obviously but it looks the same. Right now our car is downstairs crammed in the garage tightly, I couldn't get a pic if I wanted.
As you can see neither place is like Salt Lake so there have been a lot of changes and I am seeing all sorts of things I never imagined. There are great things about each place we've been. Our life is definitely an adventure. New State, new city, new apartment, new furniture, new job, new car, new hair. I think the only thing the same is that I still have the same husband and he still has the same wife (well, and the same hair).

You're doin' fine, Ben and Lexi!

Ben & Lexi,
Just took a few minutes out of the evening to update myself on the family blogs. Wow! You guys have really made a lot of changes since the last time I checked in. You're in New York now? What is Ben doing for work now? How did the move come about? I just have to say, when I look at pictures of you, Ben, you remind me so much of your dad when he was your age and he and your mom were just starting out like you and Lexi. Looks like you two are doing great! Good luck on the job hunt, Lexi!
Love,
Jones Cousin, Gini
love your new place, and love your new hair!!! you are so fabulous! i miss you!!!
Lexi and Ben,
I miss you guys so much! I am so happy I got to see pictures of your cute apartments :) I wish I could come and stay with you. I'll have to think of something... I want to start a blog too! I just wish I were cool enough to have people actually read it... it might be something fun to do instead of homework. You'll have to tell me how sometime. I love you so much! Ben, you look so great with your Conagra apron... very stylish and sexy!
Love the new hair. SO CUTE and LOVE the new apt. Miss ya!
where is the indoor basketball court? I know ben likes to wear crazy-short shorts when he plays. I thought an indoor court would give you more reasons to wear them.
