Our Apartment & Giant Gummy Bears

So, I promised family and a couple friends from afar that I would show off our new apartment when we got here.... Better late than never! Come on, it's only been two months. It's small, but we love it! It was brand spankin new when we moved in so that's nice. We had to take the packing material out of the dish washer. You would think they would take that out for us, but hey, I was happy because I knew for sure it had never been used. NICE! Here is our apartment sign...

And, here is the driveway...yes, the driveway. I like the ranch style fence. I love pulling into our apartment complex.

Our lovely, little living-room.

This is our dining room that leads to our patio and storage room.

And the patio mentioned above.

This is our fantastic kitchen. There's a big ol' closet to the left that serves as our pantry and LAUNDRY ROOM!!! I'm SO happy to have an in unit washer and dryer again.

And this is our bathroom. It's actually really big. I had to take two pictures to get the whole view.

I didn't take pictures of our bedroom or the walk in closet, because it's very cluttered and our bedding is disgraceful. But, it's a good sized room. We're happy with it.

As for the giant gummy bears! We drove to Raleigh with some friends (Jeremy and Emily) to witness a 5lb gummy bear live and in person. When we got to the candy store we saw what we thought was the 5lb wonder and it was really not very big and to be honest we were a little disappointed at how underwhelming it was. It was still bigger than the average bear, but I didn't even take a picture because it wouldn't have been something to blog about. I mean, this thing was featured on the travel channel. It should WOW us, right? Well, we were still in a candy store and each of us a kid at heart, so it wasn't a total let down. We grabbed our little bags and started collecting goodies...then we spotted these guys!

Now THAT is a 5lb gummy bear! And this is some of the other things that caught our eye. We ate most of it before I took this picture though.... I LOVE CANDY!

Oh! And look at this cool Lego candy! Pshaw!
