Wedding Wednesday - Our first place

I'm almost done with the Wedding Wednesday posts. I'll be in Cambodia when the rest of these post. That's crazy, when I started this we weren't even sure that we were going to go anywhere with the Peace Corps, and right now I'm writing this while waiting for our staging/orientation to start the day before we start our life in Cambodia.

This week is all about our first place together! We moved in together when we got married. In fact, the night we got back from our weekend away in Park City (since we went on a honeymoon a couple of weeks later) we had to set up our bed in our apartment. We didn't have a couch for like a month. It's crazy to look back on how little we had back then, and see how much we just had to get rid of. We were so blessed with so many things.

Our first apartment was in downtown Salt Lake City. We loved it. We loved living downtown. It was in a little bit of a sketchy area, but we never really felt unsafe. We had a lot of fun and made some friends when we lived downtown. Downtown Salt Lake City just has a cool vibe.

We lived there for 7 months before a better apartment practically fell in our laps. We still talk about our first apartment very fondly and sometimes still wish we were still there.
