Our House! In the Middle of Our Street!

Hello all! After about a month we are almost fully unpacked. We got a washer and dryer last night, but all the plugs in our little old house are too old to work with our dryer. So, for now, we have a catastrophically huge pile of laundry on the floor in our room! Until we get an electrician in, we're living day to day, washing a few things here and there and letting them air dry. :)

Here are a few pictures of our house--that we love!

This is our living room, which is not huge, but we like it. And, our brand new couch that is incredibly comfortable. (We had to get a new couch because David was allergic to the other one...a rather hilarious story, actually.)

Here's our "dining room". It's small, but we really like this little table that we got from Shopko. And, as you can see, I have attempted to decorate by buying new valences and adding a pumpkin spice candle to our table!

Here's a shot of our new bed. At first, I couldn't stand it...it hurt our backs! But after a week or two we realized we just needed to break it in, and now it's pretty good. We're not in love with our duvet cover, but it was the best deal we could find, and it matched our interesting striped wall paper.

Lastly, here's a random picture of our kitchen. This doesn't do it justice, because the light was shining in so brightly. Our dishwasher had a melt down last night, so our dishes are in the sink until we get it resolved. You can't see the otherside that has our fridge, microwave, oven and my beloved kitchen aid---which is amazing.

That's all I have for now. I would post pics of the outside, but our landlady is repainting the trim and it looks terrible right now. Hopefully in a week or two it will be all spiffed up!

Catching Up...

Where are we these days anyway? Well, we've gone to Boise, Idaho. We love it here. We're both graduates of BYU with degrees in Communications. David plans to go on to dental school and is finishing some classes at BSU. Our Boise State pride pales compared to the Cougar blood running through our veins, but since everyone else in town seems to be obsessed, I am trying to muster some enthusiasm. I work full time at a staffing agency. I actually really like it. The days zoom by. There isn't a second to look at the clock and wonder when the day will be over. I work with great ladies who have some hilarious stories you wouldn't believe. I get to go through dozens of resumes a day, plow through mounds of paper work, and I have an unlimited supply of instant oatmeal. Does life get better? Ha. But really, I do enjoy it.

We are both on the activities committee. I think it's a great fit since we go to every ward function known to man. That's partly because we don't really know anyone else yet. :)

We live in a little yellow house that we love. It's really cute inside and we are working on making it home. The neighborhood is right next to BSU and David can ride his bike to school each morning. That is, he would ride his bike, if it hadn't had its lock cut and been stolen straight out of our yard! We have some theories about who took it. But we've been playing detective the last few days and have had no luck.

We got so many amazing kitchen appliances for our wedding that I am constantly cooking! David and I are obsessed with pizza. No. That's an understatement. We pretty much crave pizza at every moment of the day and night. So, we eat pizza every Friday and it's a blast. We've been making it ourselves, and we've gotten pretty good. But last Friday we got two Papa John's pizzas and (being the fatties that we are) ate them both. It was an incredible experience!

I'd say that's a decent update. Boise has been good to us, but we will keep you updated. And, I'll post pictures when I get my act together!

Tah Dah!!

As you all know, two best friends got married! Since we've each let our own blogs pretty much die, we knew it was time for 'The Luker Family Blog.' So, with great pleasure I present the story of our lives together. I hope it makes for an interesting read...

Oh yeah. I know the site suggests a little more to our family than just us two. We'll get there. And hopefully our blog will be around to see the day. :)
