Making Do

When Duke and I moved here to California for the summer we decided to only take the neccesities. Duke said it was like we were going camping. Well, we packed just like it. When we got here we didn't have any furniture so we made a make shift bed on the floor and went to the store for some basics. We needed a shower curtain for Duke to shower before work the next day. Until the next morning we didn't realize we forgot the shower rings, and so we definitely did a make-shift project.

Our make-shift shower curtain with a hair tie and bobby pin as the first and the others with strips of theraband.

For breakfast we had IHOP since we didn't have a fridge. That night our furniture came including a microwave, we had decided to be radiation free by only using a stove but I was grateful. Throughout the weeks we have bee here we have collected our tupperware from yogurt containers and our pitchers for juice from juice containers. It's definitely been an experience.

This last weekend I got home from trip with my mom and Duke apparently really missed me. He got me flowers and made me dinner with Martinelli's to drink, it's our new special occasion drink (for as many special occasions as we can come up with). Well, those bottles became our vases for these flowers and a Dad's rootbeer can for the two that wouldn't fit!

We also have started our first garden!! Pretty fun out on the balcony. It's just some herbs and actually cost more than what I thought it would...this way we don't have to buy seasonings! We are doing good with our plants and salt, pepper, and some seasoning salt.

It actually has grown since we planted them, quite a bit. Some sweet basil, rosemary, and oregano
