I MOVED...to the BEACH!!!

So there is a reason for my lack of blog.  Lets start with the holidays, where my mom and sister did everything and I just had to show up and eat.  Then there is my new job, that has a really flexible schedule, I mean REALLY flexible.  And then there was the MOVE!  Oh my goodness, can you believe it?!  I am finally here!  Now my walls are purple and disgusting, but my clothes are hung up and I am no longer a gypsy.  Here are some before pics:

I was sold on the size of the closet, I guess it really isn't that big (3 panels wide) but it is bigger than my suitcase!  And I love the size of that window and the view of the trees, its just these dang purple walls.  I am tempted to paint them, but why go through the effort when I know I won't be here for long...
I still don't have a bed, I have a mattress though!  A bed will be my next purchase, unless someone decided to donate to the Rachel Foundation.  I am also considering a pallet bed (which I REALLY WANT), but the problem with that is it eliminates under the bed storage...hmmm...
Mark helped me move everything, actually I helped Mark move everything, actually Mark moved everything!  He saved my life!  And look my crowning jewel of this whole thing was that I can finally put up that painting that my sister Carly did for me!  (although its totally clashing on these stupid purple walls!)
And now this is a regular occurrence :) the beach.  And bonfires.  At the beach.  Its a five minute walk from my front door.  So now that you have seen the place, come visit!  Help me explore my new city!  As soon as my room is settled and decorated I will give you a real virtual tour! :)
