My excuse for being MIA

I decided at the end of January to buy a house. I had been thinking about it for quite a while, but fate stepped in. I was browsing around the real estate sites, and suddenly there it was! I got chills, it was so perfect. I called an agent, and two days later I was seeing the interior in person for the first time. 

A short story made even shorter, I closed on my first home February 25th! Now, for the photos: 

My new house!!!I have been moving for the past week, and I've bee so preoccupied that I almost forgot my birthday. My 30th birthday. Thank goodness for my wonderful friends and family. They managed to reel me in and make sure I celebrated this milestone in style. Stay tuned for more fun decorating entries.
