Palace fit for a princess...

Just a few weeks ago, I received the keys to my new apartment. I knew packing and moving would be a lot of work but wow! Thankfully I didn't have to do it alone but it did take about 12 car loads.

This is what my apartment looked like when we finally got all my stuff in....



I had a couple weeks to get everything situated and when my parents came to visit for Christmas they brought some final touches. So it's time to start the tour...

As you walk in, you enter my living room:



Sharing the space with my living room is my desk/office area:


A bit further is the sun room that I have turned into my reading room. I highly suggest this chair to anyone looking for a comfortable lounging chair:



My dining room:


My kitchen:



My bathroom:


I now have a guest room that is open for anyone interested in visiting Winter Park :)


Lastly, my room, but more importantly my amazingly comfy bed!



I've had a great time moving in and finding the perfect place for all of my things. Of course, there are still projects I'd like to complete but it is really starting to feel like home.

July 4th

Just a quick post about July 4th :)

It was one of the greatest weekends I've had in Winter Park since I came down a year ago!

My parents and Sammy drove down to visit me for the weekend. They stayed with me in my apartment (which they loved :) and pictures will be coming soon!). For the 4th, we drove to Leesburg for a baseball game between the Leesburg Lighting and the US Military All Stars. The opening ceremony was touching and the game was very entertaining. And believe it or not, the fireworks show after was one of the best shows I've seen. The best thing about the whole day was that I was able to spend it with my parents and Stefano.

Here are a few pictures:
