Greetings from San Francisco!

I am all moved into my apartment.  YAY! I detest moving and I hope that I don't need to move for a while.  The moving company I hired was great.  They moved everything from my storage unit to my new apartment in about 2 hours or so.  Lucky for me it wasn't raining too bad Saturday morning but the rest of the weekend it was raining pretty hard.  My sister was around this weekend and she helped me unpack, clean up and organize the majority of my things.  I still have a couple of miscellaneous boxes but I need to figure out whether or not I am going to keep them.  I already have a box of things that I am donating to the Goodwill.   

 

Last night was my first night in the apartment and it felt like I belonged there.  I have yet to meet any of my neighbors but that will come with time.  The location of my apartment is close enough to shops & restaurants that you can walk to them but far enough that it feels like a safe neighborhood.  I got really lucky with the location of the apartment.  One block north and you have multi-million dollar homes with the Pacific Ocean as their view.  I am literally 3 minutes away from the Golden Gate Bridge and found a short cut to avoid traffic to get to Marin.  I really, really like my new place.  I can't wait to shop for some of the items that I want to get such as shelving for the bathroom, shelving & rug for the living room area, some frames to hang some of the posters that I purchased and a mirror for the hallway.  Those are just some of the items on my list.  I organized my bookshelf by colors a la Apartment Therapy.  I will post pictures once I feel like I have completed the décor process. 

 

When I woke up this morning, one of the songs I heard while getting ready was Jill Scott's "Golden".  Today, I truly felt like I was living life like it's golden.
