Home Sweet Home

This is what I looked like during my whole trip around Europe. Huge bag on the back, day pack on the front, messenger bag on the side, and my canvas Verona bag on my shoulder. I thought I would get one last picture of the whole get-up on move-in day! I have no idea who the people in the background are, but they look really scared of me and all my bags!

This is my new bedroom...I bought all new linens and decided to go with a burgandy and black motif...I actually bought black sheets! I feel so sophisticated! And sexy...just kidding Dad! The walls are very white so I'll have to get a lot of posters to put up to add that special Amanda touch!

And the living room. Yes, that is a fireplace and it WORKS...with real wood...or coal...or something...but basically I can light a fire and be nice and toasty. And yes, that is a TV, WITH CABLE so I can get caught up on all the North American shows that are starting a season behind over in Ireland. No couch, so hangover days are going to be killer, but super comfy Ikea chairs!

This is the kitchen...very nice...we have a full size table with lots of chairs so I can start to have dinner parties, once I make new friends of course.

Yup, that's our fridge! It's built in and looks just like a normal cupboard! I know you are all WAY jealous!
