For my friends and family in Texas who have been waiting for photos of the new place, here’s a video tour instead!

So for the past 6 years I’ve been blessed with the most amazing sunsets in all of Los Angeles. My new place is just as incredible, but at the start of the day instead of the end. I’ve seen some of the most beautiful sunrises since I’ve moved to Topanga a couple weeks ago. It’s hard to miss them as the sun pokes its head over the mountain right outside my bedroom window:

After weeks of cut throat negotiation, stress, excitement, wonder, confusion and a touch of remorse, I will finally be moving into my new place in Topanga this weekend! I’m on a six month lease while I try to secure a loan to eventually put in an offer and hopefully buy the place.

My PODS storage container was delivered this morning and I start moving stuff into storage tomorrow. I will be taking a handful of boxes with me over to the new place, but most everything will be tucked safely away in a storage unit that I will probably never even see in the heart of beautiful south central los angeles. I opted for the insurance just in case. =) I don’t want to get too settled in just yet because I could end up moving out in 6 months if things don’t work out.

Keep your eye out for pics and vids of my new treehouse very soon!
