Yes, it's true I got my own apartment! As I think everyone knows, last year I gave myself the deadline of March 20th, 2011 to be out of my parent's house. I had a lot of options on the table as to what my next move would be from quitting Bain and moving to Argentina to London to buying a house. I feel like I did my prayerful due diligence to figure out what the best option for me was, and after trying numerous ways to get to Latin America (or Madrid) with a job, I realized that for right now that option isn't open to me. And I'm totally ok with that bc I know it's not a now or never thing and if the right opportunity comes along I can take it. In the meantime, I'm going to live it up in Dallas and start creating a home for myself - something I haven't really ever done. And to be honest I think I'm equally as excited about it as I would be if I was moving abroad! I mean they don't have Mom-maws and Erik, Becky, Eli, and Chloes in Spain ;-).
So without further ado, I present you my new pad. It is a one-bedroom apartment in downtown Dallas in a historic building called Mercantile Place on the 24th floor. It is a corner apartment so I have double exposure to the South and East with amazing views and natural light. One of the neatest things about the building is that in the 1950s both my Mom-maw and Pa-paw worked in this building which is such a special thing for me, and, not to be the corniest person in the world, but I just feel like it was meant to be.
You'll notice I don't have a lick of furniture - so please consider this a Before and hopefully I can wow you with an After in person! Of course you are all welcome to visit any time, and I really hope you do!

Gorgeous and congratulations! We're actually hoping to visit Dallas in May so maybe we can see it live then. Will keep you posted.
I love big rooms with kitchen islands. And I love views.
Now, all you need is some fluffy bedding and a big chaise and a cup of coffee and I'm in heaven.
SO excited for you to pick out all your new furniture!
