I graduated.
We sold our condo.
I quit my job.
We had a garage sale.
We moved to CA.
I started a new job.
We found an apartment.
We never want to leave.
Nat and I feel really blessed to be where we are. Not just because we're by the beach, but also just how the last few months have played out. Finding a job the suits my personality so well, selling our condo smoothly (relatively), and finding a place to live that is close to work, close to the beach, and close to friends and family. 4 months ago I thought I might be taking a 45 min subway into downtown Boston for work at a really stuffy consulting firm. Instead, I drive 8 minutes to work never hitting traffic, park in my own spot, stay as long as I feel like staying, come home spend time with the Nat and Beck, go the the park, maybe play some tennis, or paddle out for a sunset surf session. Granted, work will not always be as relaxing as it is right now... I'm enjoying it while it lasts.
Welp. Here is our little home by the sea...

Natty--Anth and I are moving in next door ASAP! What a great life...even a BBQ! It doesn't get any better. I love it! Can't wait to see the pics of your room and Beck's room. Love the spice rack Clark!! Are those magnetic? I can't wait to see it!!!! It's so cute Nat!
Place looks amazing!!
I love everything. Its so light and airy and refreshing. Very beachy feel! I love all the sunlight. I'm jealous...I need some sunlight in my life. Luckily today was a beauiltiful sunny day here in the city...nothing like the beautiful skies of CA though. Tell Clark to stop rubbing it in that he gets to spend so much time at home while Bennett and I don't see andrew all week! Ha! One word...jealous
Nat! Is that the couch you were telling me about having made? It's GORGEOUS, I love it. Now I need to come see everything in person.
Its funny that you felt the need to let us know it's not done... because I was thinking how great everything is looking! I'm a big fan of your reading nook. Sadie & I want to come visit this week... I'll give you a call. The new couch looks great & everything looks so bright & fresh, can't wait to see more. xo
I loved seeing the place all decorated and what not. There's such a good vibe going on in there! I love how you walk in and see the view from the big window! Nat- will LOVED the "hot for hillary" shirt and has worn it twice since his birthday! good eye.
I am super impressed. You've inspired my hopes for apartment living. Do you really have your own market on site? We can't wait to come and see you and the place in person . . . next week!!!! Love you!
Wow. It looks fantastic. I just kept thinking (at every new picture!) what good taste you have. I love your reading corner best!
SUper CUte!! Are you guys over by Lido?? I recognize the shopping center. Looks like a GREAT location. Enjoy!
Terrific update and as far as decorating goes, that's pretty darn good progress already. Your place looks beautiful!
(Plus, we're so SO glad you're here and staying =) Good choice.)

LOVE your place, Natalie you are so good at decorating! We want to see more pictures of Beck though!! I can't believe he'll be 1 tomorrow! Time flies.
