New Dresser

When I came to law school all I had was an acceptance letter and my bags. I had no computer, no car, no place to live, nothing! Starting from scratch to build a life here much of 1L year was spent trying to find a dresser. I had a walk-in closet that had shelves for clothes so I didn't really need one at the time but I really wanted one. Then, I moved into a house that didn't have a walk-in closet or shelves but there was an extra desk in my room so I just used that to put my clothes on for 2L year.
I wasn't going to try and find a dresser this year because I just have one year left but I still always kept my eyes open. Then, one day while my friend Candace and I were walking around Downtown Lynchburg I looked into a storefront and saw dressers as far as the eye could see. It was an old antique furniture shop (My dresser's not an antique. I think it's probably from 1976). They had some beautiful dressers! Mostly expensive of course. I kept wandering around and as I got to the very last dresser it caught my eye. It looked quite similar to the dresser I have at home in OR and it was not too expensive.
As soon as I opened the drawers I was sold! The bottom board of each drawer has a print of Americana pictures! I was shocked! Who finds such a thing in the bottom of a drawer?!? It was totally me! I definitely believe that finding this dresser was Providential!
Since I finally have a dresser I figured it would be a perfect place to display my pictures of Texas from this summer. When I went to Hobby Lobby this weekend I stumbled upon a big sale that included western decorations. Below are pictures of my new dresser and decorations. I haven't had a chance to print off my pictures yet but as soon as I do the frames will be filled with people that I actually know! ;0)

What a beautiful dresser! I love the story of you finding it or should I say it finding you. I hope you plan on bringing it back with you in May.
