Am I dreaming?

Sorry I don't have pictures yet...A BIG YET, cause you will be getting pictures galore of this enchanting place. I just wanted to give a quick update.
I flew in yesterday morning and my breath was even taken away by the landing. The place is so cool. I was picked up at the airport (by the way I got chills coming out of the airport in AUGUST...I am in for a humbling winter...haha) by one of my roommate's friends from the ward and at first look at her, I knew she had to be sisters with my good friend, Karen, from Kansas...small world! She drove me up to Charlestown and I was wide eyed the whole drive. Charlestown has a unique look to Boston. The Houses are all touching down the streets and are tall and brightly painted. The streets have cute side walks with flowers baskets, big old trees, street lamps. It is the cutest place. It seems very family oriented, as there are moms strolling babies around and families outside gardening.
Our house is no exception to the cuteness, from outside we have steps leading to cute big door and the whole house is so, well, nothing like anything I've ever lived in before. It has small choppy rooms, but makes up for that 10 fold in character. I live down stairs and the door outside my room opens up to our porch that overlooks a green little viney garden. I can also see Bunker Hill monument from there. I ate lunch out there today in absolute perfect weather. My sweet roommate Meg (who I already know is going to be a close friend, all of my roomates are fun I'm really excited) was so nice to take me to get a bed and some other things for my room when I arrived. Our house needs some work, so while she was picking up a few things at home depot, I decided to get some paint for my room. I also noticed next door they had a Target, and that assured me that I wasn't in a foreign country. I got bedding there and now I am excited about my room decor plans. I took a 'before' picture so that I could show you all the 'after'.
I really like my neighborhood. I have already made friends with the neighbors and everyone here has been so friendly and nice, with great accents . This morning on the walk home from the grocery store I saw really cute flowers that someone had just dug out of their garden and placed on top of their trash pile, so I picked them up and they made a lovely little arrangement for the kitchen. The land is green with all these original character-rich houses amongst it. I feel like I'm dreaming, I really do.
Well, thanks for reading this journal entry type post, I hope to get you some other stuff soon. I think I am going to go paint my room so I can start to feel settled, our entire house is filled with boxes and furniture, we are all itching for it to get in place so that we can feel like it's home (and I can start sight seeing!!!) Love you.
