The first week of July has already been quite eventful, with a wedding yet to come on the weekend. Nicole and I made the decision to move from Renaissance Place at the end of the month, and have been successful in being approved for a house!
Not to buy a house, but to rent one...which is similar to buying one, when you consider the rent you pay, except you still own nothing. The house is basically right across the street from our current place, meaning we get to stay in the downtown rivervalley area! Not only that, but moving our stuff will be a snap. The house has what's commonly referred to as a "lot of character," meaning you'll either be repulsed by it or appreciate its inherent charm. I think it's great that the city of Edmonton owns the property and not some crack-house slum lord. The inside is in good repair, new furnace/water heater, paint, etc. They've maintained it very well.
I'm absolutely stoked about the idea of us having our own little home in the heart of the city! I'm confident we'll convert it into quite the cozy place. Maizey, especially, will appreciate the huge yard we've got, though I might be cursing it as I push around the lawn mower...
Currently: Reading the grande finale of Gregg's break-up letter to Jeremy; finally severing the ties of his homo-erotic fascination with the D-Man, and acquiescing to the idea of his marriage to Alex. Congrats!
