a place to call home?

we made an offer on another house yesterday that was accepted. our home inspection is scheduled for monday. i feel trepidation, but optimisim. the current owner bought the place in 2010, and her home inspection went well. plus, she's done a number of upgrades since then.

i've loved living so close to friends. so has brendan. it's almost hard to imagine living on a street where we don't know anyone. but i remind myself that we didn't know ruth and himansu when i moved in on york street. and they've been a wonderful addition to our lives. i welcome this change.  i think it will be good to get out of my bubble and connect with more people. i certainly don't connect with people at my office. part of me hopes that living in kingscourt will expand the world of our community too, but i don't suppose it will. i was told once when i lived on york street that even that house was too far from downtown. the person didn't like going there because it was "too far".

it's a super beautiful house, and i'm excited about setting in deep roots there. to finally land somewhere lasting. since my mom sold my childhood home in 1998, i've kind of felt like i was drifting from place to place. the longest place i've lived by far was the maxi pad for 6 years. i feel like i'll finally get to exhale.

it's on brant ave if you're interested.
