after much humming and hawwing over decision-making, alex and i have decided to stay on the sunshine coast for the next year at least, and see where that takes us. we found a home and it kind of seduced us into sticking around. not-so-brief description: a 1942 house on a grassy hill across the street from the ocean; it's in a little area called grantham's landing where my best friend emma grew up, an ideal location because it's about a five minute walk to lower gibsons and a long but doable walk to the ferry and my parents' house; two bedrooms with a view of the beach, ocean and coastal mountains; meticulously well kept; wrap-around veranda with views; south and west facing so lots of light; a big cherry tree in the yard; an outdoor fireplace; and gardening space. we're pretty excited about it.
we really wanted a place where our friends from out of town would feel comfortable visiting, and this is definitely the place. we're also excited about not being able to move about three more times in one year, which, left to our own devices, we could otherwise talk ourselves into. we're staying at my parents' for the month of april. let's just say that i'm looking forward to having our own space very soon.
congratulations.
