Moving on

We have only just passed the first official day of summer, and I already feel like summer should soon be over. I'm not sure why... I guess it warmed up a lot earlier than it did last year, but I've also been pretty busy this last month. As the end of June is approaching next week, so is an important day for Tyler and myself... the closing date on the purchase of our first house! I am saying first house because anyone who knows me knows that, despite the fact that I will be legally bound to this place more-so than any other place I've lived, I still don't intend to stay forever. Hopefully there will be more houses in more cities (countries?) in the future...if I have my way!

Buying a house is an exciting event, but I am also a little bit sad about moving out of our apartment. It's been a good place to live for the last 2.5 years. It has given me the most stability I have known since leaving my parents' house. This may not seem like a big deal, but considering that in the last 8 years I have received mail at 10 different addresses, it is to me. I'm not the kind of person who desires stability, but I do feel a little attached to the place after living here for over 2 years. And while I feel ready to move on to a new country, hopefully the move across the city will be satisfying enough.
