Lease day

Today we sign our lease! Marcy and I found an absolutely wonderful house for rent in the very south end of Scarborough near the Bluffs. Three bedrooms, newly-done kitchen and bathroom, a huge living room and dining room and more backyard space than I think I’ve ever had and you’ve got yourself an amazing deal. The landlord (though he doesn’t like to be called that) lives around the corner and is more concerned that we’re good people than generating revenue. We turned on all of our charm when we met with him last week because when we first arrived at the house it was open but the guy (Leo) wasn’t there. I poked my head in and told Marcy that she had to see this place because it was really incredible. It even has a red door which has been one of Marcy’s wishes for some time. After looking around the house we knew that if it was offered at a reasonable price then we would be willing to take it. Fortunately a reasonable price it definitely is and we have our place to live in past October. Hooray! I’m pretty excited about this because we’ll both be a lot closer to work (I estimate 30 minutes by transit for me) living in a house (that’ll be so great) in a nice neighbourhood.

From now until then though we have a whole lot of packing to do. This time around we’re getting professional movers for the furniture because we’ve accumulated several more pieces and it’s the furniture that’ll wear you out. Boxes of books and such I can handle but bookcases and the like are no longer my domain in the moving sphere.

I’m going to take my camera with me tonight so that we can post some pictures of our new home.
