A Couple Great Big Steps

Last time I posted, I hinted at a few big things that I wanted to talk about.

First of all, recently I've been thinking of buying a house out here. I've found a realtor, been looking at a few places, and will probably settle on one in the next month. The whole process is a bit nerve-wracking. I'm looking to get a house that I can work on, but I don't want to end up with a total piece of shit. I'm also trying to get a place within walking distance of bars, shopping and parks. That rules out houses in one of those generic housing developments, which is fine with me, but pretty much every house in downtown Vancouver is turn-of-the-century old.

Buying a house comes with that certain sense of settling down, and with that comes my second tidbit of news. I asked Ewa to marry me on April 18th... and she said yes of course. So now there is a wedding summer of 2007. Ewa is moving out here in a little more than a month, and I hope to have the house situation mostly taken care of by then. I'm pretty damn psyched about this, since Ewa and I have never actually lived within less than 2 hours apart before except for a few weeks in the summers. All our time spent together thus far has had a certain intensity because we always knew that it would be limited, and now we'll actually have a chance sit back, relax and enjoy being together, without having to worry whether we are getting everything done that we'd planned to do.

Bling!

Well, that's the news for now. I'm running behind on some posts, and I've got a few written at work that need to be posted. I'll try and be a little faster with the posts in the future.

As if anyone cares.
