A place of my own ...

Almost a year after I signed the agreement, my purchase finally arrived.  It has three bedrooms and a partially finished basement.  My favorite room in the house?  The kitchen, of course.  :)

I bought the home because I didn't want to continue wasting my money on rent.  The amount of rent I was paying, I could put it towards a mortgage and have a home of my own in the end.  So it was an investment of sorts.  The area is very nice and the homes tend to hold its value.  The value of my home had already appreciated a week after I bought it.  I'll post pictures next week when my appliances have been installed.

It was a long time coming but I'm happy with the end result.  I want to say thank you to everyone who helped me over the last year.  Listening, supporting, and simply being there on-demand.

I know I have said that I will move back to Toronto one day.  Unfortunately, I am tied to Ottawa for the time being.  When things have been settled, I will plan my journey home.

Love Always,
Pudgy
