Turbulent Flow

Tonight Simon and I will take our first formal stab at blending our families by bidding on a house. Toronto real estate is notoriously nail biting with multiple offers and prices that everyone outside of the city consider to be totally insane. This place is in the trendy neighbourhood of Roncesvales near both Sorauren and High Park. I've never cared much about fancy neighbourhoods, but the proximity to 2 offleash dog areas makes the location pretty sweet. In well maintained condition with 3 floors of Victorian architecture and high ceilings it is definitely a place I could see spending the next 20-30 years living in. By bedtime tonight we should have an answer!

Of course, bidding on a house brings with it the very real possibility of having to prep and sell our current homes within the next month. A month where we've booked a 10 day vacation in Costa Rica (I know, poor poor me!), Simon is on a deadline to write multiple grant applications and l'm swamped with work and approaching tax season. Clearly we are completely nuts, but for a house that has everything we want in a home it seems worth the prospect of a very challenging February.
