Adulthood, here I come!

I'm 26 but don't really feel like an adult yet. I clearly am one, or am becoming one at any rate. I'm hoping to buy a house with my fiancé this year and, potentially (money dependent!), get married next summer. Two huge steps in life that kind of define you as an adult.

And although, I may not necessarily be excited to be growing up and becoming a full-fledged adult *gulp* I am pretty excited about a lot that comes with it: House hunting! Wedding planning! Babies!! (....ok, so really - the main things I don't like about being an adult are money and bills. Duh. Way to be original, Mia.)

We've started the house hunt - looking at houses, townhouses, condos. We're not going to actually buy until later in the year but what's the harm in looking and seeing what our money can get us?

My wish list:
- 2 - 3 bedrooms
- 2 bathrooms
- good amount of outdoor space to entertain
- dining room
- hardwood floors
- stainless steel appliances in a nicely done kitchen
- closets (walk-in, please!)
- good neighbourhood (ideal? Leslieville)
- close to transportation
- close to grocery stores, restaurants, bars, life!

I don't want much, right?! ha! It's called a wish list for a reason, people! I know I'll have to compromise on something...ok, a lot of things. Especially in our price point. But a girl can dream!

So here's to growing up and adulthood! It's pretty much upon me, might as well embrace it and enjoy the ride.
