In heart ache or hope, i swear i'll say amen....

The floors are crooked, the windows are drafty and it was built forever ago. 

It has hardwood floors, it's in the heart of cathedral hill, and it home to all my favorite things. 

From the outside it's pretty ordinary, but it's really anything but. 

It's my first apartment. My first real, adult apartment. It has a lot of windows, and a beautiful view of downtown, and it's the place where i feel most like myself. 

It's a collection of hand-me-down dishes and furniture with little splashes of newer things mixed in. It's eclectic. Perhaps a bit more shabby than chic, but upon entering the doors, you can see that this place is well loved as are the people who call it home. 

The wine bottles on the window ledges each have a story, or a pretty label....or both. They are reminders of all of the good times, the laughs, the stressful nights, the tears, the "i just need some wine" days that have been spent here.  

Perhaps the most importnat and unique quality of 178 summit is that two best friends live here. Two girls who are just trying to figure out how to be on their own in their 20's. 

In 2 months I have to move.  i have to leave this perfect area, with the great view and Hans, the quirky parking lot guy....who was the first person we met when we moved it.  I leave the cathedral bells and the 1.6 miles from the gallery, and my best friend.
