Once I move to my school tomorrow, I will have lived in seven homes in the past year. Seven! I suppose that’s the life of a twentysomething vagabond. So, in honor of the great people who have lived with me this past year, here are some home highlights from January 2010 through January 2011:
January 2010 – May 14, 2010: lived in “The Kissing Booth” at Vanderbilt, Towers 4, floor 13 with Kelly, Sara, Mallory, Lauren, and Melanie. Sweet times living near good friends. Highlights included Waffle Wednesdays, a live Christmas tree, and knocking on the wall with the Soul Train.
May 14, 2010 – July 30, 2010: home sweet home in Glenview with Jen and my Bobby McGee. Laid back summer at home full of good food, puppy time, weddings, and lots of Playtime Pals.
July 30, 2010 – August 18, 2010: Sweeeeet Dissssspooooosition with Kiely, Steph, and Paige, dear friends who let me sleep on their guest bed as I resettled in Nashville, much to Ben’s despair. Highlights included snuggling&giggling, one surprising kitchen critter, and real good heart to hearts.
August 18, 2010 – September 18, 2010: lived with ROOMS: long-time BFF Jon. Highlights included surviving without a couch (aka training for Namibia), eating too much funfetti, cooking really delicious meals, and sitting in front of the worldmap dreaming about travelling.
September 18, 2010 – December 18, 2010: lived in Lenox Village with sweet Grace friend, Carlye. Beautiful home, cute neighborhood, and many new discoveries in a new part of Nashville. Highlights included wine & The Event on Monday nights, cheese grits, and vegging on her suuuuper comfy couches.
(December 18, 2010 – December 28, 2010: moved back home for my interim week...celebrated holidays and enjoyed time with the fam)
December 28, 2010 – January 16, 2011: moved to Namibia, “lived” in Windhoek and Tsumeb.
January 16, 2011 – beyond: PSSS, Ondangwa Region, Namibia. Lived with Mamiko and...other roommate(s)? Highlights will include EVERYTHING.
Mostly excited about finally settling, but also a tad anxious. What if I feel too antsy to stay in one place in two months? It will be an adventure, for sure. Here’s to growing up and becoming more of a “real” adult.
Rejoicing in (future) consistency, and irreplaceable roommates of the past!
Praying for you today.
