I'M EXHAUSTED JUST TYPING THAT.
Any of ya'll live with me any of those places? Any of ya'll move as much?? (I might even beat cc?!)
we move every three years and I THOUGHT THAT WAS A LOT. but since we have been married (almost 5 years) we have had three addresses.
ReplyDeletebefore marriage, my family and i would move about, every two years.
if i don't move every 2-3 years, i get antsy, i have to have change.
Ha! Actually, you and I may have crossed paths during your BU and then Allston/Brighton days! Weird! I went to BU (graduated in 2004). I lived on Quint Ave (which is off of Gardner) while you lived on Gardner. Small world :)
ReplyDeleteAnd of course, we established before that we share GD roots...albeit mine are via marriage but we are up there at least once a week.
I hate moving...I don't know how you managed to do it so much!
I moved about 10 times between ages 18-25. But my arse done been planted since then.
ReplyDeleteCan I take this little timeline to mean that you moved in w/CC after knowing him for only two months and at the ripe young age of early-20-something?
DIRTY SCANDALOUS HOOTCHIE McCOOTIE!
I can only say I'm pleased he put a ring on it in time, but was it too late for your virtue? Perhaps, Perhaps.
So says the person who waited a whole two dates to consummate my relationship w/Husband.*

I can only count up to 15 places, and that's when I got back to ninth grade and include my four dorm rooms in boarding school - seems not so legit.
ReplyDeleteHOW do you do it? Moving makes me all antsy, though I do love to unpack in a new place...

@jessica: moving a lot when you're younger is hard! i didn't move from age 7-18, so i had it easy for a long time :)
ReplyDelete@mamatully: we were there at the same time! nutty! i graduated 2004, too (did my sophomore year only at jmu)...where'd you live frosh year?? what was your major?? nutty connections, lady!
@nav: you are quite astute, mama...i moved in waaay soon. eeps. and because you used 'consummated' you're a lady not a tramp. and you held out longer ;)
@cc: we'll call it a draw, dude. harper will probably rebel and stay in one place foreva once she's outta our pad.
@em: and we basically just walked around in our undies all the time?! lucky noah...love hearing from you -- i hope we can catch up for real sometime!

Yes! We are nomads too... more like gypsies at times. Moved countries, towns, cities and a ton of crappy/okeyish/amazing/wrong houses or apartments. We even lived in a hotel for a while. It's kind of crazy, but we love it!
