Roommates

You know, when you are living away from home, you need good roommates. People that you can depend on, laugh with, talk with, and just share life with. Stacey and Tracy are just that. They are pretty great. We are all different yet get along so well. All three of us are teachers so we have similar schedules, same days off, and lots and lots of stories! If you were to sit in our apartment on a given night, several things could happen (besides the shouts and smells of Fulton street). Stacey often comes home and has a story to tell about one of her sped kids. Tracy comes home with stories of how she has to "whip" her students into shape and show them who is in charge. My kids are older but nonetheless, are teenagers so everyday I am reminded of my highschool years and how in a few years time, things have changed for our youth (can we say, Pokemon?)

My favorite are the days when I come home and Stacey has picked up something sweet for a treat or Tracy decides she is in one of her baking moods. Be on the lookout for Tracy's Bakery coming in the near future. Then there is the countless episodes of "Lost" we have watched and analyzed and analyzed some more together. We've spent many hours working out together and being okay with the fact that we look ridiculous doing squats in our living room!

Being that we are women, we are constantly chatting. There is usually friendly teasing taking place and at times, serious discussions about our past and current issues of life. We listen, offer our bit of wisdom and move on to the next topic at hand.

Weekends we like to explore. We never will exhaust the restaurants to try and there is always a farmers or flea market to explore. We walk quite a bit in this city just exploring.

The list goes on and out of respect for my roommates, I won't reveal everything about them :) but if you are curious, come visit. Many have enjoyed our hospitality. I'm thankful this day (and everyday) for great roommates that I deeply enjoy spending time with and getting to know. A true blessing in a city where it is easy to get lost in the crowd.
