Today was a momentous day in my journey of becoming a Mrs. A huge chapter in my book of life finally concluded-I moved out of my college apartment. Now, I haven't been "living" there since January, but all of my stuff (minus clothes, books and movies) from the past three years was still in the apartment. I rented the U-Haul and Matt and I went up to the beloved 232 Price Street apartment and I said my goodbyes.
The three years in the apartment with my two roomies and now closest friends, Megan and Kate were some of the most memorable ones of my life. That apartment saw a friendship grow between Kate and I-she was only supposed to be a summer sublet roommate, but I just couldn't let her go. Three girls in a one bedroom, I repeat, ONE BEDROOM! was awesome, I wouldn't trade it for the world, honestly. Those walls saw tears and heartache, they saw love bloom and grow (2 out of three of us are engaged and Megan will be someday soon to Michael) and most of all the saw three girls join hands and have a blast loving and caring for each other and driving each other crazy too!
Yes, we drove each other crazy. I can be a real "you-know-what," Kate never cleaned -well I know she did, but no one could keep up with Megan- and Megan well, she just had way too much energy. But our personalities all balanced each other out and since there were three of us we always had someone to talk to about the other person. Sometimes I look back and think I for sure had to be the worst out of the three; between all my tears, or fits of rage or sharp tongue, but Kate and Megan put up with me and continued to love me. Thank you. I think each of us taught each other something. Megan taught me that its ok to be a goofball, life is too short to take seriously. Oh, and she taught me how to accessorize. Kate taught me how to be kind and that it really isn't important to always say what you want, especially if others feelings are at stake. The comforting thing about today is, although I will miss those days in the little apartment I don't want to go back. I'm happy where I am-I think we all are. We've moved on. But, those three years will forever be stamped on my heart and mind and will bring not only a tear to my eye, but also a huge smile to my heart.
I love you girls! Cheers to three wonderful years-two for you Peg-and here's to where we are today.
I'm certain I wouldn't be the same without those years in that apartment with those two beautiful friends.
