Wednesday also happens to be my birthday and truly, what more glorious way can you think of celebrating entering those late-twenties than by moving?
(hint: it's sarcasm)
The amount of memories 48 Barrington Green holds for me seems so much bigger than two years. Here are some of my favorites:
The Jam Sessions
These happened so often, Tillett eventually just left his extra guitar over at our place. Also luckily for us, Katie can harmonize like no one's business. Sometimes it was 2 am, with nothing but the glow of our fake Amish fireplace accompanying a soft melody. Sometimes it was 2 pm and my Texas accent wanted top billing. See some excerpts below:The Parties
I'm super glad for these late nights with both big and small groups of my classmates. My favorite by far was our Too Cool for British Rule party last July 4th. Reveling in that love for 'merica - always a good time.
The Flatmate
So let me tell you my first real memory of 48 Barrington Green. My parents and I get dropped off in a taxi the morning of move-in. The door is already open, a lady from our letting agency is finishing up check-in. I'm lugging one of my suitcases across the threshold when all of a sudden I hear a shriek of pure joy and feel JoJo Ginn pulling me into the biggest hug possible. All of this before I actually *see* her. It was the best first moment possible and is kinda a perfect symbol of our whole friendship. I'm so incredibly thankful for sharing this place with this girl.
The Barrington Collective
Our theatre company was born out of our living room during one of the many, many late nights Katie, JoJo, and I spent talking, laughing, and singing together. Katie, though not an official roommate, spends so much time with us she has a toothbrush and a spare mattress at 48. We became a trio of lifelong friends under this roof.
Sure the house gave us a few problems - the occasional downstairs toilet flooding and washing machine clog. But overall, this place has been pretty great to us. So in a few days, as a new 28-year-old, I'll try to say goodbye to this beautiful little place without ugly-crying.
(hint: it's totally gonna happen)
To 48 Barrington Green,
