We finally moved to our OWN place. NO roommate! I am so proud of us and so grateful to the amazing people who helped us along the way.

I know how to write a thank-you note, and I always do it. I was raised to say please and especially thank-you. Since I have no car, any time I receive a ride somewhere, I always try and say thanks a few times.
Equally important is my gratitude to God for the immense blessings I’ve had (and continue to have) in my life. God has put the most incredible people in my path, and led me toward opportunities I never imagined. For that I am grateful.
I am pretty straight up about certain things. If someone asks my advice, especially if we are close, I wont mince words. You’ll often hear me begin with “Okay, listen, I’m just saying….blah blah blah”.
Similarly, I will embarrass myself for the sake of making you laugh. If you call while I’m in the bathroom, I’ll call you back and say “Whoops, sorry about that, I was pooping. You know how it is”.
