Also, an account of how many times I've moved
- Yacolt, Wa. I lived in the house that my parents built until I was 11. In fact, my mom went into labor when my dad was doing the insulation.
- Pine Haven, Wy. We moved for about four months when I was in 4th grade.
- Yacolt, Wa. Back to our house for the rest of 4th grade and most of 5th grade.
- Longview, Wa. My family moved to a rental house in Longview while we built our new house.
- Buhl, Idaho. I went to live with my aunt, uncle and cousins in Idaho for the rest of 5th grade and some of summer.
- Rose Valley (Kelso), Wa. We moved into our new house.
- Bellingham, Wa. I moved into the Alpha dorm at Western Washington University.
- Kelso, Wa. Back home for the summer.
- Bellingham, Wa. Back to Alpha dorm for my second year of college.
- Kelso, Wa. Back home for the summer
- Bellingham, Wa. My third and final year I lived in a house called The Mansion, with 9 or 10 other women.
- Oakesdale, Wa. I moved in with a girl from The Mansion. Her family had a wheat farm and I was planning on going to school in Spokane after my year off.
- Spokane Valley, Wa. I moved in with a girl from work towards the end of my year off and through part of my first (summer) semester of grad school.
- Spokane, Wa. I lived in an apartment on the South Hill. Ironically, I found my roommate online and she was the best roommate I've ever had. She was going to grad school on my same campus and getting her degree in physical therapy.
- Bainbridge Island, Wa. I did my internships in Bainbridge (schools) and Silverdale/Bremerton (hospital). I lived with my gracious aunt and uncle through my internships and until the end of the summer.
- Mercer Island, Wa. My first apartment. Oh how I loved that place.
- Kelso, Wa. I moved home for the month before our wedding.
- Kennewick, Wa. Our first home together, I moved in after our honeymoon. It was the perfect first home/apartment to start our marriage in.
- Richland, Wa. Our current location. What a blessing it has been! I can't wait to see what God has in store for us next.
And there you have it. Oohh the places I've been!
So, I lived in Alpha my second year at WWU, which would have been the 2002-2003 school year. Did we live there at the same time? Is that where we met? I apologize for not remembering properly. I thought we met doing NSSLHA stuff, but come to think of it, I recall Katie or Shae or someone not knowing who were and I knew, so maybe we did meet before. I'm terrible. :)

My husband has moved so many times that it is quite hilarious to listen to his family debate over the order and the houses. I have probably moved about the same amount as you. By the way, since my blogging has slowed to a trickle, I was thinking about borrowing your idea. :). Maybe then I would get more than PL and RT done in a month.
ReplyDeleteLisa... I'm terrible too I guess because I don't remember meeting you in Alpha! Maybe I recognized you from Alpha but I remember meeting you at NSSLHA too! I lived in Alpha 01-02 and 02-03, on the third floor both times and to be honest I don't think I could have identified most of the people who lived on the other floors!
ReplyDeleteJulie - you should! It's been good. Sure there are days where I just post fluff to post something but I like that it has helped me make time to get more of my thoughts in writing.
