No longer homeless!

I finally have a home!!!!

And I cannot thank Jade, Kelly, Maddie, and Shirley enough for all their hospitality. From the beginning when I didn't know where I would stay they offered me a couch. The first night Kelly and Maddie even gave up there beds for Stephanie and I. Every night since then I've been sleeping on the super comfy air mattress and  hogging their living room. I really don't know what I would have done without them and hope to repay them in many chocolate croissants.

This housing search has been a struggle. In the beginning I had a possible roommate my friend Sarah had helped me find on Craigslist. This girl seemed nice and  it really seemed like the only option. Stephanie went with me to check it out in my first day in Sacramento. This was also the day I learned that the name Jayden can be both a female OR MALE name. He was a very nice guy, but he was 33, a nighttime nurse, and owned the condo. I just wouldn't have felt comfortable living with a total stranger, who was much older than me, a man, quiet, and had a lot of ownership over a space that would be shared.

Needless to say I'm so happy to finally be in my own place!  I'm living with two other people from City Year! And neither one of them are 33 lol. I moved all of my stuff in today and they'll move in on Monday!  I didn't realize until today that  this is the first time since June that I haven't been displaced.  It feels so good to be in my own room! Send me mail!

Home is where the heart is!
