From Strangers to Flatmates

Whew, from strangers to flatmates—what a ride! If anyone had told me I’d live with a female housemate for a year, I’d have been shocked at the idea, but we did it! It wasn’t always smooth sailing, but we made it work, and despite some downs, we shared a lot of highs.

I had the chance to see layers of you that not many people get to, and the same for you—you saw me in so many different lights. Life happens, and I’m grateful for the experience. You were a great roommate, and honestly, if it wasn’t working, I wouldn’t have stayed for a year. You were there for some really special moments—when I got the ring and all the excitement that came with it, and when the wedding plans were finally coming together. You lent your ear to all the plans and supported me through my long cycle rides.

We had some great times, and I truly hope that in the coming years, we can build on the best parts of our lives. Thank you so much for being here today and for your thoughtful gift toward our wedding. We appreciate you more than you know!
