The end of Q-203

We met at Northwest as clueless freshman and after graduating, the four of us moved in together into a two bedroom apartment (and slept in kids' bunkbeds from Ikea). Five years later we are all parting ways and entering new seasons. 


This one moved into her new place a month before us cuz she got hitched. She has a pretty sweet voice, has a weird obsession with cheesy Christmas movies, is notorious for being clumsy, and loves breakfast. I present to you Amanda, Amandz, Manda, Manda Manda Bear:

This one loves to bake, is crazy good at organizing (puh-lease be my wedding planner?), has a split personality when she is half asleep, loves to go on walks (all the time), and belongs in the 19th century. I present to you Hilary, Hilz, Hil, Aceboonkunz: 

Hilz and Antoine (unofficial 5th roommate)

This one is bilingual, makes you feel like you're one of the cool kids, has a ridiculously large music collection, makes you jealous when she busts a move, and has a welcoming heart (and closet!). I present Teresa, Ter, Tea, Tree, and Pips: 

Our last night together in Q-203, I drug my mattress into Hilz's and Tree's empty bedroom next to their mattresses on the floor. It was bittersweet reminiscing about our first impressions of each other, spur-of-the-moment music videos, road trips, and our failures and accomplishments as friends. We laid in the dark room talking about where God was leading us, how He has called each of us away from Seattle (Teresa to California and Hilary to Tanzania for four months) and our hopes and dreams about our future plans and families.  


Goodbye Q-203. Goodbye my dear friends. You have etched your way into my family tree, dear sisters. Thanks for making the past five years an adventure. I can't wait to be a part of your lives as you start families and follow God's unique plan for each of your lives.
