Friday night. We were enjoying a quiet evening in, had rented a Christmas movie, planning to just chill and get some rest. While we were waiting for the brownies to finish baking (to complete the perfect movie night!), some how Erin, Jenny, and I migrated down to the "piano room" to play some Christmas songs and sing along. About 10 minutes into the jamming, the front door opened and I heard Jenny say, "YES!" from behind me.
Screaming. Heart pounding. Mass chaos erupting around us. There in the doorway stood my Kelly and her husband, Justin. Kelly and I were roommates at Taylor for three years, housemates for our senior year, and then we moved to Charlotte together last year. This school year was the first time in five years we hadn't lived together. While I love Justin and everything, it's been a sad adjustment. Not to mention their honeymoon was two months long and halfway across the world so we had hardly talked since August.
So, there they stood, in my house, in Charlotte. In the midst of recovering from that fact, Kelly shouted . . . (this is my favorite part) "We're MOVING TO CHARLOTTE!"
They moved here. And only 2.3 miles down to road. 8 minutes with green lights, 11 minutes during rush hour. It's seriously the most amazing event ever. I've thanked God for her hundreds of times since 2002, and I thank Him again that we can live in the same city for my last 6 months in America.
