Riley and Sarah

Sarah recently celebrated her 26 birthday. As a tradition, we always take each other out for a birthday meal; she usually try’s a new, local restaurant whereas I have chosen Arby’s the last five years running. 

During these meals we always take time to reflect on the previous year. As we went over the highlights of Sarah’s 26^th year, we were reminded of how many different places we’d lived in just 365 days. 

Home One: We started in our downtown apartment, but as the responsibility of working full time and caretaking for the building grew, we needed a change.  

Home Two: In April we began renting a basement from a friend in Charleswood. Moving from the city’s core area to a suburb on the edge of town was a big change. We lived there until July, when we then became “vagabonds”.

“Home” Three: For the next four months we travelled through Europe staying at hostels, hotels, and with people we met along the way. 

Home Four: Upon return to Winnipeg in December we had another set of friends welcome us into their home; a cozy two bedroom apartment. Coincidentally they have recently bought a house for themselves and we will be moving once again.

We have had a lot of change over the last year. It’s been a wild ride that I wouldn’t change it for anything. I am excited to see what the next year brings and to continue this adventure called life.
