Happiness is in coming home to someone

I know you're 1st thought was probably "is she married?", "in a relationship?", "Living in?"...

Sorry! None of the above. my friend Dipti moved in this past weekend with her dog Rudy who I absolutely luv and actually saw and played with before she even did. 7 years ago I had a roommate! Since then it's been solo show the whole way. I was apprehensive about having a roommate when I finally entered the off campus phase this May, but when Dipti called and asked if she could move in for a few months while she finished her dissertation, I didn't hesitate for a second to say yes. After all she's one of the main reasons I moved into Hidden Glenn to start with.

Dipti and I met 3yrs ago when I first moved to Tucson and connected instantly. Since then we've been pretty good friends and more importantly the glue that holds us together is our passion for the arts. We dance together regularly and talk art all the time:)

Anyways, it's been great to have her around the last few days. They've been tough on my poor brain and having her to listen and reflect has been what I've missed the most. As much as I've enjoyed having a place of my own where I can do what I want, when I want, I've always wanted to have the roommate experience too. I cooked last night, we ate together, I'm watching Rudy the next few days, the list is endless...

I'm happy and excited that she's living here with me. She's always been a great listener and has helped me rationalize through the toughest heartbreak ever. Added bonus she threads my eyebrows. Now I don't need to call her and schedule a time :D Small, but very important thrill in life!
