Places I once called home

Thought it might be cool to document all the places where I have lived at in the last six years.

Terrace View, Blacksburg, VA: (Aug 2000 – June 2003)

1. Lived in three different houses in the same apartment complex.
2. Lasting memories:
1. My daily struggle to catch the 8 am bus in the middle of the snow season.
2. Roanoke star
3. Drives to the Mountain Lake in the middle of the winter nights.

Oakton park, Vienna, VA: (June 2003 – September 2004)

1. My first experience living in a city (ok ok suburb of a big city)
2. Beautiful top floor apartment overlooking a well manicured lawn and an urban forest.
3. Lasting memories:
1. M’s weekly trips from Blacksburg and the ensuing confusion on whether to pick her up from the north or the south side of Vienna station.
2. 5 hour struggle in 45F to set up the satellite dish in time for the 1st one day match of the India-Pakistan cricket series.

Harbor Heights, Seattle, WA: (March 2005 – September 2006)
