Last August, I bought a condo in my hometown of Medford, MA. I’m the oldest of the four Nevers children, and somehow found it only natural to invite my two younger brothers and sister to be my roommates. Reactions to our living arrangement are usually of the suprised variety; how four brothers and sisters manage to get along — let alone live together post-parental involvement — seemed a feat to most people.
Believe me, it is most times.
The dynamic is unique and always evolving, but all-in-all I think we’re getting close to mastering this roommate thing. I’ve decided to kick up a blog to chat about the day to day; from shared meals, to looking after our newly-acquired kitty Gunga-galunga (yeah, I didn’t name him), to the many dimensions of our shared living environment. Thought people would be interested in how the four of us keep things copacetic.
So welcome to my blog. Ironically I’m not at the condo now for the first post, but when I left an hour ago, Erik, Travis and Amber were ordering take-out from Tasty Gourmet. I look forward to you meeting everyone through the course of our days and to sharing a bit about the trials and tribulations of making family your roommates. Not only that, but doing so from the city in which we were all raised - hub of the universe, Medford.
Enjoy and stay tuned.
