What They'd Notice
A
My room
We would make the most random remixes and rap songs on my piano-- me playing the piano and you rapping absolute nonsense. The piano is now in Adrian's room (as he's literally a prodigy??). Also, if you look closely, you're in a few pictures on my wall.
B
Empty sala
The good old empty sala. This is where we would do homework before you graduated high school. I remember having to help you on so many assignments, even though you were a whole 3 years ahead of me in school. This is also the only room (besides my room) that still has the same furniture from when you were still living in NC.
C
Your room
What used to be your room is now an official guest room and is 1) renovated with new floors, and 2) has two new beds instead of the old one (we gave that bed away to my boyfriend lol). In this pic, David stuff is in the bed because he's (surpisingly) staying with us for Thanksgiving.
D
The staircase
During the pandemic when no one knew what COVID really was, you would come over and sit on these stairs and talk to me while I stood in my room with the door open. This was how we talked while quarantining to keep distance lol. Who knew this would be one of the last spots we would "hang out" before you went to the navy.
E
Decorated (and new and improved) living room
New furniture unlocked!! (Plus the Christmas tree that I decorated all by myself)! From cranking music all the way up, to editing our Youtube videos when were vloggers to playing Monopoly until 2 A.M., I feel like this was the center of all our favorite things we did together.
F
Newly furnished dining area
Three words: the McChicken incident.
G
Backyard path
We have the iconic brick path to what used to lead to the trampoline. A lot of memories are tied to the trampoline, but I think the most memorable is when I locked myself in there after you chased me around the house because I made you mad lol. Although both you and the trampoline are gone, that brick path still leads to the memories. Also remember Poncho the frog? Well he died in 2020 :(, however, his cousin Juan Carlos is a regular in the yard and visited on Thanksgiving (look how big he is!!).
H
La piscina
The infamous pool. We spent hours in here during the summers, and came up with some of the most imaginative games ever haha. Of course, we can't forget about the diving competitions as well as the bird that landed and stayed on your head for like an hour.
I
Our driveway
This is where you ran me over with your car that one time. Also, the basketball hoop is gone! (You were literally the only one who used it lol).
J
Mailbox corner
This is where we said goodbye before you went off to the navy. Crazy how it's almost been 4 years! (Also, the mailbox is STILL broken).
