for instance: how do we clean the apartment effectively without slacking in doing our own part? how do we pay the bills/rent? should we split the rent and bills 4 ways and share the rest of our money in common? what do we do when someone doesn't pull their weight? being friends, what happens when we end up hating each other? do we keep our arrangement, or do we salvage our friendship? what does community living look like? are there rules? should we look at ourselves as individuals who live together or as a body of christ trying to do life together?
we shall see. tonight is our first house (family) meeting. it should help us sort out some of these details. community living won't be easy, but it could be good for all of us to grow up a bit... like we need to.

hopefully, this many days in your roommate situation is going well. At least in my experience, as long as any issue is well communicated as soon as possible things seem to work out ok. Letting things build and fester is no good. But I've been really fortunate with my roommates (my brother and the Phils) all being top notch.
We just got back from Belize and had a great time. Being psuedo-tourists in the off-season is a great way to go. Hope all is well.

i saw the pictures, and it looked amazing. things are good here... but it seems like we have to keep cleaning things over and over again. no big deal. that's the life
yes, yes, we were very blessed in our trip.
and yes, nothing ever stays clean. it's really interesting.
