2000 was a bittersweet mwaka for me. This period saw the birth of my sister and our moving to a new house. While my mother was pregnant with my sister, she explained to me that I will be having a sibling soon, and that I will be a big sister when she comes out. I was quite excited and nervous at the same time. When the big day, June 13, finally came, my father and I went to the same hospital where I was born to meet my newborn sister. My mother was still sleeping when we arrived. And just like that, I transitioned from being the only child to the eldest child in my family. Realizing that taking care of the both of us is going to be really hard work, my parents decided to hire two nannies. One of them still lives with us today. The following month, we moved to our new house in a village called Marymount. It has three floors and a small yard. Before we moved there, our residence was my mother's apartment, which was located a little farther in comparison. She stayed there during her college years and the early years of her work.
The inayofuata morning, Rosie and Nicholas rode the Tube and got off at the nearest station to their college. After walking for ten minutes, they finally made it back to the neighbourhood they've known for four years. Nicholas alisema as they looked around, "Well, here we are once again. It's bloody amazing how this was our starting point for so many adventures during our muziki studies!" Rosie replied, "It sure was, sweet friend! Also, I'm glad that nothing seems to have changed since we graduated and left." Nicholas replied, "I'm glad about that, too, love." And so, they spent their visit kwa taking some picha while exploring the lobbies of both the buildings in which their classroom and dorm were located. They then ate breakfast at the same restaurant where Rosie had her first meal the siku after arriving in England.
