Our Roommates

We’ve mentioned our roommates, Scott and Kirby, in a couple of other posts, but we never formally introduced them.


This is Scott and Kirby Fish. Scott and I became friends on our mission in Chile, and we ended up together again at law school at ASU. Scott is from Oregon (Salem, I think) but you can never get a straight answer from Kirby when you ask her where she’s from, because her dad was in the army and her family moved around a lot.

No one is really sure how we ended up living together here in Barcelona. We all kind of lost our minds after 7 days in the hostel (we shared a room there, too), and so we threw privacy and personal space to the wind when we were scoping out places to live. This apartment looked like a good deal to us, so we sprang for it and never looked back except for a couple of times.

A few of Scott and Kirby’s favorite things: Scott likes taking mate (pronounced mah-tay) and playing electronic yahtzee (don’t we all?), and, on a good day, you can catch him wearing a pink shirt. Kirby loves hot chocolate (Stephen’s is her brand) and is an avid blogger. You can find her version of our Barcelona Adventure at scottandkirby.blogspot.com.

Some of the positive aspects of sharing an apartment with another couple is that you’ve always got enough people to play a game. Only a few nights have gotten by without atleast a quick game. We play Phase-10, Skip-bo, and Ticket to Ride. Living together is working out pretty well. Alexa keeps the situation interesting, but Scott and Kirby are very patient with her, even tho’ sometimes she wanders into their room and other times she doesn’t want anyone to sleep.

So now when their names appear in our posts, you'll know who we're talking about.
