I'm Aisha Roscoe and this is a Sunday story from up first where we go beyond the news of the day to bring you one big story.
At the end of the year,
I always like to kind of look back on the year that was and think about those things that happened that I'm happy about and those things that I want to leave in the old year and not bring it to the new.
This year, I have some really great things that happen to me.
And one of the best things that happened was I bought a house with my best friend.
Who's a jacket is this?
McKenna, is this your jacket?
Can you come get your jacket?
And now we are living together with my three kids and her two kids.
And we are platonically co-parenting and really living this blended family life.
Some people say, is it like the Brady Bunch?
Well, a little.
bit because it really is a blended family you know we get up in the morning we get the kids ready Jasmine takes them to school during the day me and Jasmine are working I usually do the pickups with the kids and then I get dinner started Jasmine helps with the homework and she also does the craft projects which is very important
because I don't like to do crafts.
And the kids generally what they're doing when they're all together is they are screaming and yelling and Pushing each other and you know hugging each other and playing and being nice and then be a mean and then complaining and then going to do basically like siblings They do all sorts of things they do makeovers on each other that has happened so it's it's a lot of fun seeing the kids really like enjoying each other and growing up with each other.
So the seed of this idea was planted back in 2024.
Both me and Jasmine had started talking about the possibility of us moving in together.
We were both recently divorced and we realized we needed help.
It's very hard doing this by yourself.
So why don't we try to, you know, be each other's support?
