Well, it's over. We flew back from Italy last Friday and spent way too many hours sitting on airplanes. We arrived back in New York Friday evening and were welcomed back to our "new" home with a full-house ready to celebrate a delayed Thanksgiving. We managed to stay awake for about three hours before crashing, but if you know us, you know that it didn't take much for us to get unpacked, moved in, organized, and ready for real life.
By the end of today we've already went to the DMV to get Mike a New York State driver's license, went to the dry cleaner, transfered our renter's insurance policy, bought some good winter boots, got New York library cards, I've mailed in my application for a new passport, we've paid all the bills, started getting our New York engineering licenses, and I've found an Italian conversation group that meets once a week in the city.
It still doesn't feel like we "live" here, but it's slowly setting in that this is going to be home and its not just a short vacation before returning to California. I think once we have jobs and our own apartment it will make it more official. In the meantime, we're taking care of all the mundane yet necessary tasks that always seem harder to do once you have a job.
Now that the vacation is over, we won't be doing daily blog posts any more (in case you haven't noticed). But feel free to check in once in a while as we may be posting general updates on how things are going. Thanks to everyone that followed us on our trip and we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
