after our masterful negotiation of a 14 foot uhaul*, two cats and a crapload of belongings, we found ourselves on our new street in brooklyn. with the help of a small, but stellar moving crew*, we were able to put all the boxes we had so recently packed into our new apartment.
so, one week down. i can't say we've figured it all out yet, but we have been pounding the pavement in a few different ways. b's had some fancy meetings, i've had a couple of teachy interviews and we've both worked tirelessly to unpack all of said boxes.
the apartment is coming together and we're learning more and more about our neighborhood by the day. turns out you can get really cheap chinese food and incredibly delicious fresh mozzarella within a few blocks of our abode. exciting. there's also too many cute restaurants to count and a lady could do some real damage at les shoppes as well. alas, we're attempting to keep it frugal for a bit at least until we start making the big bucks.
*there's no real way to thank the folks who helped out in the box-carrying extravaganza both in chicago and new york. however i will say that a true friend is one who will help you move. either that or it's your sister. regardless, whether you helped move a box or just had a few nice words to say to us before we left, i thank you from the bottom of my lil' heart. you have made me so happy.
