The Big Apple


Well we're here and settled. It's been difficult keeping up with everyone so i'll try the blog thing again, though i'm not that good at keeping it updated.
Daniel has been hard at work as soon as we got here and he will most likely be going to Mali, Africa at the end of November. I will have to miss this trip but hopefully will be able to tag along for the next one.
The apartment is looking good. Only a few boxes to go, though there is only so much room. We actually have lots of rooms, compared to the last place :) but not that much storage. Well, we are using the Kaplan storage facility on Long Island (aka parents garage) I believe my dad is regretting offering the space. What can I say between art work and being a pack rat i have a lot of shit.
The front room is my studio/office. Which is great and terrible. I am able to do art work whenever I feel like, a few minutes here or there but the bad side is it can be 3 or 4 days before I leave the house or shower.
Hey, I thought the grunge greasy hair look was back.
I guess I've been so occupied unpacking, getting things settled and looking for work but now I need to start getting out there and exploring the city.
Don't get me wrong we've done some exploring; checking out the village, Little Italy, China town. Went into some galleries, the Guggenhiem, Natural History Museum, walked around central park. I just need to do it a little more through out the week.
Though I did find an aerial dance class I've been going to on Sundays. It's kicking my butt and feeling great.
I can't believe it's only been about a month and a half since we got here. It feels a lot longer.
I even got a NYC driver's license, the photo looks terrible and I forgot the marriage license when I went so I will have to go back to get one with my new last name.
Well hopefully I'll keep updating the blog and let everyone know what's going on with us.
later.

  1. Storage facility at thy parents is a green way to keep things. Otherwise their space in the garage is just wasted.
