Finally Settled

As of a few days ago, we have finally gotten completely settled into our apartment. There are no more boxes left to unpack, no more piles of trash (mostly cardboard boxes) in the hallway, there is food in our pantry and refrigerator, and ALL, yes ALL!!! of the electronics are set-up. Actually, scratch that. The digital picture frame has yet to find a home on the wall ... but ALL the "necessary" electronics are set-up. ;-) We even found some time to decorate with our posters and diplomas.

Now we're down to getting things ready for school. Tyler already obtained his Washington State License because his Connecticut driver's license was going to expire in a few days. Waiting at the DMV was lovely. Of course, Tyler took one of his best pictures. He looks like he's about to kill someone: I've put it up in all it's glory, with the exception of the important info which has been properly blocked out for added security. :-)

We have also ordered a web camera so that we can talk "face-to-face" with some of you folks back home! We'll let you know when it gets here, should be within a few days.

Finally, here's a picture of our first official dinner in the new apartment. It's taken from the viewpoint of someone standing in the kitchen. We made Tyler's shrimp scampi recipe and complimented it with some of our favorite Riesling, Chateau Ste. Michelle. Keep in mind that at the time, there was a mess of random things directly behind us on the floor and into the hallway. This was taken last friday night (Aug 29th).
