Sorry!

Well crap it's been a long time. Finally, Lindsey and I have an internet connection (wireless through the house which I have just to decided to try and sell to the neighbors for $10/mo.). So, we're moving on up. We have a fantastic little apartment in Duluth, MN, about three blocks from Lake Superior, six blocks from the grocery store, and we both have jobs as of this week. I had been playing house-husband for about a week and a half while Lindz went to work and I wandered the streets, rode the bus, and generally looked homeless while trying to find a job. I was starting to get nervous because I was applying at call centers and restaurants, not exactly my dream job. Yet, it all worked out. I found a job working at a small GIS (computer mapping) company, which is exactly what I wanted. All the guys in the office seem really nice and I'm just so lucky to have gotten what I wanted. So, things have been great here thus far. Duluth is actually a cool little city, it has great views, parks, two micro-breweries, jobs for us, and buses (we don't have a car yet).

Well, we still feel like we've just moved in and we're just trying to get used to everything. Finally, we're starting to figure out our little neighborhood and realize there are fun things to do in this country. So, tonight we're going to a hockey game, which I'm super excited for and we've also been to an open mic, farmers market, and a grocery store with regular food, oh, and you can go to really good restaurants here (in the USA). So, we'll try and keep this updated a little better now that we're not trying to use free dial-up.

Here's me celebrating my birthday on September 23rd. I got some pretty sweet stuff, including this world atlas and some Adidas Samba K's.

Lindsey and I tried to cook a Chinese dinner on one of our last night at the Aysta house, it turned out pretty good, but it sure didn't taste like the Chinese food we remember.

Here's a shot of our bedroom, it looks small here, but it's actually really big, with two huge closets.

Here's the kitchen table Mr. Aysta made for us (Lindsey and I stained it) and the living room straight ahead.

Here's the living room, it's quite large has nice high ceilings as well.

We finally had a chance to put up our Chinese scrolls and there's our sad little TV with rabbit ears (rocking 4 channels).


Here's the kitchen, nice and big with lots of storage space.
