We've parted ways...

...well, kind of.

Kendra started work on Tuesday, and I'll be starting next week. In a sense, we're moving on from each other, considering that since July 18th, we haven't been apart longer than a few hours, but we're just becoming responsible members of society again. You would think that two people spending that much time right next to each other would get a little tense, but that hasn't happened. She's a good person to move to NYC with :)

As far as my extra week off, I spent all day Tuesday in the park, trying to get a doctor's appointment on Wednesday, figuring out logistics for living here on Thursday, and finally going to a meeting and trading in my license on Friday. The DMV here wasn't so bad, but I was a little upset to have to hand over my California driver's license. Even when I asked if there was any way to get it back (you know, for sentimental reasons) all I got was a cold, "No" and was sent on my way. Now in 2 to 3 weeks I will be official with a New York State ID card. Wow. For a girl who never thought she'd leave California, that's kind of huge.

Kendra's been doing great at her job already, even if it is a bit intimidating. She was told earlier this week at a bar that she's "probably the most accomplished person in here" when she said that she works with pediatric brain cancer. I'm so proud of my best friend!

Once I start working, we'll give another update. We're really getting settled now and absolutely loving it. We were talking about how it will probably really feel like home once we have a routine, which is also in sight.

Now that you've heard from us, make sure to leave us messages of encouragement as we start being real grown-ups.
