Homeless for now--August 31-September 17, 2006

Well, it's official. Steve and I are no longer living in NYC. In fact, we are homeless at the moment until we move into our temporary flat in Geneva (32, rue Zurich).

Moving day:

Our entire lives in a Durango....

Yes, that's right. This is the vehicle we used to move our belongings up to Syracuse. We were suppose to have a minivan, but Hertz did not have any available at the time we requested the car. But, Steve improvised as you can see ( 3 feet of our stuff on top of the car. The box spring makes for a great holder). It took us 6 1/2 hours to get up to Syracuse when it usually takes about 3 1/2. And, I got to sit with a tree in front of me during the entire time. It was like I was in a jungle. Oh the joys of moving.


For now, we are spending time with our families on both sides of the coast (and in between). For labor day weekend we went to Columbus, OH to spend time with Gandma 'Nette. We shopped at Nordstrom, watched Buckeye football, and ate french toast (as well as other delicious Gandma 'Nette delectables).

From Columbus, we continued west to Liberty Lake where the Tichy family reunited for the first time since Christmas. For (less than) one day, Annie had all her kids home. We had a big picnic with Greg's ribs...yum, yum. Steve and I stayed a few extra days at Liberty Lake and relaxed. Our days consisted of water skiing, eating Greg's food and drinking granitas.

Now Steve and I are in the 'Cuse (that's Syracuse for those who don't know) for a week before we take off for Geneva. Our time will be spent making our "Save the Dates", packing our backpacks for our great adventure and hanging out with friends and family.
