Reunion

This is our reunion picture. When we first clapped eyes upon each other in the airport.

Off Into the Blue Yonder...

We have moved. I will always be a NYer at heart, but I am no longer home. You know that feeling of infinite suspension you get while looking up and swinging? Your feet kick back to arc you to earth and towards the sky again, taking your breath away. That's how I feel right now. I am excited to meet new people, try new things, venture into the new.

However, I almost cried my first day here, when upon ordering subs at a Safeway (grocery store), I was told that I would need to call ahead the next time I wanted to order five subs. Five subs was apparently an overwhelming number of subs to make. It took her 20 minutes. In NY, that would have taken maybe 5-7 minutes for all five. I wanted to pull my hair out, and I think I looked at her cross-eyed from disbelief when she told me that five subs was too many.

Anyhoo, I got my military ID card yesterday, so I am now able to get on bases, buy goods at the commissary and exchange, and use any other military benefits.

It is really weird to see people saluting Nathan and calling him "sir." I am sure I will get used to it eventually, but it is so foreign to me. I like it.
