It’s been an eventful week for us here in DC. On Wednesday,
the moving company came to the apartment to do our pre-pack survey and figure
out how much stuff we were moving and storing. We actually don't have all that much stuff. It's a nice feeling.
Chris spent all day Thursday test-driving cars while I spent
the day figuring out some HR-related things for the move. We’re now the proud
owners of a 2005 Honda CR-V, which will sit on the lot at the dealership until
we can arrange for it to be shipped. So we checked “buy a car” and “get
international car insurance policy” off our list of things to get done.

Friday night we ate dinner at a delicious Middle Eastern
restaurant – we’re 99.99% certain that the guy at the table behind us was Kal
Penn, from the Harold & Kumar movies (also a former Obama White House
staffer).
On Saturday, we made our final trip to IKEA to pick up a few
random things and also went by AutoZone to buy what we hope is two years of miscellaneous
car supplies (wiper blades, air filters, headlight bulbs, oil, transmission
fluid…) to ship over. Our apartment is starting to look more and more like a
hoarder lives in it…and I’m pretty sure all of the checkout clerks we’ve
encountered in the past few weeks must think we’re crazy.
Today we pretty much crashed…a delicious brunch, naps, and
now cooking one last Thanksgiving meal (just sides, because that’s the best
part!) while listening to Christmas music. By the end of this week, the
apartment should be pretty much organized for the packers and we should have
our plane tickets to Georgia. Crazy.
Until next time…
Perhaps you can name it "the Blue Maize" as a nod to your time at ACG that got you here and for learning the streets of Tbilisi.
