Settling In.

It has been five weeks since we dipped our front tires in the Atlantic Ocean. In that time, we have moved back to Milwaukee, found an apartment in Riverwest, antiquated with our friends and are on the hunt for employment. Finding a place has been a huge step in our settling in. Most people we knew in Milwaukee our first two years had probably never been to our first apartment next to Marquette, and for good reason. It was a shoe box filled with books, bikes, colored pencils and everything else. But the prices was right, and because of that apartment we were able to fund our trip across the country - it was worth the sacrifice! So our next apartment we wanted a few things: more space, to be closer to our friends, a yard, and to be able to have a cat. We found one with all these things. It's your typical Riverwest upper floor apartment. Which, for those of you who do not live in Milwaukee, means it's a quirky little place that could use a little tender loving care. The best part is, our landlord doesn't care what we do to it. So as you could imagine, within the next few weeks we will be able to put some Ault flare into it! The first improvement was painting our previously black and uninviting door blue to match the rest of the doors and trim on the house...and painting a cat on it. MEOW.
