Buongirono!

I say this often, but this week’s update is brief. I got my COVID vaccine booster yesterday, so I’m not feeling great, and there isn’t that much to share this week.

We are waiting on apostilles on a number of documents, translations on everything, and the re-correction on Grandma Florence’s birth certificate. Thanks again to all of you for your helpful getting POAs sorted and apostille requests mailed off.

If you are looking for something to do, feel free to take a look at the spreadsheet on Google Sheets that I shared with you around August 31 or September 1. I sent it in an email with the subject line “Individual Citizenship Spreadsheet.” I am not hurting for cash or anything, but if you want to budget for the next few months, now might be a good moment to look at the spreadsheet to plan ahead. I am estimating that we will end up spending about $1000 total per person — you can compare that to the “Current Per Person Expenses” cell on your spreadsheet. 

Over the next couple of months, we will be paying for translations, shipping to Italy, and our first installment of €400 to our lawyer. I would ballpark that this will cost each of us about $150. You can take a look at your spreadsheet to see if you have already prepaid or if I have spent some more money since the last time you sent me some money. You can check out the group spreadsheet with all of our shared expenses here, if you’ve curious how we figured the per person expenses: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rlZFc6zo8fXnzQwqUZ83_1G5dEpa9AhEzJtrNXQsfcM/edit#gid=797361960

I hope you are having a good weekend! Enjoy the fall — the changing colors of the leaves, the crisp air, the apple cider and pumpkin spice… So much to love.

A Presto,

Noah
