A few things... thats all

*sigh* Another big hurdle cleared... if not a tad slowly. We recieved our household goods today. The movers arrived at 7:30am, we literally rolled out of bed to answer the door. They were here till around 2pm. Remember, three flights of stairs carrying everything that we own. There were only two men doing this and they hand carried everything in! No snazy way of getting around carrying each box up. But its done, and now the large task of unpacking begins.






This is about 1/2 way into unloading.



This is the Girls hanging in our bedroom to stay out of the way of the movers. Note the bed that we borrowed, yeah they didnt come to pick that stuff up till the poor movers were bringing up the last three boxes. Talk about over loaded!




This is the second bedroom, most every box went in there, and this is only midway through. We ended up filling the room up and just shut the door and started loading things into the middle of the living room.




You might not be able to tell but at the base of my couch is a smattering of rice, yes I said rice. It would seem that the magical rice fairy visited our couch while on the boat on its way here. All my boxes were intact and the couch was completely surrounded by seran wrap. Plus, there was about the amount of two boxes of rice in it, I dont own that much rice. We still dont know how it got in there.

K, so I video taped the progress of the move, this would be the first installation, about an hour into the move. I was still perky, I just had a cup of coffee I am sure. :0)

This is later in the day, I will explain in the video how things are going. I think this was around lunch time, which would mean my coffee buzz is worn off AND I am starving. Fun Times!

Ok, this is later in the day... much later, around 5pm I believe. We shut the front door and I crashed on the couch, once I could find it. Jim was adorable and headed in to play trains with Carmen. Rosemary was, thankfully, taking a nap. She was super tired having missed both normal nap times.

Hi love! I'm glad you had fun making tasty necklaces. :) I hope you're doing ok unpacking. Did you get your stuff earlier than you thought you would? PS I like the rice couch. That's a special touch.
