The Shipment came in

Friday morning is here! We are officially starting to move-in all our stuff into our small apartment. The awaited shipment finally came in! 

I can’t believe the day has finally come!  It feels like we have been living out of suitcases for over five months.  Between two assignments and vacation in July going to Salt Lake, it has been a long process getting settled but it is so exciting to finally see it start to come together now. 

For the last five months, we have been wearing the same clothes, eating out at various restaurants because our kitchen utensils had not arrived plus it was a good excuse not to have to cook. I used a plastic cup to roll the dough when making cookies because my roll pin was trapped in customs.  It has been a huge challenge for us so we are all anxious to start putting things away to make our new space feel like home. 

Daniel cancelled all his meetings today so he could be home to receive the shipment. He is busy tomorrow with meetings so I would have to do most of the unpacking myself but that is o.k. since we are given ten days to unpack and report anything that came broken. However, We need to hurry and get it all done with weekend because on Monday we are off to a seminar for a whole week. 

One big item we had purchased came broken and that was very disappointing. This was a nice 5 feet mahogany jewelry chest with nothing inside it but we forgot to leave the key and the guys at the customs had to break it open.  The next few days are going to be intense to get everything open before we leave on our trip in two days so we will be rolling up our sleeves and getting busy hauling boxes and unpacking the next few days. 

I will post after shots once we get all moved in later in a couple of weeks.  Have a great Saturday everyone!  The weather is beautiful today so go out and enjoy it. I must stay in. 

Con amor,

Vero
