Today was an exciting day. Today our things finally arrived from England. It ended up taking over two months, but at last we have everything here in the states.
The movers arrived at 1pm and were done unloading everything an hour later. I suppose it made it easier that everything was just going into the garage and not being unpacked, but I was still surprised at how quickly they got it done. Now we have a mountain of boxes in the garage.
While it is a relief to finally have our belongings here (instead of at the bottom of the ocean), we don't really plan to unpack anything until we have a more permanent home. Hopefully that will be this summer. Sammy did, however, insist on opening one box of stuffed animals because she had missed them so much.
The biggest surprise was that our bikes were delivered DISASSEMBLED. When the movers loaded them into vans in England, they were in one piece. When the movers put them in the garage here at the Ostlund's house, they had been completely taken apart. I assume this was to make our total shipment take up less space, but it does leave me with a bit of a problem. How exactly do I get them put back together without any directions or tools? Thank goodness for wonderful home teachers!
