Move In Day

Fall is nearing us....we think!

So, we have finally moved into our house. It was definitely a euphoric day for us as the moving truck rolled in with OUR things! Mason was indeed happy, but he quickly got impatient to have everything of his brought out. We worked on his room first and things are definitely coming together, but it is still just a house and not a home. I have come to the realization that no matter what 'home' amenities I have, it is going to take a while to get used to all of the differences. Move in day went pretty smoothly and to be honest, we only had one real casualty as far as broken items. A kitchen chair was broken but we have hopes that it can be fixed. We also are missing our stroller and one or two boxes of clothes/pillows. As all of you army wives know, we will put a claim in and sometime within the next century, they'll help us out with it. We have worked our tails off the last 4 or so days trying to get everything in place and we are quickly realizing how much bigger this house is than all of our stuff is. We went to one of the stores today and spent a ridiculous amount of money on a few items that we really needed and we were able to bring a few of them with us, but we had to rent a truck for 2 weeks from now to get the rest because we didn't have room in our car and Brent leaves for the field for 2 weeks starting tomorrow. Luckily, for Brent's sake, we already have phone, internet, and 1o whole channels of English programming! Out of the many threats to move back to the United States, without these things while I'm by myself for 2 weeks, I seriously might have gone back without them! So far I have only met one person, so needless to say, I'm dreading these 2 weeks. I have posted the pre move-in pics on facebook, so check it out!
