carrying all of our most beloved treasures (ha!), pulled in (taking down only small trees and weak branches)thereby ‘delivering’ us from simplicity. As you can see from the picture below we were floor to ceiling in boxes, our house runneth over.
When I arrived home from my first day on the job I found Trina digging out from the storm that the movers called ‘delivery’ and Jasmine was perched high above the rest of us ‘lowly’ family members on her kitty tower, which was also precariously balanced on two large boxes. Get her down, you say? And take my life into my own hands? She’s lived a long, full life, come what may. I'm just kidding (mostly), I would have assisted her as necessary but she seemed safe and content.Since that massive delivery 5 days have passed and we are delighted, perhaps even proud, to say that all of the boxes are emptied, and removed from the premises (thank you craigs list!). The kitchen became fully functional the day after delivery, and we have been eating off of our clothed table dressed with colorful plates and glasses ever since. Our books are sorted. Clothes are put away. Pictures are hung (well, all but three). New roman shades are hung in 10 of our 14 windows (Lowes ran out of blinds!). New dressers and TV stand have been assembled. The internet is very officially, and wonderfully, up. We feel pretty darn close to being set up!
So, enjoy the pics! It was an intense journey that has involved a combined total of more than ten days of driving, unpacking and getting settled without a day off (are we crazy??). Currently we are fantasizing the arrival of our newest family member, the air conditioner (we will reveal her name when she arrives) and about having a ‘down’ day together to explore our new city this weekend.
