Yesterday, our shipment from the U.S. finally arrived. At first it was a little overwhelming. The movers brought in box after box and stacked them in our very small living area. (I actually think this picture makes the room look larger than it is.)

We immediately started unpacking. It felt like Christmas because it had been so long since we packed the stuff, we forgot exactly what we had sent. It also felt like we had just been hit by a tornado, considering the amount of packaging that was soon strewn around the room. Nothing was broken, though, and we only had one minor disaster:

I guess that when the movers were packing, they must have dropped this game. The box for the game was completely sealed shut, and all of these cards were scattered outside of it. This actually took my husband quite a bit of time to sort out because the cards were all mixed together and stuck between the folds in the box. While he did that, I tried to find some room in the kitchen cabinets and found some interesting items left by the landlords or a previous tenant.

The phone and some similar things found their way into the trash, and we made some room for more relevant items. All of the boxes are empty now, and we just have a few more things to put away. Once it is all in place, it should definitely feel a little more like home. As a mini-celebration, I already used many of the kitchen items (measuring cups, measuring spoons, cookie sheet, mixing bowls) to make Christmas cookies this afternoon.
