Just wanted to let everyone know that yes, the shipment did arrive, and yes, we made it through move-in day. The computer got lost in the fray, so I have been unable to update everyone on our progress until just now when I found it again. The mess is unbelievable. They came in and emptied out all the boxes - dumped in piles on the floor - and left. We are slooooowly sorting through everything and putting things away. I will post the pictures as soon as I find the camera.
But to sleep in our own bed again! Ahh! And the house is not nearly so loud and echo-y now. And we have our patio furniture, so we can enjoy the lovely weather. It's great all around! Just a week or two more for us to absorb everything, and we'll be in business.
Two thoughts I will leave you with. First, it feels SO much better to be here and have our stuff back. Feels familiar in this foreign land. Feels like home. But at the same time, it's sad and scary - feels like "now we live here." It's a feeling of permanence. There's no going back now. Home has been re-established, and we live in Saudi Arabia now.
So happppy for to have your shipment! I can (on a much smaller level) relate! Now on to adding even more to your household...a baby girl. Don't forget to post pictures of your last few weeks (or less) of pregnancy! We all want to see your beautiful belly!
