Delivery

After patiently, well maybe not so patiently, waiting, our container that left Temecula 8 weeks ago finally arrived! Everything made it safely across the Pacific in one piece with no major damage (well except a few Christmas decorations)! We were so happy to have a few of our things that make us feel a bit more at home!
Now, where in the world are we going to put all of it?? I cannot believe how much stuff we still have even after we practically sold everything before we left!

This is Avery's room. She is so happy to finally have her bed. She has been sleeping on a mattress on the floor because her bed is the only bed we shipped since it was fairly new. I have no idea how we will be able to fit all of her furniture in her room. It is amazing how small the room seems when you throw a big bed in there!
This is the master. Our closet was full before the shipment arrived. At least a few of those boxes are bedding and pillows. I am not sure how we are going to get to our bed to sleep tonight...
The boys room/play room...except there doesn't look like there will be much room for playing!
This is our back deck. All of the items here were from our garage, which we don't have now. I have no idea what we were thinking!
This is a small storage shed that we were thinking we could put the bikes and some garage stuff...but it looks really small now. It also has a few spiders that have made themselves right at home!
Here is another small shed that we will have to use for storage (after we kill everything that is living inside)...still no idea how that is going to work!
This is our family room/dining room/office and basically our only "living" area...gonna be fun trying to fit everything in here!
I am very happy to get my "kitchen" back! It has been really difficult cooking with 2 spoons and 1 pot!
And here is the tub of Christmas decorations that I was so happy to see! We had received notice from Customs that they had to destroy a tub of Christmas decorations because there were pinecones (I think they were fake, even). But, luckily it looks like they only destroyed the pinecone and garland and not the whole box. Although, it did cost us a whopping $154 for them to destroy it!
