After size months of being in storage and floating in the middle of the ocean and sitting in customs, our shipment finally arrived a couple of weeks ago!

To prepare for this special day (which thankfully came without complications of any kind), we had to move all of the furniture that came with our house. Most people here coming from the US only bring small furniture and personal items because the house is furnished already, but since our belongings were shipped from the UAE, we were required to bring everything we own here--couch, bedroom set, tables, everything.

This is only about half
the boxes unwrapped! |
Some of the sweet workers here helped move most of our living room furniture up into one of the rooms we are now using as storage. Then the moving truck arrived with 150 boxes that make up our traveling home--only a few minor casualties! After a week of redecorating, the house is finally feeling like our own--pictures and all. While we have learned to be content without our things for long periods of time, it sure is nice to have our familiar comforts--even if we cannot use that patio furniture for a while.

our media cabinet! The packers did too good
of a job this time. |
Here are some before and after pictures of our home (still a work in progress, but you get the idea):
