What I Want to Know Is, Where Did It All Come From?

So, while we were in NJ we sent a shipment of stuff to us in OK. It was all the stuff that had been lying around our parents house (and friend's house) since we got married and moved to Germany. While we were in NJ we also got a phone call that our first shipment of stuff from Germany arrived and to call when we got back to OK to have it delivered.

On Tuesday, Josh called Housing to set up a day and time to have our stuff delivered. They said they would bring our unaccompanied shipment on Tuesday (the little bit of stuff from Germany) and our second shipment (the stuff from NJ) on Wednesday. Groovy.

Well, Wednesday morning, Josh left for work (you know, the hour of work he has to show up each day since he's no longer on leave and his class doesn't start until Monday). Shortly after leaving, I received a phone call from Housing and the woman there starts talking about the shipment we have scheduled for that day. Apparently the shipment coming yesterday, the one we thought was our stuff from NJ was actually ALL of our stuff from Germany. WHAT?!? We had no idea it was even here (or even close to being here for that matter) and here's this lady talking about how it was coming in an hour minus one crate because it got left behind somewhere and is currently making it's way here. But that wasn't why she was calling. That I find humorous, as I would have been incredibly shocked when the guys showed up with five crates of stuff instead of half of one. No, after going on for five minutes about the stuff from Germany she let me know the stuff from NJ arrived also and would we like it delivered yesterday as well.

All this to say that our stuff is here! Well, most of it. But, our stuff is here! Our beds are here! Minus the bedding for our bed and the screws to put Zeke's bed together. But our beds are here! YAY! This means lots and lots of unpacking will be going on here for the next few days. I will try and post about our last week in NJ and get those pictures up by the end of the weekend, but right now, getting these boxen out of my house is a little bit higher of a priority.
And boy, do we have a LOT to unpack. Again, what I want to know is, where did it all come from? And don't say Germany. I may have to roll my eyes from this side of the computer if you do.

Oh the joys of unpacking!!! What fun! Tom and I got rid of a lot of stuff here once we unpacked it. Mainly because we didn't know how to get rid of big stuff in Germany. So we basically shiped our junk to CA. Hahaha. I'll be sending happy unpacking vibes your way. That's never a happy time in our house! Welcome to the states! :-)
