Our House

We moved into our new home today. We moved in at about 8am, and by 2pm we had the following brought to our house, for us to use for free!: Beds, dinner table, four chairs, one couch, two lounge chairs, three chest of drawers, two nightstands, a microwave, four lamps, a TV, and a TV stand. We were also given pots, pans, plates, cups, silverware, knives and other cooking utensils. All thanks to your tax dollars. Thank you. We went shopping and got some basic food and drink items, but we are weary not to buy too much since we already own most of what we need, it just isn't here yet. So now we are in a three bedroom, two bathroom home, with enough furniture to fill a small one bed room apartment. But at least we have something to eat on, cook with and sit on.

And we have cable tv and internet. The internet isn't nearly as fast as it is at home, but decent enough to use Skype. The TV is supposed to be only six hours behind you guys, which puts things on an hour later than they should be. So if you watch something at 10pm we would watch it at 11pm our time. I think. I still haven't figured it all out yet, as it varies by chanel.

Christine says hello and we will update you tomorrow.
