We have furniture!

That's right, our stuff arrived today! We were greeted with this sight around 10am:



I was driving Scott to work, and he finally got ahold of the movers, so we stopped in, Scott got his truck, and we headed home to get things ready.

The beauty of using movers is that for the most part we could just stay out of the way:



And then we watched the neighbour shovelling his driveway...and dumping the snow onto our yard! We thought this was terribly funny, and it was tempting to go shovel the snow back onto his driveway. ;)



Once the movers piled all our stuff inside, we set about getting things organized.



This is what it looked like at the beginning...it seemed pretty hopeless...



And this is where we managed to get it tonight!





*You'll notice the wicker basket in these pictures...that wasn't actually ours, but the movers couldn't figure out who it belonged to, so now it's here! I keep expecting a snake to come out of it...

We still have boxes everywhere, but they're under control (or hidden in closets) for now. We'll work at getting everything unpacked or stored over the next few weeks. This place is temporary (3-6 months, hopefully), so we only wanted to unpack the essentials. Our place isn't huge, and we'll have to eat off tv trays (no room for the kitchen table), but we've managed to make it cozy. We probably won't post as frequently now that we're settling in, but we'll try to update once a week or so. Thanks for reading!!
