Well yesterday was a big day for us! The rest of our household goods arrived. It was a little overwhelming but wonderful. The movers were very friendly and worked fast. They had everything loaded into the house in about 2 hours. The way they load everything is by crane. I have attached pictures so you can see. We are on the 5th floor and they just brought everything up to the balcony by the crane and then into the house. It was very cool!

My sponsor Vicki came over and helped me unpack and stay organized since David had to work. With her help we got the entire kitchen unpack and mostly put away. I am still trying to figure out how I want everything to go. So far only a couple of things have been broken. They broke off two of the hooks on the coat tree that Grandpa Fuchs made me and a couple figurines.

Oh and our mattress didn't make it. Evidently our moving company only asked for customs clearance for 4 crates instead of 5. The 5th crate being our mattress. The moving company has assured me that they will deliver it sometime this week but we will see.

My goal for today is to get all of the boxes unpacked so I can have the moving company come pick up all of the empty boxes before this weekend.

I am still missing a bunch of furniture which the Embassy owes me but has not delivered from the warehouse. Once I get those pieces we will be all set. I am hoping to start to decorating for Christmas this weekend!

Well hope you are all well! Love from Athens....
