We Have Home Goods!!!

So only 6 months later, our home goods have finally arrived!

We woke up this morning to a bunch of ruckus outside, only to find out that the big lift had arrived to deliver our home goods.  I was quite excited to finally have some utensils and other things to cook with.  The movers were Flemish, much nicer than the French Belgians.  They worked harder than any other movers I have ever seen!  Since the Christmas lights were still up down the streets, they could not use the lift and had to use a rope to pull the box spring up for the bed.  It was amazing how smoothly they did this!

All of Our Stuff

Once they were done, I offered them sandwiches, but unlike the boys I know (cough, cough... Dustin... cough, cough)  they politely declined.  So far we have only found one item broken!  We tried to get rid of the cheap bookcase from Dustin's apartment, but the garbage men only take items in bags.  We left it on the curb, so hopefully Belgians are somewhat like New Orleaneans, and it will be gone in the morning.

Dustin had the day off so he could be here when the goods arrived!  Thank goodness because his motorcycle will not fit through the door and the battery was dead, so he had to walk it up hill to park it in one of the public garages.  After all the moving was done we did a little shopping!   I am so glad we found some different craft stores.  I have to get on Jen's DIY kick so our apartment looks half as nice as her house!

Our Fireplace!  Still in the box
but not for long!!!

I found a couple great ideas and we also got a new fireplace!!!  We have been looking at the bioethanol fueled fireplaces for a while and really wanted an indoor/outdoor one to use here.  They are so expensive, but luckily we found a decently sized one.  The box had been opened to use as a display so it was marked down from 229 Euros to 171 Euros.  You know me: the deal was even more exciting than the fireplace!

I have some unpacking to do before bed but I'll definitely post pics once we have the fireplaces together!
