Our empty house

I have had several requests for pictures of the house. Sadly, we are still waiting for our household goods to arrive. They are allegedly at the warehouse in Aviano but we can't get anyone to call us back about delivery. Our housing situation isn't the worst. We met a family whose stuff went to the wrong base so they are definitely still waiting for delivery. Oops! Our friends, Hanna and Kevin, have their big shipment but never got their unaccompanied baggage (i.e. the small amount of stuff that you want right away - sheets, towels, some kitchen stuff, etc). Somehow, the delivery date for their UB was listed as August 31, not July 31. When Kevin called to find out where it was, he was told that it had recently arrived in New Jersey. Keep in mind that it left San Antonio near the end of June. The woman then told him that his UB was to go to California, then Germany, then Italy. Quite a trip! So really, things could be worse. I am just excited to get the house together.

Thankfully(?) the Air Force helped us out by loaning a couch, kitchen table, and chair. Thus, here is the extent of our furniture:



Does this remind you of some sort of waiting room?



Our lovely air mattress. Notice the fan in the corner. We can't use it because it is American and we don't have a transformer with a low enough voltage to run it!

  1. The couch and dining room table remind me of the Club Foyer study lounge! On a more serious note, I love all the LIGHT in the house! :)

  2. You know what? I was actually thinking the same thing about Club Foyer but forgot to write it. How funny is that? Hopefully these aren't as dirty and haven't been exposed to as much excitement as the CF version!
