Today our air shipment came. All morning I sat by the window, listening for the truck to drive up the street. I was so excited when it got here, I rushed downstairs to open the door.
I’ve never been so excited to see ten boxes. Well, maybe at Christmas when I was little.
Our shipment included:
-
pots and pans
-
halloween novelties
-
Kaitlyn’s plastic pumpkin
-
big bin of Kaitlyn’s clothes
-
towels
-
sheets
-
thick blanket off our bed
-
alarm clock
-
my turtlenecks and sweaters
-
the rest of Bill’s hanging clothes
-
my hanging clothes I know I didn’t want airshipped (two sleeveless blouses? Please)
-
coats for each of us
-
two pairs of my shoes (including boots Kaitlyn now wants)
-
Kaitlyn’s second car seat, so both cars can always have one
What our shipment DIDN’T need:
-
towels (what was I thinking?)
-
sheets (what was I thinking?)
-
alarm clock (that needed to be in the suitcase. We ended up buying one at the Atlanta airport, and, boy, what a good idea that was of Bill’s)
-
most of the hanging clothes of mine that came
-
I’m undecided on that thick blanket
What our shipment SHOULD have included:
-
pillows. The pillows here stink.
-
Some of Kaitlyn’s toys
-
some of Kaitlyn’s books
-
another book or two in English I can read
-
Yahtzee
-
more dvd’s
-
more hangers (especially for Kaitlyn)
-
the rest of the extra soap and toothpaste and stuff I bought to stock up on that will be long gone by the time our sea shipment makes it here at this rate
-
pictures, to try to make us feel more at home. Thank goodness Chris gave me a picture of her and Bill before I left.. it is the only picture we have on display. And I love to look at it. It makes me smile
