We are here......where's our stuff?????

We arrived late Friday night...about 10:30. Not too far off from our original estimate of 17 hours. We actually would have made it more quickly if it were not for the 3 hours it took us to go about 40 miles in Virginia. Lets just say that was fun. Ben was awesome. He actually slept all but about 3 hours of the trip, basically waking up when we stopped for food, gas or a diaper changed. And, surprisingly enough, he even slept all night at the hotel. How do I spell angel child?? Amd Phoebe was a champ. She had a mild sedative before we left and while she was awake the entire time, she was fairly peaceful for the ride. Not normally the most affectionate cat, she has been so sweet since we got here. I am not sure if she is petrified or if the pills were mood altering!!

Anyway, we are here in our apartment with no stuff. Our things were supposed to come between Saturday and Monday (with the emphasis on Saturday) but still nothing. I am on the floor to type this blog with one of our 10 belongings we brought down from MA (work laptop). Supposedly our furniture, etc will be arriving first thing today. Lets hope so. It has been exciting to be here, but really, we just need our furniture and start to get settled in so we can really enjoy our exploring.

Basically at this point, we have a new desk chair, but no desk. A new wireless keyboard and mouse, but no computer. Cable and internet access, but no TVs. We have eated out a lot which you would think is great, but I really just want to make something normal. My stomach is not used to all this take out and restaurant food!

Hopefully our delivery will come early this morning as we were told and we can begin the unpacking. Our new apartment seems really great so far and I am assuming it will only get better with our belongings being in here. We really need Ben's toys. I think he is starting to get bored (thats how I interpret his constant need to climb on us!). He is sooooo close to walking I just want his push toy thing that is supposed to help babies walk. I bet once he gets that, he will be up and running in no time. We have a playroom in this apartment that is just waiting for Ben and his toys.

Anyway, will report back once we get some stuff.
