We finally moved into our house! Yippeee! I suppose the delay really wasn’t that huge but it sure felt that way to us. First, our sea shipment was supposed to arrive on August 29th….but it was a week late. Then, Rick’s work permit (which we needed to have the shipment released from customs) was supposed to be ready on August 28th……but it was about 10 days late. Then, even though we had both the sea shipment here and the work permit in hand……the Port Authority went on strike because of the protests in Bangkok over the current Prime Minister…..yet one more delay! However, finally on September 8th, we moved into our house and now we have all of our own stuff around us! It was like Christmas, sleeping in our own beds, eating off our own dishes, having more clothes to wear, opening boxes full of toys and kids stuff, getting our bikes! We still have a few piles of stuff to put away but mostly, we are settled in now and just need to buy a few things for the house, hang some pictures (we have concrete walls with less than a millimeter of plaster on them….it’s HARD to get nails into them!), etc. Here’s a few shots of the house, inside and out:
(Nate was asleep - that's why he's missing! The outside pictures are the front door and the backyard.)
