And Finally...

Here is our beautiful kitchen. There actually turned out to be plenty of room for all of our things (granted, we didnt bring back all of our gifts.). The oven is absolutely tiny, barely fits a lone cookie sheet but it gets the job done! It's actually rather cute!

This is a picture of our entry way. The blank wall will house our yet to be delivered desk for christian and our kitchen table.
And finally, last but not least, our family room. It all came together pretty well. We love it and are proud of all of our hardwork and labor! We are just anxiously waiting for our first visitors!


Tomorrow is when the fun begins! Christian starts orientation from 9:30-5 and I have my first job interview at 9 a.m. I guess our days of sleeping in and enjoying the summer are gone! However, we are excited to get started! and to see what is in store for us!

Almost done . . . four days and the wave of the wand




Believe us, it took more work than it looks like!! Friday morning our moving truck arrived, but not our movers. Things were a little bit complicated by the fact that we only had one hour to unload the truck. We worked like crazy and some neighbors came to our rescue in the nick of time. On Saturday we rented a car and made stops for some essentials at Bed Bath and Beyond, Costco, Target, Home Depot, a different BBB, a different Target, yet another Target, and then Shaws Grocery store. Needless to say, the Taurus was full by the time we got home nine hours later. Now we are finally able to relax and enjoy the place a little. It's a world of difference from when we only had our travel bags, an air mattress, and a deck of Uno cards.

Arriving at 11D Shaler Lane



We arrived in Cambridge on Monday night and stayed at the Mariott. Then on Tuesday we went and picked up the keys for our apartment. We stayed at the hotel again that night, hoping that our moving truck would arrive within the next day or so. When we realized that our truck had been misdirected and wouldn't arrive until Friday, we decided to get an air mattress and "rough it" until our stuff arrived.
