We are coming home and it is starting to feel real!! Last Thursday the movers came and packed up our big shipment. They took almost everything, and the last little things will be packed on the 29th or go with us on the plane. It really is amazing how much we can live without. And it is much easier to clean the house now that there is nothing to dust!
We were able to borrow furniture from the housing department on base. So right now the only furniture we have in our house is a horrendous hunter green sofa with gold leaf patterns, a semi-horrendous hunter green chair with gold and navy blue checks, a coffee table, a dresser and a bed. The only think worse than looking at the pattern on the couch is sitting on it. It is really hard and sounds like you are sitting on plastic, but at least it is a sofa. Even Connor doesn't like it. The first day we got it, she jumped up on it and immediately jumped off. Then she looked at me like "what the heck is that thing?"
The other funny thing is that every room echos. We have hardwood in every room, so there is almost nothing to absorb the sound. Connor sounds really ferocious when she barks!
Seriously though, we are leaving Japan and I can't really wrap my head around it. I am excited to see y'all back home - we have missed family and friends so much!!!
