We have furniture!
Our household goods FINALLY arrived last Friday. The movers came at 8:30am & left around 2pm. They unloaded everything while we directed them on where to put it & then they also put the beds together. It is so nice to finally have couches & our big tv & kitchen stuff to cook on. The air mattress we had was actually pretty comfortable so I wasn't really excited to get the bed, haha. We spent the whole weekend unpacking and putting everything away. After all was said & done, the only thing missing was the glass top to our patio table (which we planned on selling) and the only things that were broken & a total loss were the computer desk & a living room end table. There were a few things that had minor damage, but we have come to accept that with us moving every few years, it's inevitable so no sense in getting upset over it. Since most of our stuff has been in storage for a couple years, we had to wash EVERYTHING! We also realized that we need more furniture than what we have. We only have one dresser for both Kolt & I & it is now time to get an additional one. The movers broke the computer desk so we now we need to get another one for the desktop computer. Our kitchen has very little cabinet space & we decided to get a hutch to have more storage space. The prices for furniture here are outrageous. We have one furniture store in Sitka & another store that sells a small selection of furniture that you put together yourself. While unpacking everything, we have come across quite a bit of stuff that we no longer need or want or that we have several of & have managed to accumulate about seven boxes of stuff to sell in a community yard sale. However, WE HAVE FURNITURE!!! So come visit us!
