Our household goods shipment arrived last Friday. The move went smoothly and everything arrived in one piece (except for one Hungarian bowl, but that's ok). Two things to be thankful for: the piano had nary a scratch (and was pretty much in tune) and no Turks were killed in the process of moving my gigantic armoire down the stairs and into our apartment!
After the movers left, we began putting together furniture (the true test of a marriage!) and unpacking boxes. For 3 days straight we were like Tazmanian devils, caught up in a whirl of packing tape, Philips screw drivers, and furniture instructions. We only stopped to go the mall to get Popeye's (you really have to come visit and witness Tim acting out which pieces of chicken he wants-thighs, legs, wings..)and kampir (my new favorite-a huge twice baked potato with loads of toppings, but I opt for no hotdogs on mine).
We worked really well together building all the furniture. The only problem was that Tim wanted to put together a storage shed out back and I wanted to work on the feng shui of the house and lovingly place dishes and decorative pillows in the most perfect places. So, when we woke up to snow on Sunday, I was secretly happy that there would be no storage shed building that day! Now, as I run out of space due to unnecessary furniture, I really wish that shed was built!
Our apartment is wonderful and it is really fun to set it up! It has huge windows that overlook the park in the valley below. We also have wonderful , helpful neighbors with 2 cute little boys. We are very fortunate to live in such a great place during our time in Ankara!
