All Moved In!


The cat loooved the boxes!

So it only took 100+ days to traverse the seas, but all our stuff finally arrived last week! 16 big boxes and it was so nice to finally have everything. It took a couple days, but I managed to find a spot for everything, which is shocking considering the lack of storage space in our apartment.
The sleep number bed was in one of the boxes and we were so excited to have our nice, comfy bed. We plugged it in and of course the converter wasn't strong enough so it blew the pump. So maddening. We went to Harvey Norman the next day, the furniture store where they sell sleep numbers, and they said to replace it would cost $1400!! So outrageously ridiculous. I hate how things are priced here, Australians are not very consumer savvy at all, and unfortunately the result is totally overpriced everything! Anyway, we are ordering one online (less than $100 USD) and having it shipped to my parents who will be here in a couple weeks to visit.
So now we feel more settled and it feels a bit more like home in the apartment - but I will admit I can't wait until we move into a nicer one! :)
