Key to the House!!!!

Yesterday we got the keys to the house. It was raining pretty good so we didn't get any pictures. We went through the house now that it was empty to see where needed painting, what rooms needed lights and what exactly we need to get. Here in Germany when someone moves they take all the light fixtures with them. They can also take all the kitchen with them and leave you with nothing. I knew the kitchen was staying. I was lucky and was left a few lights. Some are so horrible. I will have to take pictures of them tomorrow. One of them actually has leopard skin on it!!!! Wow just my style, NOT!!!! We took over two card loads of stuff from here at the hotel and will take more with us tomorrow. This last week we have started buying food that we could store easily here in our small space. Meagan really wants to paint her room but we will decide that once her bed linens come in and her furniture is in. She can't decide if she wants a pattern done on one wall or all a solid color. Matt has decided for now to not paint his room. His is a rich brown color that I think will go with what he wants for his room. If not I told him we can paint it at any time. He was fine with that. There are only the two BRIGHT yellow rooms that will get painted first. One is the room that will have our new workout eqp. and my craft supplies (okay those could fill the room alone). The other bright yellow room will be our big guest room. That I can get to whenever. Tomorrow we will get two shipments. In the morning is the one of all the things we have had in storage in Utah for the last 11 years. I went down the list and pretty well know where it is all going. Then in the afternoon we will get our quick shipment. Both of these are not very big and they guys should be in and out in no time. I hope we have time in the evening to go to this store to look at lights again. I had some picked out a while ago but we were not sure what was being taken so we waited. I hope they are still available and that I don't have to start that process over again. I will fill you in more tomorrow.
