I won't bore people with all the details of moving day, but I wanted to take a moment to give props to the Japanese moving companies. You... are... awesome. Japanese moving companies are so careful and accommodating. They are so thorough, and courteous. I was just so pleased with the service we got. They were the first to notice damage and allow us the time to document it for claims purposes. They were the first to unpack boxes and carefully put things where they needed to go. They reassembled furniture, they were patient and playful with Aria. There was no sense they were in a rush to get out of the door.
I must admit, seeing our empty home and dreaming of all the ways I could furnish and decorate it was a lot of fun for me. Then our stuff showed up. And I remembered I had to work around the things we already have. It popped my balloon a little, but I am still glad to have our stuff back. Now the tedium of organizing and finding the "right place" for everything begins. Since our dresser is badly damaged and no longer functional, Hubby's and my clothing will probably still remain in suitcases for a little while longer.
To quote my father (and Ren & Stimpy):
"Happy happy. Joy joy." :-/
