It's raining...

...Couches?! (not only couches, but actual rain, because since my last post we have made it back to a not-so-sunny Holland!)


This past January, after many hours of walking through furniture stores with crying and whining children, we found the perfect couch. As we ordered the couch I was quite shocked to hear that it would take +/- 3 months until it could be delivered! And today, after 6 long months of waiting, my perfect couch made its abrupt arrival into our living room. 


Why do I say abrupt you might ask? Because no more than 10 minutes after I opened my door at 8.30 this morning, 2 delivery men had literally dumped 6 pieces of our couch into the living room before they were gone again. So there I stood, sleepy-eyed with a cup of tea in my hand, bedazzled by the sight before me. 



After I snapped out of my bedazlement (my own word) I decided to get to work. 2 hours later I: 


learned some German


Made an even bigger mess


Realized that a large portion of the couch will not fit into our tiny living room



Had to remind myself that someone is coming tomorrow to pick up our 2 old couches currently standing in our kitchen.



And remembered how comfortable and perfect our couch is, despite the fact that my German isn't good enough to figure out how I'm supposed to connect them! ha!

Now I'm going to go enjoy my couch before the movers come and take it away from me in a few weeks!
