Me and my bags arrived on Sunday morning about an hour ahead of schedule — yes! However, the Brit wasn’t due at the airport for another hour. 😦

2 suitcases weighing 50 lbs plus 2 carry-ons weighing about 100 lbs as well! (I might have packed a lot.)

No worries though. I put all of my bags on a trolley with dysfunctional wheels and sleepily proceeded to run into about 3 to 4 people with all 120 plus pounds of luggage. Whoops! I only had to wait about half an hour before I saw him running down the escalator! I was waving at him like a crazy person in an effort to catch his attention, so I could avoid pushing the trolley any further. No such luck. I pushed towards him and finally we were together again…for good, this time! 🙂

Monday and Tuesday were spent at the university registering, setting up a bank account, and feeling excited. So, until yesterday sometime, the guest bedroom looked like this….

I just want to say that I had nothing to do with the clothes rail toppled over onto the bed! It is broken. And yes, the Brit has a Steelers jersey! 🙂

There are still clothes on the bed now awaiting hangers, which we have to purchase, but I feel great about the organization and the extent to which I feel ‘settled in.’ I’m even doing some laundry today with clothes out on the line to dry! (It is about 55-ish degrees here with sunny skies…perfect weather to hang the wash out.)
