The first shipment is in

We got the keys to the house yesterday and were able to schedule to first of three of our deliveries of furniture and our stuff.  Today we got our express shipment which was awesome because it had all of our ski stuff which will come in handy in the 90+ deg heat.  We actually got a lot of good stuff too including our snorkeling stuff, bikes, some kitchen basics, and of course the PS 3 and the projector.  Tomorrow we are getting our loaner furniture.  That has also been a major headache.  For those of you that don't know, we were only able to bring a quarter of our normal weight allowance when we moved out here which means things like couches, dressers and entertainment centers did not make the trip. And to compensate us for not allowing us to bring everything, the military gives us loaner furniture for the 3 years we are here.  It's decent stuff, the problem is that when I went to sign up to get the furniture delivered I was told they were out of couches and recliner chairs.  And apparently their solution was for us to sit on the floor until some new ones came in.  So after several actions that I'm sure would get me fired by the likes of Amy and her HR rules once I get a real job ( I threatend to take the couch from the government furniture office), we are supposed to get both a sofa and chairs tomorrow....if you hear about me on the news tomorrow you will know how it went.  On to the good news, Nolan is gearing up for 4 games in the next week with his baseball team, and Kat has her first gymnastics practice on Fri, then again on Sat.  The coach there seems pretty good and because of the limited time they have in the gym tends to spend spend most of the time on skills relying on the girls to do strength and stretching on their own.  But she said a lot of the girls will meet together at the gym on off days and run, stretch and workout together when the gymnastics equipment isn't available. 
Well we'll post some more pics of the house, baseball, and the gym over the next few days. Not sure what the weekend has in store.  Probably more adventures in the ocean, and dining experiences.  h yeah one last thing.  Today me and Emily went out to eat at this little place near our new house...well somehow we totally jacked up the order (well it's probably because we know no Japanese) and ended up with enough food to feed the whole family plus G-ma G-Pa and the Rumbin clan (minus Tyler and Colin).  Yep here come the fat stuff your face Americans.
