In the house

So we finally moved into our house last week, and of course it didnt go smoothly. Tuesday we got all of our stuff, surprisingly nothing major broken from the move, I think the only casualty was a picture frame. The only bummer is that alot of our small appliances, lamps, and various other electrical items wont work because of the difference in voltages. So we went and bought new lamps at Ikea but thats about it. The Housing office provides us with voltage compliant major appliances and transformers so we can plug a few American appliances into. The next day we got our oven, washer/dryer, and fridge. The hot water heater, dryer, and oven are all gas ran appliances so we had to get our tank filled with gas before they worked. Once we finally got gas the dryer, and oven worked, but no hot water. This is where it started sucking after about 4 days of technicians and plumbers going back and forth on what the problem was we finally got hot water in the house. Thats 4 days of cold showers... it sucked.

We still have a few lingering boxes to unpack. Probably wont be able to get phone service, or internet until September because the Italians take the month of August off for vacation.

Paighton has been taking swim lessons, she's now in level 2. Soccer will be starting soon. Thats about all i got for now... More to come.

Thats about all I got for now
