We took this picture in Germany after the container was loaded and just before the doors were shut.
The container was sealed after the doors were shut. We were told the seal would not be broken until the container arrived at our home in Colorado.
The loaded container before it left our house in Germany.
The arrival of our container in Colorado Springs.
Ouray Creek Pt - this is our new street address in the Springs.
After the container arrived yesterday morning, the trucker broke the seal and handed it to Tim.
We were so relieved when the doors were opened, to see that everything was still intact, a big answer to prayer!
Unloading in front of our new house.
I "supervised" the unloading by telling our crew where to take the boxes. Every single item/box had to be numbered for insurance purposes.
Empty! It took less than an hour thanks to an amazing crew of hard workers.
The empty container leaving our house. I wonder what journey it will take next!
Boxes everywhere! We have our work cut out for us for the next while!
Part of the team who helped us. Thanks to all of you! What a huge blessing you are to us!
Steve, beside Tim, is a former BFA student, and Don, second from right is a former BFA staff member. The other two gentlemen are C&MA colleagues.
Hours spent unpacking in the kitchen - still not done.
It is beginning to look a little bit like home!

YAYAYAY! So glad that things arrived safely. What a funny feeling to see it all here, hey? I rode my bike yesterday and that was really strange. I was using my German hand signals without thinking. I think they'll work here anyway! Have a good time unpacking. We have a few weeks to wait until our stuff will get out of the boxes.
Woo-hoo! I'm so glad God answered prayers about everything being in tact!
Happy unpacking! Looks strange to see your furniture there. Can't wait to see your place for real.
So happy for you to have your things again. Maybe you'll feel more at home here in Colorado with a little bit of "familiar" around you.
