All our household effects (HHE) arrived on Tuesday. Everything smelled good and musty after sitting in crates on a ship for two months. The house is finally feeling like home. It's was hard not to feel like ignorant Americans as the moving crew brought box after box after box into the house. We lived in a small 1,000 sq ft townhouse in VA and we still have so much stuff. Seriously, does a family of two adults and a baby really need more than two dozen bath towels? Justin has probably three drawers full of t-shirts, of every color imaginable (mostly maroon and orange!). How do we accumulate so much stuff? When I see so many Filipinos with so little it makes me feel bad for having so much. As our lovely housekeeper, Aida says...it's a blessing. She's right, we are blessed. More than we know.
