We were told that our container with furniture would arrive on Tuesday at 3:00 and that we would have three hours to unload it. We were thus surprised when it showed upt at 1:30 because none of our friends were there yet to help unpack! However, the truck driver said we could still have it until 6:00 to unpack. And to our surprise, we had more people than anticipated show up to help. We had 15 people there and it went very smooth. Aimee made them all brats for dinner and many stuck around to help put together beds and arrange furniture. By the time Aimee and I went to bed, our bed was put together and even had sheets on it (thanks to Sharon finding them in a box!). The only challenge was finding the bolts and hardware for the boys' bunkbed. I found them the next morning and while in the middle of putting it together, a friend showed-up unannounced because he figured we could use some more help! It was perfect timing. We got the bunkbeds up, my office rearranged, and a few other odds and ends done before we both had to go. The boys slept well last night (Owen's first in the bunkbed as he had been in a crib until we left Denver. He feels like a "big boy" now.).
And a few of you have asked about the boys' school situation (a big concern for us before we left). They are both in Kindergarten and there was no problem getting them in, although Jacob did get one of the last spots in his class. This is what we had been hoping and praying for (God continues to bless and bless). Jacob is in the oldest class and Owen is in the youngest. Both boys go three days a week from 8-12:15 and on the other two days Jacob goes from 8-1:15 and stays for lunch. They are both adjusting well to their classes and their teachers are great.
Hopefully the internet gets turned on at the hosue today! If so, I will try to get pictures posted in the next couple of days.

Brian/Aimee,your brother Jimmy recently joined our Army organization and he told me about your mission. I am so excited for you! My husband and I lived in Germany for eight years, so understand some of the challenge. As you've already experienced, He will provide even when it's just a freezer :) Thanks for sharing your journey!
