Can We Watch a Movie?!?

We have been busy trying to get everything set up, so our new place can really feel like home. We went to IKEA a month ago to buy a couch, but the pattern we wanted was new and they had to order it for us. We had already spent a month without a couch and figured another couple of weeks wouldn't be a big deal, especially if it meant getting the one we really wanted. So, we continued to take turns sitting in our one comfy chair! ;)

Well, of course with limited language abilities and a few mix-ups we still don't understand, it took 3 weeks from the time they said they could deliver it until they did. We are very thankful to have people here who speak the language quite well and are willing to navigate the menu options with the IKEA support line!!!!

Thankfully the couch did make it despite a very choppy conversation between me and the delievery man which consisted of "couch", "here", "now", and "thank you". The best part is how excited the kids were. It made us laugh how happy they were to have a couch again. Micah jumped right up on it and the first thing he asked was..."Can we watch a movie now?!" Funny how his little mind works!
