We have been in our new apartment for three weeks now. For just over half of that time we were sleeping on an air bed and sitting on beach chairs. A little over a week ago our container arrived from the UK. I am now sitting on MY sofa, drinking out of MY mugs and reading MY books. 😀
We left Sheffield last August to come to Mobile for what we thought would be a year. We had packed our 2 suitcases full of what we thought we need (mainly clothes!) as we knew that we were heading to a fully furnished apartment. The apartment we were placed in was lovely! It was in a newly built complex and quite modern. The square footage was actually almost as big as our house in the UK! We were (& still are) very grateful to have a furnished apartment but it didn’t feel right as none of it was ours and it was decorated how we would have done it.
