i had a very hard time falling asleep last night. went over and over the boxes, their content, their weights... etc. then had weird dreams of an empty apartment filled with pillows.... today i thought the movers would come at ten, but then tim told me between 10 and 12! so even more hours of wondering whether it was all ok... i decided to make one more box at the last moment.... then the movers came, and they were so nice! and the boxes were not too heavy and it was all done quickly and i just watched and didnt do a thing..... how convenient! in the end we had 18 medium boxes, and one bigger one to the left (we have some really nice picture frames that didnt fit in the medium ones). underneath the stack of boxes is a wooden bench that we bought off craigslist for just 40 dollars but that is just so very pretty that ever since we got it we knew we would ship it back home... its originally from a ship and the top opens. we used to keep (a portion of) our (my...) shoes in there, and whenever it wasnt covered in bags and stuff you can sit on it to actually put on your shoes... :) they wrapped it thoroughly and one of these weeks it will once again be on a ship, this time to amsterdam.... so... with the boxes some worries went as well... now i just hope we actually receive the stuff in amsterdam. i will let you know, of course!
that movie poster was always hanging on one of the doors in our apartment (the one with the washer/dryer, i always thought that was funny). we got it at the cinema when we saw the movie. its a good movie, i think, sad but funny as well, so watch it if you havent yet!

I can imagine dreaming of an apartment filled with much worse than pillows! That actually sounds kind of comforting.
We had over 300 boxes when we moved to Washington. I was an exhausted wreck. Everything arrived just fine, including me.
That was a funny dream, but glad you made it in the end. Now you have some space left I hope. The poster is very suitable!
What an accomplishment! Can't wait to read more of your future blogs. I hope that all goes very well for you during the rest of your journey. After all the exhausting work is finished after the move, will you be meeting with biebkriebels??
How about some wrap-up posts about what you learned from your four years in the USA . . .
