Ryan's 30th!

We celebrated Ryan's big 3-0 with our friends at home. We had apps by the fire, then had a HUGE meal on our new dining room table. All in all it was a wonderful evening and the birthday boy felt quite special indeed!

Our shipment arrives

Finally, all of our things arrive from SF, CA. Hurray!! Once we are totally settled, we will share pics of our home...

Seeing this truck pull up was an amazing feeling!

Hoisting the bed over the terrace. Dangerous stuff...

All of our 93 boxes!!

How do we get that desk into the house?

So our things FINALLY arrived from the states. We are happy to have our bed and have our work cut out for us over the next week or so getting everything into it's proper place. The one thing that we were concerned about was Ryan's HUGE desk and sure enough, it didn't fit through the door. So, what did Ryan do? He cut it in half of course! Once it's restored, I'll post the "after" pic.

Our newest plant edition

We recently bought ping pong paddles to play on the permanent table at the park near our house

Royal Wedding, Turkish Pides and belly dancers...

A few images of the bar we went to watch the Royal Wedding at. Complete with "look-a-like" Kate and William, and a bouquet toss!

Last night we went to a Turkish restaurant that had a belly dancing show. Here's Ryan showing up the dancer with his sweet moves. Check out the girls at the table to his left. Loving it!
