Happiness!!!!

The Stoic One and I are so lucky.  We have the most fantastic friends.  Two of them, Joseph and Paul, are already living in Umbertide, waiting patiently for us to arrive.
In the mean time, Joseph, who is the best designer ever,  has been working on our apartment trying to get it together.
Here are photos of the family room. We are looking for rugs and then the room will be pretty much complete.  Hurray!

The living room still needs some work, but the book shelf got moved from the little apartment to the new one!

The weird thing about the book shelf is that it looks bigger in the big apartment...it's about the height of the ceiling so they say, although it doesn't make much sense to me.

Anyway, things are moving along in Italy.  Our household goods are now on a ship, god knows where, making its way across the ocean.

We are getting closer.....
