We have gotten flowers from Josh's work and from our new neighbors. (No tulips though) The first time the flowers came I am finally taking a nap and the door bell rings. I jump out of bed grab Jackson and run downstairs. I go to open the door and can't get it open. I remember that you have to have the key to open the door and of course Josh is not there because he is picking up our car.
There are about 5 different kinds of keys to every door in this house. NONE of them open the stupid door. I am fumbling around and Jackson is getting really mad. I look around the house to see how in the world can I get outside to this poor man waiting at our door. Every door I need a key for. I run to the "Inside Garage" and apparently grabbed the key for the "Outside Garage", I have to run back to the front door where all the keys are and grab the Inside Garage key and finally get out to this man.
By this time I am pretty sure about 10 minutes has passed.
I said I am so sorry, he hands me the flowers because of course he can speak no English and he takes off. I say thanks and he sort of waves at me like ok.
So now I am locking the stupid door again and the knob starts turning. I have a bit of a panic attack. I keep locking it because who knows what is on the other side of the door and then I hear a knock. I say a sort of panicked who is it and it's Josh back from getting the rental car.
I have to unlock the door again to let him in and am so mad at the stupid locks that I am almost in tears. We figured out that I didn't even have a key to the front door, I now know which keys go where and we had a second key made for me.
After these few mishaps everything has gone much better! Jackson and Grace are adjusting just fine. Josh and I are getting there!

Oh Josh and Lindsey...I bet it is so hard to get adjusted to a new country. You can do it! Hope all is going better for you. Brandon and I are thinking of you! Take care!
