Packing

Last year when we moved from Texas to Florida we packed everything we could into 2 cars. Whatever we couldn't fit we left at my moms house and would come back later for it. It was SO easy. Not so much this time.

Now, I have to fit as much as I can into ONE car. Everything that can't fit GOES AWAY. I'm trying to sell as many things as I can on craigslist. So far I've gotten rid of my dining set, my living room tables, and my book cases. I've also gotten rid of a couple small things, but I need to get rid of more! I only have 2 weeks left!

Last night I tried to go through our belongings and sort things we NEED to bring, and things we could live without, or irreplaceable things. It's so hard! Things like my Christmas decorations are really hard to part with. I spent a lot of time collecting those at really good prices when I worked at Hobby Lobby. I had 2 big plastic totes full, and I've narrowed it down to one medium sized cardboard box. It's mostly sentimental ornaments and Disney decorations now.

Other things are easy to part with, such as wedding presents we haven't even opened yet! LOL That's what happens when people get you things you don't register for! Unfortunately, they are things that not even craigslist searchers want... It may sound bad, but it's true.

I hope I can keep sane with this, and trying to fit work and fun activities in too. We are planning on going to Miami next week. We've never been there, and I'd like to go to the beach before I go to a place where there are no oceans.

I am really excited about the move though! It will be so much fun to reunite with my friends and be able to go to church again! And a good thing about getting rid of everything I own now, is that when we get to Utah, I'll get to go shopping! And I LOVE shopping! :D
