Packing

Husband and I are movin' into new digs this weekend. While I'm so excited to move - lets just say the packing process isn't my favorite.

Most of my things are in storage, so I didn't have much to pack at Husband's house (where I have been squatting for the past few months, as our leases didn't end at the same time). I took out my biggest suitcase and shoved all my clothes that weren't on hangers into it, grabbed a tote bag and threw all of my bathroom stuff into it, and presto doneo!

Husband's packing.. not so easy. Not that he has lots o' stuff... but I just hate packing.

When I moved in, I emptied a huge blue tub.  I left it empty for husband to pack when the time came. Now that the time has come - I told him to use the blue tub before anything else - thinking that we have to take it anyway.The tub was still empty after I put together a few boxes, and those boxes got filled with goodies. Grrr. Now the stupid tub is filled with randomness that I will no doubt have to sort through and empty.

Packing organization isn't one of Husband's strong points. I like to label, he doesn't.

Oh well.

The big move begins Thursday after 6:00 pm (when Mr. & Mrs. Seller have to be outta their house for us to mooove on it).

Our schedule is as follows :

Thursday:
-Close on house
-Work
-Bring one load of stuff to the house (cannot waste a trip), along with cleaning supplies
-Scrub new house from top to bottom while empty

Friday:
-Wake up early
-Change name @ SS office & DMV (can't waste a day off!)
-Move all boxes and tubs and furniture light enough for just husband and I to lift..
-Begin to unpack.. get as much done as possible

Saturday:
-Wake up early
-Continue to unpack
-Wave goodbye to husband as he and his big strong friends leave to load up all our heavy furniture.
-Continue to unpack while keeping things organized and out of the way for big strong boys & their furniture.
-Wave hello as husband and crew move all of our furniture into the house..
-Order pizza, buy beer for big strong men as a thank you
-Unpack more

Sunday:
-Wake up early
-Finish any unpacking necessary
-Actually go to HOM furniture to order new end table/coffee table/hutch; set up delivery for kitchen table/patio set/all new stuff for sometime during the week
-Help husband pack for ANOTHER business trip (worst 2 weeks to travel ever)
-Go shopping to buy new things for house/grocery shopping/Katie time!
-Stay out of the house while husband mounts huge TV to wall (don't want to be there for that) and keep fingers crossed all goes as planned.

Ahhh the joys of moving. Just keep your fingers crossed that the U-haul key doesn't get lost or something crazy. Because its very frustrating when that happens, even if the key man who comes to rescue you has an adorable doggie to play with.

After Sunday :
-Decorate new place.
-Commense mentioning getting a dog every day until it happens.....
