and the journey begins

I've started packing, sorting, organizing, cleaning, making messes, making piles, selling... Yes, we've started to get ready to MOVE!

As of right now we still have no official closing date but I keep hearing the 24th of March thrown around. That is less than 3 weeks away! Since the house is empty, we get possession at closing, and that means ... moving day is 3ish weeks away!

I kind of consider myself a professional when it comes to moving. If I really sat down and counted all the times I've moved in my life it would be PLENTY! Let's just take a small snapshot and look at the time from when I graduated from high school (2003) to the present (2011, for those of you wondering). I have moved a total of ... wait for it ... ELEVEN times. Totally not cool.

Kyle, on the other hand, lived in the same house he was born in until we got married. This is only his fourth move. Rookie. :)

Anyway, all that venting to say that since I know how big of an ordeal moving is, I've already started getting ready. Here are some snapshots of what has been going on in our house.

The rummage sale pile, taking up the entry way and entry closet...


The dining room turned into the room where stuff that is ready to be packed goes...

The laundry room has been cleaned out and is now storing tons of empty boxes. Who knew there were so many?

If I need quiet and clean space, I can hide under the stairs. All cleaned out!

And my latest craze, labeling every box with everything that is placed inside. This is going to be the most organized move yet, I can feel it!

So enough blogging, back to davy doing... packing...
