"One Box At A Time"

Packing... yuck!

OK- So I'm trying to get in the "packing mode", but it's been really hard when you've never moved your entire life. And now you are forced to pack 25 years worth of life and, well let's face it... accumulated junk... into tiny little boxes and ship them across the country to a new home front.

In the next few weeks that are left until the wedding, I will keep a running total on here of the days and how many boxes were completed on that day. =D

As it stands in the total of packed boxes ready to ship:

4/8/08 - 2 boxes packed (one of which is stuff for the hubby, its not even really stuff from MY room!) - yep, that's it, only 2 boxes, lol.

5/9/08 - 3 boxes packed! 2 full of random paperwork that I need to go through before mailing out (it was all dumped into boxes bc Daddy needed a filing cabinet for Gma's paperwork). 1 box half full of random ball caps that I wear when I go to the beach or I don't feel like washing my hair that day (i.e. you know I'm having an "off day" when I'm wearing a ball cap... unless I'm at a ball game ;). The rest of the box will prolly have assorted purses or things).

5/19/08 - 1 box. More random paperwork that I took out of a crate and threw into a box. the dang crate was in my walking space (what little I have atm) and I kept jamming my toes in the crate holes (OW)... I made the exec. decision to trash the crate and throw all the contents into a waiting and empty box. Must remember to sort through crap, I mean "contents" of box later this week. :P

5/24/08 - With Joe in town we got 8 boxes mailed!

5/26/08 - Happy Memorial day! Joe hand carried a box of important docs on the plane for me (I LOVE YOU SWEETHEART!) Plus I got 2 more boxes packed after he left and I'm planning on finishing up another few more this week ;).

5/30 - 6/1/08 - With LOTS of help from various family membrs, 7 more boxes have been completed and ready to ship! Thanks everyone!!! :)

6/7/08 - Thanks to my wonderful family, I finally dragged those 7 boxes out to the post office and got them mailed! Yay! - I think overall now there should be 15 boxes in transit to my Joe, but for some reason my list says there are 19 boxes! So... I have concluded that I probably put down one too many tick marks on the list (I tend to over count things anyway). I think there may be a total of 4-5 boxes left to go and then everything should be on the way! ;).
