I hate moving! In the seven+ years that Mark & I have been married, we have moved once. We moved out of a tiny apartment into our beautiful home. I didn't think we would leave this home until we had at least 4 or 5 children, but plans change. With law school fast approaching and a big move all the way to Washington State I have decided to get a head start on my packing. I have essential been packing since December. Ok, only the Christmas stuff, but I have been packing since February and seriously packing since May.
With all of that packing comes boxes, and lots of them. I can't believe the amount of stuff we own. Nothing nice, but just tons of stuff! What a waste of space. It feels like I have thrown away or given away over half of my possessions (maybe I have). Now my dilemma is where to put all of these boxes. They go various places and it is driving me crazy! The bulk of them are in the dinning room, but the nursery is filled with them too. Plus what is it about moving that means the house is a mess. Nothing has a place where it belongs anymore and things are out all over the place. I have never considered myself a neat freak, but this is driving me crazy!
We sold our office furniture :( I loved that furniture so much. On a good note though, that means the office is... I mean was empty. Now it's full of furniture that has been disassemble and wrapped in stretch wrap waiting to be loaded onto the truck.
I think I might just go crazy trying to pack a house full of belongings while trying to manage all of the boys, but this too shall pass and maybe someday I will look back and laugh at myself.
Here are some pics. I can't wait to move so I can stop stubbing my toes on random items that are out in the open.
I know the office doesn't look like there's much in there, but you can't see all of the walls. In this room there are 3 beds, a nightstand, 2 mattresses, and a bunch of framed artwork. I still have a lot more to put in that room, but there is also more space so that's good.

I feel for you, but at least you're on top of things. I always put it off too long, and end up just chucking stuff into boxes. At least you know your things are packaged well. Good luck!
so...you guys are headed off to law school! i was hoping you were going to say washington DC, not state...oh well.
if mark needs any advice, make sure to get in contact with corey.
best of luck with your move.
Well,
I haven't moved too many places either since I've been married so I dread the day we have to move, but it looks organized and all wrapped well.
We will be sad to have you move, good luck on your adventure!

You are definitely ahead of schedule with the packing. And what a great excuse to having a "messy" house, moving!! I'm sad to see you go, you are such a fun lady and a great mom! Good luck with everything, call me if you need alone packing time and I'll watch the boys!
When is the big moving day? You look ahead of the game. I'm the same way! I've moved to many times and I always start months ahead and label everything. People make fun of me when they see how I move my family. Good luck with everything!
