Getting Ready

In preparation for our move, we donated 247 items to the ARC today! We still have a heck of a lot of stuff/clothing to bring, but at least we are down by 247 things.

My goal for this week is to get some boxes (for free) and to sort my kitchen stuff and pack up the stuff that I am not going to take. Since we will most likely have a very small kitchen I am going to store a lot of serving dishes and the fancier stuff we got for our wedding because we just won't have room for it all.

I am hoping to bring a couple loads of stuff over to the storage unit before John gets back from his L.A. trip on Wednesday. I have several boxes of teaching stuff already packed and ready to go in the garage and I hope I can get the downstairs pantry all emptied out as well.

With the classes that I am taking, I feel like I have been SO busy, but after this week they will be done, with the exception of the online ones, and I will have a lot more time to dedicate to getting everything ready for the move.

We have set a date with the moving company (August 10th) and decided that we will leave ourselves on August 13th. John will start work on August 17th and I will start Wednesday the 19th.

Seems like things are starting to come together....
