Feelin' boxed in

This is a familiar scene in our home these days!


The walls are looking empty, the closets are cleaned out and the floors have now been taken over by big brown boxes! It's exciting but scary at the same time. We've never moved before (the first move from our condo into this house didn't count really, we were newlyweds at the time and hardly had anything), so this is all so new to us. I don't like the uneasy feeling!!! I'm a total organization freak, so not knowing where things are is bothering me. The boxes are all clearly labeled and sealed up, so it won't be hard to figure out where they'll go in our new home, so that should help.

The kids' toy closet...no room for anything but boxes now!




I can't even begin to tell you how many boxes we have filled already (thanks Lowes!)...and how many more we have yet to fill. We've gone through a bunch of tape rolls already and don't even get me started on bubble wrap and packing paper...which is definitely way overpriced for what it's worth!!!

The finished room in our basement is now a holding spot for packed boxes!


Cody has had enough already! He is tired of hearing the tape dispenser make that loud swooshing noise. He's tired of seeing all our 'stuff' moved from one room to another, and I'm sure is wondering what in the world is going on. Fortunately he will be at the pet spa for a few days when we do the actual move, but in the mean time...you can be praying for the adjustment he'll have to make in our new home. After what he went through in his life, this could once again be traumatizing for him. Here's his story if you've never read it.


Well, I'm off to find what else I can pack....I'm not sure where the kids are right now...I hope I didn't pack 'em! =)
