Another Moving Update

f you wander back over here, you’ll see this line at the end:

Remind me that I said I feel good just knowing in about a month when I’m freaking out from having to move so soon.

What I should have said was “Remind me that I said I feel good just knowing in about a month when I’m freaking out from having to move that day.”

Yep, it’s a month and we are out of here! I called last week about getting out of our lease and after we talked this weekend, our plans are more or less solid. I have to pack (packing two bookcases took ten boxes, omg how many boxes is it going to take!), I have to clean, I have to repair nail holes from where I hung mirrors and pictures because I want my house to look like a home and not like a box with furniture in it.

We are bringing a friend of Chris’ down to help with the driving again. He helped when we moved to Charleston and it was great – which I can say now that the years have passed and I’m not mad about he and Chris ditching me the morning our stuff arrived (the nay vee moved us that time and we just drove the two cars). I have to remember to mark boxes for storage or for the house since we are staying with Mom at first – and then we’ll pack the truck and drive the 2500+ miles.

Just because our plans are solid, doesn’t mean it can’t change. We know the leave dates, but Chris will be gone up until practically the last second. So his friend B and I get to load the moving truck ourselves (really we will probably hire a few guys we know) and we’ll leave before Chris comes back. Then Chris is going to fly and meet us and we are going on vacation (not B, he’s just hired help! Haha).

I’m going to rewrite my todo lists today, let’s see what I can get done between now and tomorrow!
