Well folks, we are less that 72 hours away before the movers arrive for our first shipment. The house has officially exploded into a hot mess. We figured we would put all our items for this first shipment into one room...which I still think was a great idea, but in the midst of it all I feel as though my house is a disaster. We spent most of today in the garage, organizing and sorting through what is going into storage, what we are taking, and what we are selling...which resulted in an impromptu garage sell, and while it may not look like it, the garage is pretty much set.
We put tape down the middle of the garage; one side is storage, one side is take. Anything we didn't sell today got loaded up and taken down to the Salvation Army. We haven't even started on the inside though. Since we know we are downsizing, we have lots to go through. I've pretty much sorted through my closet but now we have to sort through what we are taking during our travels and what we are putting in our "to check" baggage.
I've basically started to just take one day at a time, if I think any further ahead I freak out and become crazy overwhelmed. So as of now, we are putting the last minute touches on our express shipment items which will get picked up at the beginning of this week!
Today marks 13 days left in our home. So crazy. To know that in 13 days this house will be empty, kinda freaks me out! haha. It'll all be worth it, but good golly, this is a lot of work!
Also wanted to update everyone on our going away parties...
We will be having our party in Portales on Aug 10 and one in Abq on Aug 16. We will head back to Abilene on August 17th to finish up things here.
