I know I said I'd update you all a bit more often, and that IS the plan. Right now I seem to be digging through the trenches of many years worth of boxes simply to walk around my house, and the thought of sitting down and updating you all on the madness...is kind of daunting! Such is life when you move, and when you downsize for that matter. We went from a house with attic and basement storage (each full to the brim, mind you)... into one with neither. The amount of STUFF we have is ridiculous....R-I-D-ICULOUS! I'm strongly considering putting all of the boxes in the yard and lighting a torch. We will never miss the stuff, I'm fairly certain!!!
It isn't as bad as it sounds, don't let me complain too much. We do have a large barn/shop on the property that we will store some of our things in until we build the house...but that's a process in and of itself. Unload boxes in the house, then repack what we don't think we'll need on a daily basis into Rubbermaid totes to try and keep the rodents out, and stack them in the shop. Quite the process. I'm a "get in and stay up all night until you're unpacked and it looks like you've lived there for years" kind of gal...so not being fully moved in after almost 2 weeks is REALLY hard! I will be done, one day, and I'll post pictures of the pad for you all to enjoy! Until then...go to your closets, and start throwing things away that you never use. One day you will thank me. Stuff collects in places you never think about until you are forced too and then you just want to cry thinking about all of the hundreds of dollars worth of things that have sat tucked away in cupboards and closets, and sucked the life right out of ya;) Okay...maybe a bit dramatic...but I think you get the idea! If I never see another box after this move, it will be too soon!!!
